Fluorescence labeling of polysaccharides
Mrázová, Viktória ; Venerová, Tereza (oponent) ; Mravec, Filip (vedoucí práce)
This bachelor’s dissertation deals with the study of fluorescence-marked polysaccharides. The aim of this project was to develop and define fluorescence-marked dextran, chitosan, hyaluronan, and their derivatives. These substances were developed by binding a fluorescent marker and a polysaccharide through covalent bonding. First, we developed samples of a polysaccharide that were marked with a fluorophore. For utilising this method, we considered suitable the following combinations: FITC+ dextran, FITC+ chitosan, and fluorescein amine+ hyaluronan. Following this, we defined these samples using a fluorescence spectrometer, which allowed us to measure the fluorescence properties of the derivatives of the selected marked polysaccharides. Using this measuring method, we found that a covalent bond does occur between the fluorescent marker and the polysaccharides. Finally, we compared the economic cost of developing these substances, as opposed to buying them commercially.
