Protein calculator
Sedlo, Petr ; Maděránková, Denisa (referee) ; Škutková, Helena (advisor)
This work is focussed on studying and analysis of protein qualities while using experimental methods which are next confronted with numerical analysis, which have been introduced by the expansion in computer engineering. Within that task I built up a program for calculation of isoelectric point and molecular mass of an entered chain of amino acids. The program will draw a graph of pH dependance of molecular charge in the wide range of pH values in accordance with the given criteria. We can gain results very quickly and easily in this way, however, these results are just a rough estimate. We´re assumed to be aware of this fact because incorrect use of that program where exact analysis is required would cause errors.

Characterization of adsorption properties of probiotic bacteria
Černá, Klára ; Sedláček, Petr (referee) ; Obruča, Stanislav (advisor)
The aim of the diploma thesis is to characterize the adsorption properties of probiotic bacteria. Characterization was performed using of designed and optimized spectrophotometric method of determination of adhesion of probiotic bacteria to mucin as the main viscoelastic component of mucus. In order to provide a more detailed description of the adhesion interactions involved in the adhesion of probiotic bacteria to mucin, the viability of selected probiotic bacterial strains Lactobacillus rhamnosus CCM 1825, Lactobacillus plantarum CCM 7039, Lactobacillus delbrueckii subsp. bulgaricus CCM 7190, Lactobacillus acidophilus CCM 4833, Lactobacillus casei CCM 4798, Bifidobacterium breve CCM 7825, Bacillus coagulans CCM 2658 and a potential probiotic strain of Lactobacillus zeae CCM 7069. Moreover, bacterial adhesion to carbohydrates was also determined for all the bacteria tested. The last proposed and optimized technique was dynamic and electrophoretic light scattering characterizing surface properties such as -potential, average size distribution and isoelectric point. From this method, information was obtained on aggregation of bacterial cells and on electrostatic interactions. The combination of these methods was used as a complex tool to characterize adhesion of the tested bacterial cultures as a very specific, sensitive and key parameter of a successful probiotic microorganism that is influence by the multiple effects.

The Determination and Comparison of the Electromigration Properties of Markers for Isoelectric Focusing
Lorinčíková, Kateřina ; Gaš, Bohuslav (advisor) ; Kašička, Václav (referee)
The dependencies of electrophoretic mobility on pH were measured for a set of 14 markers used for isoelectric focusing that were developed by the group of Šlais and that are based on substitutions on the nitrophenol core, and for a kit consisting of 5 pI markers developed by Shimura, which have an oligopeptide structure. The dissociation constants and limiting electrophoretic mobilities of these compounds were obtained from the dependencies with the use of the program AnglerFish. The isoelectric point values of the compounds were consequently calculated using the obtained data. A comparison of the obtained pI values with the values that have been declared in literature, albeit gained by different analytical methods, has been made. Key Words capillary zone electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing, pI markers, isoelectric point, thermodynamic dissociation constant, limiting ionic mobility
