Study of effect of side chains of organic semiconductors for bioelectronic applications
Ivanová, Lucia ; Cigánek, Martin (referee) ; Krajčovič, Jozef (advisor)
Organic bioelectronics is a relatively young but perspective science discipline that introduces the applicability of organic electronic materials in bioelectronic devices. The promising outlook for using these applications ranges from improving the quality of the disabled people's life to the development of artificial intelligence. The theoretical part describes the essential properties of semiconducting polymers for the utilization in bioelectronics and, moreover, it presents a way of improving these properties by the proper implementation of the side chains. It deals with the possibility of optimizing the biomimetic properties of conjugated polymers by using bio-inspired molecules as peripheral chains, specifically nucleic bases. The nucleobase groups introduced onto the polymer chain thus provide the synthetic molecules with the ability of self-assembly and recognition of each other. The second part of the thesis focuses on the modification of the adenine molecule, with the preparation of the key intermediate for Stille coupling. Subsequent cross-coupling reaction results in the extension of the adenine’s -conjugated system with the thiophene molecule.

Detekce nukleových bazí pomocí kapilární elektroforézy
Hendrychová, Kateřina
Capillary electrophoresis (CE) is one of the most important techniques used for high-throughput separations in modern analytical chemistry. Its main advantages include the possibility of using different detection techniques, speed and efficiency of separation as well as reproducibility. These properties are used in the separation of a wide variety of analytes ranging from inorganic ions to nanoparticles and were also verified in this work, in which the basic building blocks of DNA and RNA, nucleic bases, which serve as biomarkers for many disorders, diseases and food safety, were measured using capillary electrophoresis with a UV detector. The bachelor thesis is focused on the development and optimization of a method to detect and separate 5 nucleobases and purine. The separation was achieved by using 40 mM borate buffer pH 9,8 with the addition of 60 mM SDS as a detergent which forms micelles.

Formation of nucleobases from formamide initiated by high-power density energy events
Michalčíková, Regina ; Civiš, Svatopluk (advisor) ; Šponerová, Judit E. (referee)
This Master's thesis deals with determination of nucleobases in formamide samples (pure or catalyzed form) after their initiation by high-power density energy events. The theoretical part states the reader to the problems of prebiotic chemistry and acquaints him with the various theories of the origin of the nucleobases. The experimental part deals with the analysis of the samples initiated by Laser System PALS, which was used for the simulation high-power density energy events. For the identification and determination of the final products of laser plasma initiated chemical reactions in the gaseous phase of the samples was used the Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy. The liquid part of the samples and the nucleobases in this part were analyzed by the gas chromatography with the mass detection.

Study of cyclization of tetrazolopyrimidines for synthesis of tricyclic nucleobases
Grúlová, Kristýna ; Hocek, Michal (advisor) ; Smrček, Stanislav (referee)
This bachelor thesis describes a study of cyclization reaction of substituted tetrazolopyrimidines, which were obtained by a three-step synthesis starting from 4,6-dichloropyrimidine, which was first zincated and then submitted to Negishi coupling with corresponding heteroaryl iodide followed by nucleophilic substitution with sodium azide. The previously known unexpected fluorescent product produced by the cyclization of the 2-thiophenyl derivative was resynthesized. An analogous product was obtained by cyclization of the 3-thiophenyl derivative. In contrast, the cyclization of the phenyl, 1-naphthyl and 2-furyl derivatives gave the expected tricyclic product resulting from the cyclization of the azide. Key words: heterocycles, cyclizations, nucleobases
