몇 개의 한국 대표 토양과 광물에 대하여 역적정 곡선 자료를 이용하여 표면해리상수의 분포 함수를 계산하였다. 공시 시료의 표면해리 상수는 넓게 분포하였으며, 광물 및 무기질 토양의 표면전하는 해리가 매우 약한 산성으로 나타나고. 유기질 토양에서는 중간정도의 산성을 띄우고 있었다.

To investigate the role of heparin in keratinocyte growth factor (KGF) and acidic fibroblast growth factor (aFGF) high affinity binding to the KGF receptor (KGFR), a cell free system was established which utilized a secreted chimeric molecule between the KGFR extracellular domain and the immunoglobulin heavy chain Fc domain (KGFR-HFc). KGFR-HFc was purified from NIH 3T3 cells and demonstrated the binding of $[^3H]-heparin$ as well as heparin Sepharose. Scatchard analysis showed that the dissociation constant for heparin binding to KGFR-HFc was 140 nM. High affinity KGF and aFGF binding to KGFR-HFc remained unchanged after treatment with 0.6 M NaCl, which is the concentration sufficient to release any bound heparin to the KGFR-HFc. These results strongly suggest that although the KGFR interacts with heparin, the presence of heparin is not absolutely required for high affinity binding of either KGF or aFGF to the KGFR.

The protonation parameters, dissociation constants ($pK_{BH^+}$) of conjugate acid, slope values (m, ${\phi}$ and $m^*$) and correlation coefficients (r) of hydroxamic acids were determined by Hammett acidity function method, Bunnett-Olsen method and excess acidity method in hydrochloric and perchloric acid solutions. Effect of acid concentration on partition and percentage protonation was also studied. $pK_{BH^+}$ values show that hydroxamic acids do not behave as Hammett bases, but hydroxamic acids behave as weak bases in strong acidic solutions. The values of $pK_{BH^+}$ obtained through Bunnett-Olsen method and excess acidity method were compared with the Hammett acidity function. ChemAxon's MarvinSketch 6.1.5 software was also used for determining $pK_a$, pI and microspecies distribution (%) of hydroxamic acids with pH. Hydrogen donor and acceptor values and logD were also obtained. The results show that N-p-chlorophenyl-4-bromobenzohydroxamic acid has the highest $pK_a$ and lowest logD values. On the contrary, N-phenyl-3,5-dinitrobenzohydroxamic acid has lowest the $pK_a$ and highest logD values.

4-Aminobutyrate aminotransferase plays an essential role in the 4-aminobutyric acid shunt, converting 4-aminobutyrate to succinic semialdehyde. Recombinant 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferases were overexpressed as their catalytically active forms in E. coli by coproduction with thioredoxin and their solubilities were also dramatically increased. In order to study the structural and functional aspects of the C-terminal domain of brain 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase, we have constructed a C-terminal mutant of pig brain 4-aminobutyrate aminotransferase and analyzed the functional and structural roles of C-terminal amino acids residues on the enzyme. The deletion of five amino-acid residues from C-terminus did not interfere with the kinetic parameters and functional properties of the enzyme. Also, the deletion did not affect the dimeric structure of the protein aligned along the subunit interface at neutral pH. However, the deletion of the C-terminal region of the protein changed the stability of its dimeric structure at acidic pH. The dissociation of the enzyme acidic, facilitated by the deletion of five amino acids from C-terminus, abolished the catalytic activity.

Yeast cytochrome c (cyt c) was modified at cysteine-102 with a thiol-specific spin label and its interaction with liposomes containing acidic phospholipids was studied by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. Association of cyt c with liposomes resulted in a significant reduction in the mobility of the spin label and a fraction of cyt c even seemed to be immobilized. Based on a large spectral change upon binding and the proximity of the spin-label to lysine-86 and -87, we propose these two residues to be the potential binding site at neutral pH. The interaction is electrostatic in nature because the spectral changes were reversed by addition of anions. Dissociation of the bound cyt c by anions, however, became less effective as the lipid/protein ratio increased. This suggests a repulsive lateral interaction among the bound cyt c. Unlabeled cyt c molecules added to preformed cyt c-liposome complex displaced the bound (spin labeled) cyt c and the process was competitive and reversible.

The reduction of Mo-thiocyanate (V) complex on dropping mercury electrode has been studied at ionic strength 0.6 with pH less than 2.3. D-C polarogram obtained from acidic solutions are reversible, diffusion controlled current. The electrode reaction of Mo-thiocyanate(V) may be represented as follows. $MoO(SCN)_3\;+\;2H^+\;+\;2e\;{\to}\;Mo(SCN)_2{^+}\;+\;H_2O\;+\;SCN^-$From this reaction, the half wave potential assumed to be $E_{1/2}\;=\;E_0'\;-\;0.059\;pH\;-\;0.03\;log{\;frac{[Mo(SCN)_2{^+}][SCN^-]}{[MoO(SCN)_3]}}$Considering the dissociation of this complex, however, it was estimated that the electrode reaction may be written by. $MoO^{+3}\;+\;3SCN^-\;+\;2H^+\;+\;2e\;{\to}\;Mo(SCN)_2{^+}\;+\;SCN^-\;+\;H_2O$.

The comparison soy protein coagulation by heat-and enzyme-treatment are summarized. The gelation mechanism of glycinin by heating was mainly due to dissociation and aggregation of the basic subunit of 11S globulin. In case of 7S globulin, macro-soluble aggregates may be formed by noncovalent intraction more than 30min at 8$0^{\circ}C$. Whereas, coagulum occured by the microbial enzyme was more minuter than the other Ca-, HCI-coagulum. Heat treatment attacked the basic subunit of 11S globulin and this results agreed very, how-ever, preferred acidic subunit to basic subunit of 11S globulin and attacked the 7S globulin, that could produce coagulum products within 4~5min at $65^{\circ}C$.

In this study, secondary antibody-containing quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) sensor chip was prepared and utilized for the detection of human and bovine haptoglobin. Anti-goat immunoglobulin G antibody, which is a secondary antibody capable of capturing primary antibodies raised in goat, was immobilized through the reaction between hydrazide and aldehyde group prepared on the QCM surface and antibody respectively. The resulting sensor chip showed higher stability in the repeated surface regeneration with acidic dissociation solution as well as requiring lower amount of primary antibody when compared to the protein G sensor chip. The secondary antibody sensor chip was applied for the estimation of bovine and human haptoglobin.

Soybean proteins appear to harbor a great deal of potential as functional ingredients due to the fact that they are composed of highly bioavailable peptides and amino acids. To develop drink- or gel-type foods formulated with soybean protein, the physicochemical properties of intact and chemically modified soy glycinin were assessed. Maleylation to soy glycinin altered the surface charges of glycinin via the modification of lysine residues, and subsequently generated the dissociation of glycinin subunits owing to the increase in charge repulsion. This modification thus improved the solubility of glycinin, particularly under acidic pH conditions. It is worthy of note that maleylation increased the susceptibility of the basic subunits of mTGase and the formation of a substantial quantity of molecules at a low protein solution concentration. The results of dynamic rheological studies indicated that the 5% intact glycinin progressively formed the gel with mTGase treatment in a concentration-dependent manner, but maleylated-glycinin did not.
