Description du sujet de thèse
This PhD project aims at developing new methodologies at the frontier of prebiotic chemistry, peptide synthesis and green catalysis. It is dedicated to establish new route towards aqueous polypeptide formation by implementing a methodology drawing on prebiobic precursors of proteins, the N-carboxyanhydrides. The PhD project will explore new hypotheses in the chemical origin of Life showing that polymer chemistry can be used to design systems chemistry processes. This original combination will enable green access to bioinspired polymers with biomimetic properties (self-sorting, dynamic recycling, etc.).
Contexte de travail
The PhD candidate will work in two places: the team “Polymer self-assembly and life sciences” of the LCPO (Laboratory of Organic Polymer Chemistry, https://www.lcpo.fr/) in Pessac, France, under the supervision of Colin BONDUELLE (https://www.lcpo.fr/people/faculties/colin-bonduelle) and the “BioPhysicalChemistry” team of the CRPP (Centre de Recherche Paul Pascal, https://www.crpp.cnrs.fr/) in Pessac, France, under the supervision of Nicolas MARTIN (https://www.crpp.cnrs.fr/nicolas-martin/).
Informations complémentaires
The candidate recruited for this project will have a solid background in organic chemistry. Skills in polymer chemistry or peptide chemistry would be appreciated.
