Evaluation of the 33 synthesized nitrophenol-based markers of isoelectic point
Duša, Filip ; Moravcová, Dana ; Šlais, Karel
33 nitrophenol-based compounds, which absorb at ultraviolet as well as visible wavelengths, were selected as candidates for marking isoelectric points (pI) over the pH range from 3 to 10. The evaluation and selection of the candidate structures included structure-based calculations of acid-base properties. The selected compounds were further tested experimentally using capillary isoelectric focusing. The experimental analysis excluded two compounds due to producing double peaks during the analysis. Overall, 31 novel compounds were identified as suitable pI markers.

Identification of nosocomial infection by electrophoretic techniques
Kubesová, Anna ; Moravcová, Dana ; Tesařová, Marie ; Horká, Marie
The detection and identification of pathogens currently relies upon a very diverse range of techniques and skills, from traditional culturing and taxonomic procedures to modern molecular biology based methods. However, conventional laboratory methods are time consuming, laborious, and they may provide both false positive or negative results, especially for closely related microorganisms. In this study, we suggest capillary electrophoresis techniques for differentiation and characterization of Methicillin-resistant and Methicillin-susceptible Staphylococcus aureus.

IEF and HPLC-based methods for efficient bacterial characterization
Kubesová, Anna ; Šalplachta, Jiří ; Moravcová, Dana ; Horká, Marie
Pectobacterium and Dickeya species are responsible for blackleg and tuber soft rot diseases on crop and ornamental plants. Recently, a more virulent and aggressive Dickeya type of E. chrysanthemi was described and it becomes serious problem for potato production in Europe. In this study, we suggest procedures using two commonly available laboratory techniques, gel isoelectric focusing and liquid chromatography, for differentiation and characterization of Pectobacterium and Dickeya species. We have confirmed that fingerprinting approach can be used for bacterial differentiation, which can be further used in rapid diagnosis of plant disease.

Silica-based monolithic capillary columns modified to zwitterionic stationary phase for hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography
Moravcová, Dana ; Planeta, Josef ; Kahle, Vladislav ; Horká, Marie ; Roth, Michal
Zwitterionic monolithic capillary columns intended for isocratic gradient hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) separations are introduced. Silica-based capillary columns (150 mm x 0.1 mm) were prepared by acidic hydrolysis of tetramethoxysilane in the presence of polyethylene glycol and urea. The modification by a 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate and then by a zwitterionic [2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium hydroxide to HILIC stationary phase bearing sulfoalkylbetaine groups on its surface followed. Prepared columns were characterized in HILIC separation mode employing mobile phase containing 10% (v/v) of 5 mM ammonium acetate pH = 4.5 in acetonitrile. Comparison with the commercially available ZIC-HILIC® column (Merck SeQuant®) under the same separation conditions using a mixture of aromatic carboxylic acids as a sample was done on the basis of separation efficiency of tested columns as well as retention factors and peak asymmetry of individual solutes.
