Photoluminiscent diamond nanoparticles - new diagnostic and visualization probes
Cígler, Petr
Selected problems connected with surface modification of nanosized diamond crystals, attachment of chemical sensing architectures to them and their colloidal stability were addressed. Fluorescent nanodiamonds modified by proper functional structures were shown as unique unbleachable nanoprobes for construction of future sensors useful in biological and medicinal applications.

ANALYSIS OF NON-ENZYMATIC POSTTRANSLATIONAL MODIFICATED (GLYCATED) ALBUMIN BY NANO-LC/MS/MS
Šťastná, Zdeňka ; Pataridis, Statis ; Sedláková, Pavla ; Mikšík, Ivan
Posttranslational modifications of proteins are important reactions, which significantly affect the function of proteins in the organism. In principle, they can be divided into enzymatic and non-enzymatic modifications. Non-enzymatic reactions include glycation (earlier called nonezymatic glycosylation), which plays an important role in the development of chronic complications of diabetes mellitus, uremia, in the process of aging and degeneration of the brain.This work deals with the study of glycated albumins (human serum albumin and bovine serum albumin). Methodologically we used nano-liquid chromatography coupled to Q-TOF mass spectrometer. In vitro modified proteins were cleavaged by trypsin and arising peptides were separated on C18 nano column with trap-column. Peptides and their modifications were analysed by high-resolution Q-TOF mass spectrometer MaXis with precision determination of mass below 2 ppm. We found some modifications of proteins. Besides well known carboxymethyllysine new ones were determined - create mass shift 78, 132 and 218. Origin of these modifications is discussed and possible structure is presented. All found modifications were allocated to the structure of proteins and reactivity to various oxo-compounds was also examined

Influence of the O-phosphorylation of serine, threonine and tyrosine in proteins on the amidic N-15 chemical shielding anisotropy tensors
Emmer, J. ; Vavrinská, A. ; Sychrovský, Vladimír ; Benda, Ladislav ; Kříž, Z. ; Koča, J. ; Boelens, R. ; Sklenář, V. ; Trantírek, L.
Density functional theory was employed to study the influence of O-phosphorylation of serine, threonine, and tyrosine on the amidic N-15 chemical shielding anisotropy (CSA) tensor in the context of the complex chemical environments of protein structures.

Sensor based on Förster resonance energy transfer with quantum dot
Lišková, Marcela ; Datinská, Vladimíra ; Klepárník, Karel ; Foret, František
Förster resonance energy transfers (FRET) are based on the nonradiative transfer of energy between a donor and acceptor dye in the distance 1-10 nm. With respect to this, quantum dots (QDs) with a high absorbance can serve as suitable donors of energy in FRET. Here, we present architectures of two sensors based on QD conjugates useful in imaging and diagnostics of cancer. One sensor, based on an oligonucleotide conjugate, can be used for the detection of complementary oligonucletide chains. The other was designed for the detection of enzymes inside cells.
