Abstract

V originále

INTRODUCTION Pseudomonas aeruginosa is an opportunistic human pathogen, a bacterium capable of attacking individuals with lowered immunity barriers. It is e.g. responsible for lethal complications in patients with cystic fibrosis. The PAIIL lectin (a C type fucose-preferring lectin with sugar binding mediated by two calcium ions), produced by the bacterium plays a crucial role in the host pathogen interaction. Similar lectin sequences were found in other bacteria, displaying distinct differences in preference despite only small differences in structure of binding site. In vitro and in silico mutants were constructed in order to analyze the principles driving the sugar preference. METHODS Molecular docking was performed using the AUTODOCK and DOCK software.

In Czech

Molekulove modelovani muze vyrazne napomoci v modelovani biomolekularnich interakci, zde napriklad lektin-sacharidove interakce podilejici se na patogenicite bakterie Pseudomonas aeruginosa, jakoz i slouzit coby efektivni prostredek predpovidani chovani systemu v zavislosti na provedenych mutacich, usnadnujic tak experimentatorum cestu k porozumeni dane interakce a zpusobu, jak ji ovlivnovat cilenym smerem.
