Nitrile hydrolysing enzymes: Fungal nitrilases
Vejvoda, Vojtěch ; Martínková, Ludmila (advisor) ; Wimmer, Zdeněk (referee) ; Vosáhlová, Simona (referee)
Charles University in Prague Faculty of Science Department of Biochemistry A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Nitrile-hydrolysing enzymes: Fungal nitrilases Mgr. Vojtěch Vejvoda Supervisor: Ing. Ludmila Martínková, CSc. Laboratory of Biotransformation, Institute of Microbiology, v.v.i. Academy of Sciences of the Czech Republic Consultant: Prof. RNDr. Karel Bezouška, DrSc. Faculty of Science, Department of Biochemistry, , Charles University in Prague Prague 2010 INTRODUCTION Nitriles are widespread in the environment - not only as the natural products of plants but also as the secondary metabolites of microorganisms or higher organisms. Synthetic nitriles and inorganic cyanides occur as pollutants from human activities (industrial wastes, herbicides, etc.). Both natural and man-made nitriles are poisonous to many organisms, the natural ones serving as a protection against enemies (e.g. herbivores). Their toxic activity is used in some herbicides. However, all of these compounds may exert negative effects on other beings living in the particular environment and create selection pressures, probably leading to the evolution of enzymes catalyzing the detoxification of nitriles, or, even better, utilizing them as the source of energy and nutrients. Nitrile-metabolizing enzymes are...

Cadastral documentation supersession in cadastral area Blansko
Martinková, Ludmila ; Sedláček, Svatopluk (referee) ; Berková, Alena (advisor)
Master´s thesis is about cadastral documentation supersession by revising in part of the cadastral territory Blansko. A cadastral map made by Instruction A is revised to concept of a digital cadastral map. Current status of the data file of geodetic and descriptive information from the cadastre information system and records detailed measurements of changes based in the documentation cadastral department Blansko are used. Planimetric coordinates of cadastral map in vector format were focused in the field for control. Thesis contain a comparison of size of parcels owned paper and the graphic file.

Seeking Novel Nitrilase Enzyme (Nitrile Aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.5.1)
Martínková, Ludmila ; Kaplan, Ondřej ; Veselá, Alicja Barbara
Our research group has created a library of novel nitrilases. In general, the enzymes are available from heterologous producers in amounts ranging from 10 to 20 mg of protein exhbiting 25-50 % purity. The enzymes differ from each other in substrate specificity, temperature optimum, enantioselectivity (arylacetonitrilases) etc. Preferential substrates are phenylacetonitrile, (R,S)-mandelonitrile, benzonitrile or cyanopyridines (depending on the enzyme).
