Study of interactions of hyaluronan-amino acids
Jugl, Adam ; Smilek, Jiří (referee) ; Hurčíková, Andrea (advisor)
The master´s thesis deals with the study of the interaction between the polysaccharide hyaluronan of diffrerent molecular weights with the amino acids arginine, lysine, arginine hydrochloride and 6-aminocaproic acid. They are expected interaction between carboxyl groups of hyaluronan and amino groups of amino acids. These interactions were investigated by using ultrasonic spectroscopy, DLS, measuring pH and conductivity. Obtained results were compared with sodium polystyrene sulfonate. With ultrasonic spectroscopy was observed a change of concentration inkrement for titration of amino acid to water or polymers solutions especially for high molecular weight hyaluronan and for NaPSS in combination with 6AKK in concentration range of added amino acid 0–30 mM. The size of this change could mean a degree of interaction between polymers and amino acids. This theory has not been confirmed by other methods. By pH and conductivity measurements interations between arginine and low molecular weight hyaluronan and NaPSS were only confirmed. There was no possibility to make unequivocal conclusions from determination of particle size and zeta potential by DLS. Overall, the issue of the interaction of amino acids with polyanions was proved above expectations complex and will be appropriate to further expand the observations made in this thesis.
Characterization of medical biopolymers by ultrasound spectroscopy
Jugl, Adam ; Krouská, Jitka (referee) ; Hurčíková, Andrea (advisor)
Using high resolution ultrasonic spectroscopy has been investigated hyaluron solutions of various molecules weights depending on their concentration and solution temperature. Furhermore, the influence of ionic strenght on the properties of solutions by dissolving hyaluronan in 0.15 M aqueous solution of sodium chloride. For comparison the properties of the hyaluronan solutions were compared with aqueous solutions of carrageenan. It was found that hyaluronan in solution behaves the same, regardless of the weight, temperature and concentration.
