Bioinformatics Tool for Prediction of Protein Solubility
Hronský, Patrik ; Burgetová, Ivana (referee) ; Martínek, Tomáš (advisor)
This master's thesis addresses the solubility of recombinant proteins and its prediction. It describes the subject of protein synthesis, as well as the process of recombinant protein creation. Recombinant protein synthesis is of great importance for example to pharmacologic industry. This synthesis is not a simple task and it does not always produce viable proteins. Protein solubility is an important factor, determining the viability of the resulting proteins. It is of course favourable for companies, that take part in recombinant protein synthesis, to focus their effort and their resources on proteins, that will be viable in the end. In this regard, bioinformatics is of great help, as it is capable, with the help of machine learning, of predicting the solubility of proteins, for example based on their sequences. This thesis introduces the reader to the basic principles of machine learning and presents several machine learning methods, used in the field of protein solubility prediction. It deals with the definition of a dataset, which is later used to test selected predictors, as well as to train the ensemble predictor, which is the main focus of this thesis. It also focuses on several specific protein solubility predictors and explains the basic principles upon which they are built, as well as the results of their testing. In the end, it presents the ensemble predictor of protein solubility.
Geometry of protein moleculs
Novotný, Jan ; Maděránková, Denisa (referee) ; Škutková, Helena (advisor)
Objective of this work was to study the spatial arrangement of protein molecules, with their extraction, notations and variables used in the course descriptions. Prediction of protein structures is very important for determining the future function of proteins. Another objective was to create a function in MATLAB that will graphically represent the spatial arrangement of the backbone structure of the protein by form Ramachandran plot. Along with this function create another function to render the side-chains of amino acids and function to calculate the stereochemical quality. Finally, create a program for a complete assessment of the spatial arrangement of the protein molecules and calculating the stereochemical quality of and test program for protein structures from public databases RSCB PDB.

The final result is s web application as the education system.
Clustering of Protein Sequences Based on Primary Structure of Proteins
Jurásek, Petr ; Stryka, Lukáš (referee) ; Burgetová, Ivana (advisor)
This master's thesis consider clustering of protein sequences based on primary structure of proteins. Studies the protein sequences from they primary structure. Describes methods for similarities in the amino acid sequences of proteins, cluster analysis and clustering algorithms. This thesis presents concept of distance function based on similarity of protein sequences and implements clustering algorithms ANGES, k-means, k-medoids in Python programming language.
Techniques for Comparing Biological Sequences
Sladký, Roman ; Křivka, Zbyněk (referee) ; Burgetová, Ivana (advisor)
This work presents the building up of basic biological units DNA, RNA and proteins as well as their function. Provided data are kept in biological databases which are connected worldwide to supply preferable communication along with all kinds of available information to be used in the scientific research. The secret of alive is hidden in genes coded in sequences of nucleotides. Genes enable the creation of proteins which are made of sequences of amino-acids. The wide-spread methods of comparing these sequences are FASTA and BLAST algorithms. Their base is used for the PSProt program which is described in this work. PSProt program is the tool for comparing the sequences of proteins. First it is necessary to synthesise the protein from the DNA oligonucleotide because it codes the surveyed protein. The most similar proteins are searched out by heuristic of hitpoints, then their final score that is essential for aligning is modified by semiglobal alignment algorithm.
The use of microcalorimetric methods in the study of the protective effects of chemical chaperons
Bohunská, Miroslava ; Pekař, Miloslav (referee) ; Krouská, Jitka (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with the study of protective substances against denaturation processes, called chemical chaperones. The theoretical part describes the general characteristics of proteins, description of selected chaperones and methods of differential scanning calorimetry. In the experimental part, the protective effects of four potential protective agents - trehalose, guanidine hydrochloride, 3-hydroxybutyrate and hydroxyectoine - were investigated on the lysozyme model protein. The protective effects of the individual substances were examined by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which determined the denaturation temperature of lysozyme in the presence of preservatives. Of all the chemical chaperones examined, the highest protective effect was observed with 3-hydroxybutyrate, which shifted the denaturation temperature to higher levels, and guanidine hydrochloride, which on the other hand lowered the denaturation temperature. At the same time, a reversible denaturation process was found in some substances, which was the most intense in GuHCl.
Prediction of the Effect of Nucleotide Substitution Using Machine Learning
Šalanda, Ondřej ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Bendl, Jaroslav (advisor)
This thesis brings a new approach to the prediction of the effect of nucleotide polymorphism on human genome. The main goal is to create a new meta-classifier, which combines predictions of several already implemented software classifiers. The novelty of developed tool lies in using machine learning methods to find consensus over those tools, that would enhance accuracy and versatility of prediction. Final experiments show, that compared to the best integrated tool, the meta-classifier increases the area under ROC curve by 3,4 in average and normalized accuracy is improved by up to 7\,\%. The new classifying service is available at http://ll06.sci.muni.cz:6232/snpeffect/.

Characterization of Rhodosporidium toruloides proteome using LC-MS/MS
Bruštík, David ; Szotkowski, Martin (referee) ; Zdráhal, Zbyněk (advisor)
Characterization of differentially regulated proteins is crucial for the identification of metabolic pathways and their understanding in connection with the creation of important products of a selected strain of yeast. This diploma thesis focuses on the proteome analysis of the Rhodosporidium toruloides cultivated under different conditions. The metabolism of these yeasts with the characteristics of important metabolites is described in the theoretical part. The next part of the thesis is focused on proteomic approaches and bottom-up proteomics from the sample preparation to mass spectrometry analysis. The experimental part deals with the cultivation of yeast at different C/N ratios, next the isolation and determination of proteins using the FASP method, which includes proteolytic cleavage by trypsin, LC-MS/MS analysis and the database search.
Multi-Agent System for the Prediction of the Effect of Mutations on Protein Stability
Doseděl, Ondřej ; Martínek, Tomáš (referee) ; Musil, Miloš (advisor)
Proteiny jsou základním stavebním blokem všech žijících organismů, kde jsou zodpovědné za mnoho důležitých procesů. Jsou složeny z řetězců  aminokyselin. Tyto řetězce mohou být jakkoliv změněné. Tomuto procesu se říká mutace a může být samovolná nebo indukovaná v laboratoři. Cílem této práce bylo vytvoření nových modelů pro určení stability proteinů. Skládá se ze dvou modelů. První model je multi-agentní systém pro klasifikaci stability proteinů. Nejlepší multi-agentní systém získal přesnost 0.7 a 0.41 MCC. Druhá část se~zabývala predikcí konkrétních hodnot G, kde byl vytvořený Extreme Gradient Boosting model, který získal 1.67 RMSE a 0.53 PCC. Součástí této práce byly představené 2 datasety, které jsou na sobě plně nezávislé, použitelné pro trénování a validaci modelů.
