    Rekonstrukce nemovitostí je komplexní a nákladnou záležitostí. Z hlediska investičního hraje velmi důležitou roli ekonomický aspekt (nákladnost a následné výnosy), s čímž úzce souvisí účel užívání, umístění a stav objektu. Nemovitost řešená v této práci je řadový rodinný dům rozdělený na 3 bytové jednotky. Byly vypracovány 2 varianty rekonstrukcí rozdělené podle jejich rozsahu. K posouzení návratnosti investice do nemovitosti bylo použito standardních tržních ukazatelů – nákladový, porovnávací a výnosový způsob a dále byla oceněna dle oceňovacího předpisu.Real estate renovation is a complex and expensive affair. From the investment point of view, the economic aspect (cost and subsequent revenues) plays a very important role, which is closely related to the purpose of use, location and condition of the building. The property solved in this work is a terraced family house divided into 3 residential units. Two variants of reconstructions were developed, divided according to their scope. To assess the return on investment in real estate, standard market indicators were used - cost, comparative and revenue methods and was further valued according to the valuation regulation.

    Guanine tetraplex topology of human telomere DNA is governed by the number of (TTAGGG) repeats

    Secondary structures of the G-rich strand of human telomere DNA fragments G(3)(TTAG(3))(n), n = 1–16, have been studied by means of circular dichroism spectroscopy and PAGE, in solutions of physiological potassium cation concentrations. It has been found that folding of these fragments into tetraplexes as well as tetraplex thermostabilities and enthalpy values depend on the number of TTAG(3) repeats. The suggested topologies include, e.g. antiparallel and parallel bimolecular tetraplexes, an intramolecular antiparallel tetraplex, a tetraplex consisting of three parallel chains and one antiparallel chain, a poorly stable parallel intramolecular tetraplex, and both parallel and antiparallel tetramolecular tetraplexes. G(3)(TTAG(3))(3) folds into a single, stable and very compact intramolecular antiparallel tetraplex. With an increasing repeat number, the fragment tetraplexes surprisingly are ever less thermostable and their migration and enthalpy decrease indicate increasing irregularities or domain splitting in their arrangements. Reduced stability and different topology of lengthy telomeric tails could contribute to the stepwise telomere shortening process

    Mapping the B-A conformational transition along plasmid DNA

    A simple method is presented to monitor conformational isomerizations along genomic DNA. We illustrate properties of the method with the B-A conformational transition induced by ethanol in linearized pUC19 plasmid DNA. At various ethanol concentrations, the DNA was irradiated with ultraviolet light, transferred to a restriction endonuclease buffer and the irradiated DNA was cleaved by 17 restriction endonucleases. The irradiation damaged DNA and the damage blocked the restrictase cleavage. The amount of uncleaved, i.e. damaged, DNA depended on the concentration of ethanol in a characteristic S-shape way typical of the cooperative B-A transition. The transition beginning and midpoint were determined for each restriction endonuclease. These data map the B-A transition along the whole polylinker of pUC19 DNA and six evenly distributed recognition sequences within the rest of the plasmid. The transition midpoints fell within the B-A transition region of the plasmid simultaneously determined by CD spectroscopy. The present method complements the previous methods used to study the B-A transition. It can be employed to analyze multikilobase regions of genomic DNA whose restriction endonuclease cleavage fragments can be separated and quantified on agarose gels

    Self-Assembly of G-Rich Oligonucleotides Incorporating a 3′-3′ Inversion of Polarity Site: A New Route Towards G-Wire DNA Nanostructures

    Obtaining DNA nanostructures with potential applications in drug discovery, diagnostics, and electronics in a simple and affordable way represents one of the hottest topics in nanotechnological and medical sciences. Herein, we report a novel strategy to obtain structurally homogeneous DNA G-wire nanostructures of known length, starting from the short unmodified G-rich oligonucleotide d(5′-CGGT-3′–3′-GGC-5′) (1) incorporating a 3’–3′ inversion of polarity site. The reported approach allowed us to obtain long G-wire assemblies through 5′–5′ π–π stacking interactions in between the tetramolecular G-quadruplex building blocks that form when 1 is annealed in the presence of potassium ions. Our results expand the repertoire of synthetic methodologies to obtain new tailored DNA G-wire nanostructures

    Investigation of spectral conversion of d(TTAGGG)4 and d(TTAGGG)13 upon potassium titration by a G-quadruplex recognizer BMVC molecule

    We have introduced a G-quadruplex-binding ligand, 3,6-bis(1-methyl-4-vinylpyridinium)carbazole diiodide (BMVC), to verify the major structure of d(T2AG3)4 (H24) in potassium solution and examine the structural conversion of H24 in sodium solution upon potassium titration. The studies of circular dichroism, induced circular dichroism, spectral titration and gel competition have allowed us to determine the binding mode and binding ratio of BMVC to the H24 in solution and eliminate the parallel form as the major G-quadruplex structure. Although the mixed-type form could not be eliminated as a main component, the basket and chair forms are more likely the main components of H24 in potassium solution. In addition, the circular dichroism spectra and the job plots reveal that a longer telomeric sequence d(T2AG3)13 (H78) could form two units of G4 structure both in sodium or potassium solutions. Of particular interest is that no appreciable change on the induced circular dichroism spectra of BMVC is found during the change of the circular dichroism patterns of H24 upon potassium titration. Considering similar spectral conversion detected for H24 and a long sequence H78 together with the G4 structure stabilized by BMVC, it is therefore unlikely that the rapid spectral conversion of H24 and H78 is due to structural change between different types of the G4 structures. With reference to the circular dichroism spectra of d(GAA)7 and d(GAAA)5, we suggest that the spectral conversion of H24 upon potassium titration is attributed to fast ion exchange resulting in different loop base interaction and various hydrogen bonding effects

    Arrangements of human telomere DNA quadruplex in physiologically relevant K+ solutions

    The arrangement of the human telomeric quadruplex in physiologically relevant conditions has not yet been unambiguously determined. Our spectroscopic results suggest that the core quadruplex sequence G3(TTAG3)3 forms an antiparallel quadruplex of the same basket type in solution containing either K+ or Na+ ions. Analogous sequences extended by flanking nucleotides form a mixture of the antiparallel and hybrid (3 + 1) quadruplexes in K+-containing solutions. We, however, show that long telomeric DNA behaves in the same way as the basic G3(TTAG3)3 motif. Both G3(TTAG3)3 and long telomeric DNA are also able to adopt the (3 + 1) quadruplex structure: Molecular crowding conditions, simulated here by ethanol, induced a slow transition of the K+-stabilized quadruplex into the hybrid quadruplex structure and then into a parallel quadruplex arrangement at increased temperatures. Most importantly, we demonstrate that the same transitions can be induced even in aqueous, K+-containing solution by increasing the DNA concentration. This is why distinct quadruplex structures were detected for AG3(TTAG3)3 by X-ray, nuclear magnetic resonance and circular dichrosim spectroscopy: Depending on DNA concentration, the human telomeric DNA can adopt the antiparallel quadruplex, the (3 + 1) structure, or the parallel quadruplex in physiologically relevant concentrations of K+ ions
