Prion Diseases - a role of transition metal ions
Malová, Zuzana ; Lukeš, Ivan (advisor) ; Moško, Tibor (referee)
Prion diseases are widely spread diseases among mammalians. They are characterized by a change of prion protein structure PrPC (cellular, native state) to PrPSc (scrapie, structure typical for prion diseases). It is a change at secondary structure of protein from α-helical to β-sheet structure, which aggregates in brain. One possibility, why it happens is higher transitional metal ions concentration (Zn(II), Cu(II), Fe(III)) in the brain, which bind to PrPC and affects its structure. Aim of this thesis is a synthesis one of protentional drugs based on 2-aminothiazole and its modification to bind fluorescent or radiochemical markers and in future study of its possible interaction with transition metal ions. Key words: complexes; macrocyclic ligands; copper; prion diseases
