Analysis of plant membrane lipids by RP-HPLC/HR-ESI-MS
Zábranská, Marie ; Vrkoslav, Vladimír ; Cvačka, Josef
Monogalactosyldiacylglycerols (MGDGs) and digalactosyldiacylglycerols (DGDGs) are glycolipids forming the major part of biological membranes in photosynthesizing organisms. The individual species differ from fatty acids linked to sn-1 and sn-2 possition on glycerol backbone. Complexity of their mixtures is increased by enzymatic or chemical oxidation of unsaturated species. The aim of this work was to develop and optimize RP-HPLC/HR-ESI-MS2 methods for analysis of oxidized and non-oxidized MGDGs and DGDGs in plant samples. MGDGs and DGDGs were isolated from Arabidopsis thaliana and Melissa officinalis.

New peptides with antimicrobial activity isolated from the venom of the bumblebee Bombus pascuorum (Hymenoptera: Apidae)
Ježek, Rudolf ; Janechová, D. ; Cvačka, Josef ; Slaninová, Jiřina ; Voburka, Zdeněk ; Hovorka, Oldřich ; Fučík, Vladimír ; Borovičková, Lenka ; Maloň, Petr ; Čeřovský, Václav
Six new heptadecapeptides were isolated and synthesized by standard Fmoc solid phase peptide synthesistogether with several structural analogues. Antimicrobial activities were correlated with the peptides hydrophobicity, hydrophobic moment, alpha-helicity and HPLC retention time.
