Dundáček, Jan ; Janák, Vladimír (advisor) ; Křížek, Tomáš (referee)
Title: The club development of american football in the Czech Republic In the first part of this thesis American football is introduced, explaining basic game principles and describing the game so that the reader can imagine what the sport is all about. The second part then focuses on examining the emergence of particular American football clubs in the Czech Republic. The whole period is divided into several stages, with a strong focus on finding a common denominator of individual events. The aim is to map American football in the Czech Republic since the establishment of the first club up to the present with emphasis on main themes and key periods. Recording individual events from the perspective of history is an important element for any future research. Keywords: American football, development, club, origin, history, Czech Republic

Determination of enzyme activity of cellobiase using capillary electrophoresis
Velvarská, Romana ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kubíčková, Anna (referee)
This thesis deals with optimization of capillary electrophoresis conditions for the separation of unreacted substrate and products (cellobiose, glucose) generated by the enzymatic cleavage of cellotriose with enzyme cellobiase. The optimal separation electrolyte was shown to be a solution containing 30 mmol·dm-3 sodium hydroxide with addition of 1.0 mmol·dm-3 sodium phosphate and 1.0 mmol·dm-3 sodium phosphate dibasic (pH = 12.38). With this separation electrolyte calibration curves and repeatability were measured and the limits of detection and quantification were determined. The relative standard deviations of peak areas ranged up to 6.1 % and they did not exceed 0.2 % for the migration time. Limits of detection were determined in the range from 0.020 to 0.026 mmol·dm-3 and limits of quantification from 0.066 mmol·dm-3 to 0.085 mmol·dm-3 . Subsequently the enzyme reaction was monitored in offline setup. Furthermore, the offline procedure was automated and the relative standard deviation of cellodextrines after 30 minutes of hydrolysis was ranging up to 13.0 % of glucose and cellotriose and 3.0 % cellobiose using this automated method, which makes it suitable for semiquantitative and comparative measurements. The last part of the experiment was to carry out enzymatic reaction in online setup....

Electrophoretic determination of organic acids in industrial solutions
Taraba, Lukáš ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sobotníková, Jana (referee)
This work deals with the development and optimization of conditions of pretreatment of two industrial surface finishing baths containing chromium(III) ions and oxalic, maleic, acetic or citric acid and their electrophoretic analysis. Some model mixtures containing known amounts of components of industrial solutions have been made for simulation of complex matrices of the real samples. Prior to analysis a sample pre-treatment consisting of different dilution and addition of fluoride, hydroxide or EDTA anions as suitable agent releasing acid out of the stable chromium complex were studied. Determination of organic anions was accomplished by indirect UV detection at 350 nm with a reference at 230 nm. A commercially available background electrolyte, pH 5.7, was used for separation of analytes. The most appropriate pre-treatment to release acids have been achieved by precipitation of chromium(III) hydroxide. The method of standard additions was used for the quantification. The concentrations of oxalate and citrate in the real samples were calculated as 96,50 % (S.D. = 0,71 %) and 97,53 % (S.D. = 0,79 %), respectively, of declared amount. Satisfactory repeatabilities were obtained for both analytes with R.S.D. values (n = 5) for migration times lower than 0,51 %, R.S.D. for peak areas of oxalic acid were...

Comparison of contactless conductivity detection and direct UV detection sensitivity for electrophoretic determination of N-acetylaminosaccharides
Malý, Michal ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Kozlík, Petr (referee)
is work deals with development and optimization of a method for separation and detection of N- acetylglucosamine and its dimer and trimer using capillary zone electrophoresis with contactless conductiv- ity detection. Separation and detection of these substances is possible if sodium hydroxide is used as back- ground electrolyte. Usage of another electrolyte such as disodium phosphate leads to unacceptable baseline noise level. Optimal conditions of this method are a background electrolyte concentration of 40 mmol dm−3 and voltage of 15 kV. e method is very sensitive to background electrolyte pH, used background electrolyte also causes rapid degradation of the inner capillary wall which is why this method has proven difficult to cali- brate properly. e developed method was compared to an already existing method which uses UV detection. e existing method has lower limits of detection and quantification and is less sensitive to working condi- tions. Limits of detection and quantification of the developed method are 34 µmol dm−3 and 104 µmol dm−3 respectively. Limits of detection and quantification of the method based on UV detection are 7 µmol dm−3 and 21 µmol dm−3 respectively. Limits of quantification are that of the analyte whose detection was the least sensitive which was the dimer in both...

Mobilization of electroosmotic flow markers in capillary electrophoresis
Martínková, Eva ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Sobotníková, Jana (referee)
Capillary zone electrophoresis is a separation method used to separate charged substances in electric field. Substances migrate to detector due to their own electrophoretic mobility and electoosmotic flow in capillary. Separation is possible because of electroforetic mobility of substances, which is directly proportional to the charge and undirectly proportional to the hydrated radius of ion. This means that neutral molecules form just one neutral zone, which is detected together. Well absorbing neutral substances are thus used as markers of average (mean) EOF. It was found, that some of the markers have dispositions to be mobilized with respect to the EOF. This mobilization is caused by interactions of free electron pair on atoms of nitrogen or oxygen of marker with components of background buffer. The aim of the study was to measure mobilization of some commonly used markers with different cations of acetate buffer and thus find "ideal" marker, whose mobility is almost the same as EOF and find combinations of marker+buffer, which are better to be avoided. Eleven markers in combination with six cations of background electrolyte were studied. We have found, that relative mobilities of some of chosen markers come up to five percent of limit mobilities of small inorganic cations. An appropriate...

Characterization of self-assembling molecules and their application in capillary electrophoresis
Hodek, Ondřej ; Křížek, Tomáš (advisor) ; Čabala, Radomír (referee)
This diploma thesis deals with application of newly synthesized α-cyclodextrins derivatives, 2I -O-cinnamyl-α-cyclodextrin and 3I -O-cinnamyl-α-cyclodextrin, in capillary electrophoresis. Their unique feature lies in formation of cyclodextrin aggregates in an aqueous solution by inclusion of phenyl moiety of one molecule into cavity of another one. The influence of addition of 2I -O-cinnamyl-α-CD and 3I -O-cinnamyl-α-CD to background electrolyte (BGE) and its impact on effective mobilities of eighteen selected analytes were tested. Nine analytes were measured in the form of cations (aniline, antipyrine, L-histidine, D,L-tyrosine, D,L- phenylalanine, N-(1-naphtyl)ethylenediamine, 4-nitroaniline, p-aminoaceto-phenon and tyramine) and nine in the form of anions (N-acetyl-D,L-phenylalanine, N-acetyl-D,L-tryptophan, N-benzoyl-D,L-phenylalanine, N-boc-D,L-tryptophan, N-FMOC-D,L-valine, N-FMOC-alanine, N-FMOC-D,L-leucine, D,L-3-phenyllactic acid and (R)-(-)-mandelic acid). Electrophoretic mobilities of cations were tested in BGE at pH 2.2 and anions at pH 8.0. The measurements were conducted at 25 and 50 řC. At the beginning the buffer containing 2.5 mM TRIS was adjusted with phosphoric acid to pH 2.2. However, it was found, that phosphate anions might enter cyclodextrin cavity and disable potential...

Applications of capillary electrophoresis in life sciences
Křížek, Tomáš
Tomáš Křížek: Applications of Capillary Electrophoresis in Life Sciences (Dissertation thesis) ABSTRACT This thesis is focused on the applications of capillary electrophoresis in two important areas of life sciences, proteomics and enzyme assays. In the first part, Pluronic F-127 copolymer was studied as a sieving matrix for proteomic applications of capillary gel electrophoresis. The effect of thermoassociation of Pluronic F-127 on the separation selectivity was investigated and no difference in selectivity of the separation below, inside and above the thermoassociation temperature region was observed. The performance of Pluronic F-127 in capillary gel electrophoresis was compared with dextran as a commonly used sieving matrix. The results showed, that Pluronic F-127 offers superior performance for low-molecular-mass proteins because it provides higher separation power than dextran with significantly lower viscosity of the background electrolyte. The lower viscosity makes the polymer easier to replace after each analysis, which leads to remarkably higher repeatability of the experiments. On the other hand, dextran, due to its higher viscosity, was shown to be more convenient for separations of protein digests, where extremely high separation efficiency is required. The second part focuses on...

Determination of limiting electrophoretic mobilities of charged cyclodextrins
Boublík, Milan ; Riesová, Martina (advisor) ; Křížek, Tomáš (referee)
In the frame of this work, dependences of electrophoretic mobilities of four defined multiple charged cyclodextrins on ionic strength of background electrolyte were measured using capillary zone electrophoresis. Dependencies of mobility on ionic strength do not follow Onsager law in the case of large and multiple charged species. Therefore, empirical fitting function was used to determine limiting mobilities of studied cyclodextrins. Obtained values of limiting mobilities as well as the resulting regression function are essential for correct determination of complexation constants of corresponding cyclodextrins with various analytes.
