Research

Isolation and characterization of biologically important proteins, glycoproteins, peptides, glycopeptides, and glycolipides;

Conventional and enzymatic catalyzed synthesis of biological active peptides;

Photosensitizing and fluorescent dyes in red and far-red spectra region - synthesis and studies of their main properties as diagnostic and therapeutic agents;

Development of the so called photodynamic method, based on the photochemical processes, for inactivation of bacteria and viruses in clinical practice and ecology;

Fluorescent probes, based on the highly conjugated compounds, like phthalocyanines and derivatives, for study of the protein's structures;

Immobilization of biocatalysts, modification of natural oils and investigation of lipase inhibitors for medical and cosmetics purposes;

Isolation and purification of enzymes from microbial origin for nutrient and fodder purposes and cosmetics;

Preparation of technology for protein hydrolysates with designed properties for application in medicine and sport as food additives;

Application of fluorescent methods for determination of antioxidant activity of biological materials;

Production and characterization of novel materials (hemocyanins) for prevention of virus infection;

Evaluation of the antioxidant potential of natural objects by means of spectrophotometric and fluorometric methods. Investigation of the impact of the oxidative stress on the properties of connective tissue proteins. Modification of known methods for proving of dye substances and traces of leather in archaeological and museum objects for the purposes of the conservation analysis.
