On the project

Zrealizujeme extrémně rychlý miniaturní systém pro diferenční skenovací fluorimetrii (DSF). V navrženém systému na čipu vzorek o objemu menším než nanolitr poteče kapilárou s teplotním gradientem. Bílkovina označená fluorescenční značkou se při určité teplotě rozbalí a podle polohy v kapiláře, kde k rozbalení došlo, bude určena i teplota potřebná k rozbalení. Jeden z cílů je vytvořit extrémně rychlou DSF , která bude schopna provést test pod 1 sekundu. Tato metoda je velmi slibná pro rychlé testování a genetická studia. Systém a metoda bude nejprve testována a optimalizována pomocí teploty tání DNA v přítomnosti SYBG-Green I. Bude-li metoda s DNA fungovat budou ověřeny testy s bílkovinami. Bílkoviny budou postupně ohřáty a budeme detekovat změnu teploty jejich rozbalení v důsledku přítomnosti léků, léků, čímž se prokáže vliv léků na stabilitu bílkovin.

Description in English
We will develop an ultrafast miniature system for differential scanning fluorimetry (DFS). The sample with volume below 1 nL will flow through the fabricated microfluidic device inside a capillary with temperature gradient. Fluorescent labeled protein will unfold at certain temperature and based on the location inside the capillary we will be able to determine temperature required for protein unfolding. We will design a system capable of performing this test in less than 1 s. This method is promising for rapid testing as well as genetic studies. First we will test this method using double stranded DNA in presence of SYBR Green I. Once this testing is successfully completed we will verify it with proteins. Proteins will be gradually warmed up and we will detect their unfolding temperature in presence of drugs to determine their influence on protein stability.
