Title: Production of mouse recombinant prion protein and analysis of its properties Author: Anna Krejčiříková Department: Department of Biochemistry Supervisor: doc. RNDr. Jan Konvalinka, CSc., Supervisor's e-mail: konval@uochb.cas.cz Consultant: dr. Ing. Karel Holada, IIM 1stFM CU Abstract: Although prion diseases represent only a small fraction of all known neurodegenra- tive illnesses, they deserve our attention mainly due to the fact that they are lethal, incurable by today, and having a potential to cause a serious epidemic. Even though this topic has been studied for many years, there are still many unanswered questions concerning both the mechanism, and the spread of prion diseases. The most promising current theory is the protein-only hypothesis, which explains the fundamental of the ill- ness by the conversion of cellular prion protein (PrPC ) into pathological prion protein (PrPSc ). The important tool in proving this theory is also a recombinant prion pro- tein. The presented thesis summarizes existing successes in the proving of protein-only hypothesis. In the experimental part, we prepared the mouse recombinant prion pro- tein (mrPrP) in E. coli bacteria. The structure of the purified and renaturated protein was verified by CD spectroscopy. Next, we focus on the effects of the...

Thermodynamic Limits for Dehalogenation of Producer Gas by Na2CO3, NaAlO2, CaO/CaCO3, BaO/BaCO3 and Mixed CaO-BaO/BaCO3 Sorbents.

Our study is focused on thermodynamic analyses and minimization of Gibbs energy for gas de-halogenation (removal of HCl, HF and HBr) by selected solid sorbents (Na2CO3, NaAlO2, CaO/CaCO3, BaO/BaCO3, and mixtures containing CaO-BaO/BaCO3).
