There are laboratory building, diving complex, ships and boats, dwelling houses Located on the coast of picturesque Bay of Troitsa (Trinity Bay) in 100 km to the south of Vladivostok Was founded in 1967

Over 500 new biologically active compounds, including 2-3% of total number of presently known marine natural products were isolated and studied in Institute. The peculiarities of their biogenesis, biological effects, and taxonomical distribution were investigated Over 500 new biologically active compounds, including 2-3% of total number of presently known marine natural products were isolated and studied in Institute. The peculiarities of their biogenesis, biological effects, and taxonomical distribution were investigated

About 200 new biologically active compounds were isolated from different plants. Their biological effects, chemical properties, and possibilities of using as chemotaxonomic markers in higher plants systematics were studied.

So, endo-1,3- -D-glucanases of marine organisms, found at first as hydrolases, catalyze three reactions running simultaneously and practically with almost equal efficiency.

These fractions designated as Antivir" andTranslam are the products of the prominent glucanosyl transferase ability of the enzyme and its ability to catalyze synthesis not only -1 3-, but also -1 6-glucosyl links.

Translam and Antivir are the first biologically active polysaccharides obtained by enzymic synthesis. Preclinic trials of translam as medicine for acute radiation sickness are being finished. Translam belongs to rare medicines possessing postradiation effect. So, its injection to monkeys, irradiated with dose close to lethal one, protect about 60% of them against radiation.
