Abstract: Disclosed is an anti-obesity active extract obtained from a medicinal plant. More specifically, the extract obtained from lysimachiae foenum-graeci herba (which is a medicinal plant traditionally used in the East) can be used as an active ingredient for a raw material, a functional food, cosmetic, a crude drug, etc. for an obesity preventing or therapeutic agent because the extract can suppress the adipocyte differentiation and decrease the body weight and body fat in an obese animal, thereby suppressing fat accumulation (that is, a factor for obesity).

Abstract: Disclosed are mutated genes for green fluorescence proteins and enhanced inserted YFPs expressed therefrom. The mutant proteins not only maintain their fluorescence even at 37° C., but also exhibit about 20 times stronger fluorescence intensities in comparison to the conventional fluorescence proteins. Accordingly, the mutant fluorescence proteins of the present invention can be used as biosensors for detecting and analyzing the bioactivities of desired materials.
