The native myosin and paramyosin extracted from the ordinary muscle of yellowtail (Seriola quinqueradita) and the adductor muscle of whelk (Neptunea arthritica cumingi) were studied for their physico-chemical characteristics. Molecular weight, molar extinction coefficient at 278 nm and intrinsic viscosity were accounted for $4.6{\times}10^5$dalton, 5.44 in $E^{1cm}_{1%}$ and 1.60 dl/g in yellowtail myosin, and $2.0{\times}10^5$ dalton, 3.04 in $E^{1cm}_{1%}$ and 2.60 dl/g in whelk paramyosin, respectively. Yellowtail myosin showed a $0.342\;{\mu}mole-Pi/min/mg-protein$ of ${Ca}^{2+}-ATPase$ activity and contained 40 group-SH/mole-myosin. The ratio of polar amino acids to non-polar amino acids and that of acidic amino acids to basic amino acids were 0.54 and 1.64 in yellowtail moysin, and were 0.47 and 2.42 in whelk paramyosin, respectively.

Pyrethroic acids are essential chiral intermediates of the pyrethroids, which account for about 25% of the world insecticide market and are found to be some of the most effective commercially available pesticides. It was demonstrated that polysaccharide-derived chiral stationary phases (CSPs) are very efficient for the separation of the enantiomers of pyrethroid acids. It was observed that the enantioseparation of pyrethroic methyl ester and ethyl derivatives was well accomplished on brush-type WhelkO-1. (omitted)

We investigated the effects of shell height on reproductive potential of the female Rapana venosa in three regions of different salinities (the coastal zone of the Gwangyang Bay (S-1); the upper reaches (S-3); lower reaches (S-2) of the Seomjin River). The number of egg capsules, egg capsule height, and fecundity associated with reproductive potential of larger female rapa whelks were higher than those of smaller individuals in all three regions. Correlation analyses showed that there is a significant positive correlation between egg capsule and female shell height. Mean of shell heights, egg capsule heights, the number of egg capsules in an egg mass, and fecundity in an egg capsule produced from female individuals inhabiting S-1 region were markedly higher than those inhabiting S-2 and S-3 regions. In particular, the fecundity of the rapa whelk increased with the salinity and shell height. Although large rapa whelks produced a large number of egg capsules at S-1 region, those at S-3 habitat laid less egg capsules with smaller size. If these rapa whelks were put into S-2 region, the number of egg capsules produced by a female at S-2 region was slightly larger than those produced by a female at S-3 region. This provides a clear evidence that the number of the egg capsules can be controlled by the salinity. In the coastal zone of the Gwangyang Bay and the upper reaches of Seomjin River, the fecundity of this species was estimated to be approximately 182,000-1,302,000 eggs/ind./yr.

The denaturation mechanism of the protein during heating of myosin and paramyosin extracted from the ordinary muscle of yellowtail (Seriola qrinqueradits) and the adductor muscle of whelk (Neptunea arthritica cuming) were investigated by analyzing the hydrophobicity, solubility, SH group and protein-protein interaction. The free hydrophobic residue of the two proteins were increased by increase of heating temperature up to $65^{\circ}C$ and then decreased for further temperature raise. The protein-protein interaction was proportional to the increment of the free hydrophobic residue. The aggregation of protein was begun from $65^{\circ}C$ with the decrease of the free hydrophobic residues. The results of Arrhenius equation for the data on proteinprotein interaction showed that the denaturation course was made up with multi-steps in the myosin and two-steps in the paramyosin. The number of free hydrophobic residue and SH group, solubility and protein-protein interaction were significantly differed with the denaturation temperature (p<0.01).

This paper deals with chiral enzymatic resolution of 4-arylthio-2-butanols by lipase to prepare potential intermediates of $\beta$-lactam antibiotics. Among several lipases employed, lipase P type enzyme gave the highest ee value to prepare (R)-4-arylthio-2-butyl acetate. The enzymatic resolution of phenyl substituted alcohol (6a) using lipase P showed the highest ee value (99.7%) among those of 4-arylthio-2-butanol derivatives. Lipase P mediated hydrolysis of acylester 7a gave also (R)-alcohol 6a selectively. For determination of enantiomeric purity of these enzymatic resolved analytes, liquid chromatographic analysis was performed using two coupled Chiralcel OD and (R,R)-WhelkO chiral column.

The method for the chiral analysis of (-)-yatein was developed and the distribution of this component in the plants of three genera like Juniperus, Thuja and Chamaecyparis belonging to Cupressaceae family was examined. The chiral analysis of (-)-yatein from the plants was carried out by high performance liquid chromatography on (R,R)-Whelk-O1 column using 81 v/v% methanol as mobile phase. The yatein content in the leaves of Juniperus was the highest in compare with that of the other two genera, providing the possibility of the chemical discrimination of the plants in Juniperus from the other plants in the Cupressaceae family. In general, the yatein content in the leaves was much higher than that in the twigs. This method could be applied for the quality control of (-)-yatein in the plants belonging to Cupressaceae family.

Neurotoxic shellfish poisoning (NSP) can result from eating filter-feeding shellfish carrying brevetoxins produced by the marine dinoflagellate Krenia brevis (formally Gymnodinium breve). Brevetoxins enhance sodium entry into cells via voltage-sensitive sodium channels and have an excitatory effect. The incubation period is three hours (range 15 minutes-18 hours). NSP is characterized by gastroenteritis combined with neurologic symptoms. Gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms include abdominal pain, nausea, diarrhea and burning pain in the rectum. Neurologic symptoms are paresthesia, reversal of hot and cold temperature sensation, myalgia, headache, vertigo, and ataxia. Other symptoms may include malaise, tremor, dysphagia, bradycardia, decreased reflexes, dilated pupils, seizure, and coma. The health problem caused by K. breviscan be associated with a red tide bloom. We encountered 3 cases of neurotoxic shellfish poisoning. They all presented with GI and neurologic symptoms andrecovered after conservative treatment.

This paper introduces a technique for resolving amino acids that combines the advantages of the conventional CSP (chiral stationary phase) method with the CMPA (chiral mobile phase additive) method. A commercially available chiral crown ether column, CROWNPAK CR(+), was used as the CSP and three cyclodextrins (${\beta}$-CD, ${\gamma}$-CD, HP-${\beta}$-CD) were used as the mobile phase additives. Chromatographic resolution was performed at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ with or without sonication. A comparison of the chromatographic results under ultrasonic conditions with those under non-ultrasonic conditions showed that ultrasound decreased the elution time and enantioselectivity at all temperatures. In the case of the ${\beta}$-CD mobile phase additive, the elution time and enantioselectivity under ultrasonic condition were significantly higher than under non-sonic condition at all temperatures. Commercially available Chiralpak AD, Whelk-O2 and Pirkle 1-J columns were used as CSPs to examine more meticulously the effects of ultrasonication and temperature on the optical resolution. The optical resolution of some chiral samples analyzed at $25^{\circ}C$ and $50^{\circ}C$ with or without sonication was compared. As in the previous case, the enantioselectivity was lower at $25^{\circ}C$ but similar enantioselectivity was observed at $50^{\circ}C$.

Finely-striate buccinum Buccinum striatissimum, a species of whelks, is caught mainly by pot in the eastern coastal waters of Korea. In order to determine the size selectivity of pot for the species, comparative fishing experiments were conducted near Yeongil Bay from June to September in 2003 using the dome-shaped pots with different five mesh sizes (17.1, 24.8, 35.3, 39.8, and 48.3 mm). The parameters of logistic equation were estimated by the SELECT (Share Each Length's Catch Total) method based on a multinomial distribution. The model with the estimated split parameter was found to fit the catch data best. The master selection curve was estimated to be s (R)=exp (13.044R-16.438)/[1 + exp (13.044R-16.438)], where R is the ratio of shell height to mesh size. The relative shell height of 50% retention was 1.260, and the selection range was 0.168. Enlargement in mesh size of the pot allows more small-sized whelks to escape.
