Study on interactions of protonated aminoacids with low-molecular weight hyaluronan
Chlumská, Jana ; Kalina, Michal (referee) ; Chytil, Martin (advisor)
This bachelor thesis deals with interactions between hyaluronic acid (HA) of low molecular weight (110-130 kDa) and protonated aminoacids lysine and 6-aminocaproic acid. For investigation of these interactions, methods such as pH-metry, conductance measurement, viscometry and dynamic light scattering were used. The electrostacic interactions between carboxylic group of HA and the aminogroup of the aminoacids are presumed. Proving these interactions would allow us to physically modify HA and further more, using such a system as a carrier of pharmaceuticals. The interactions of protonated lysine with HA were studied in pure water or in the solution of NaCl (c = 15 mmol•dm-3). Interactions of 6-aminocaproic acid were studied only in pure water. Both aminoacids were in the concentration range 0.9-20 mmol•dm-3. The decrease in the viscosity of the solutions indicates the interactions for lysine; for 6-aminocaproic acid the interactions also occured, but not as signifciantly as for the system containing lysine.
