Computational Study on Lectin-Carbohydrate Complexes
Abstract:
Dizertační práce je zaměřena na studium interakcí mezi lektiny a cukry. Práce se detailněji zaměřila na lektin II (PAII-L) z bakterie Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Tato baktérie je vysoce toxická a je o ní známo, že se kolonizuje v biofilmech, na jejichž tvorbě se lektin podílí. Pro pochopení vazebné afinity fukosy, mannosy, galaktosy, glukosy, arabinosy a jejich methylovaných derivátů k PAII-L bylo provedeno …more
Abstract:
The dissertation thesis presented here is focused on study of lectin-carbohydrate interactions. The study has been carried out on Pseudomonas aeruginosa lectin-II (PA-IIL). This bacterium is highly toxic and it is know that the lectin participates in the toxicity by formation of biofilms. Molecular simulations have been performed to observe the consequences of PA-IIL lectin affinity towards fucose …more
