A scientific documentary about tardigrades will be available on Arte from December 28th, 2024
During the holidays, don’t miss the broadcast of the documentary film about tardigrades, which was partly filmed at IBMM with Myriam and Simon (team F16), as well as with their colleagues in the US, Japan, Italy, Germany, … Link to the trailer : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AtBeBpSSc2Y
The work of the “Green Chemistry and Innovative Technologies” team has been highlighted on the CNRS website
The article highlights recent work published in Angewandte, about an innovative approach that allows heating mechanochemical reactions during ball milling through the addition of a photothermal pigment in the reactor walls. Under light irradiation, this trick enables high activation energy reactions without solvent. An advance to discover in Angewandte Chemie International Edition. Link toward the […]
The SMART team on the cover of Angewandte Chemie by publishing the first foldarotaxane supramolecular machine operating through orchestrated induced movements. A great example of reciprocity.
The SMART team, in collaboration with teams from Bordeaux (Dr. Yann Ferrand) and Munich (Prof. Ivan Huc), reports the synthesis of a highly sophisticated interlocked supramolecular machine called a foldarotaxane – i.e., a macrocycle and a helix surrounding a molecular axis – in which interdependent and induced movements of the macrocycle and foldamer along the […]
Save the date ! French-Italian Joint Meeting GFPP24 from June 22nd to 26th, 2025.
Dear colleagues, On behalf of the French Group of Peptides and Proteins (GFPP) and Italian Peptide Society (ItPS), we have the great pleasure to invite you to the French-Italian Joint Meeting GFPP24 organized by the French and Italian Peptide and Protein Societies from June 22nd to 26th, 2025. The event will be held near the French-Italian border, […]
IBMM MINI-SYMPOSIUM: Cell penetration and drug delivery: new approaches, new tools, new methodologies
December, Thursday 12th – Amphi Balard Supramolecular Dynamic Chemistry for Membrane Transport and Biomimetic Systems. 14h-14h30 : Prof. Javier MONTENEGRO CIQUS, Universidad de Santiago de Compostela Investigation of peptide fragmentation by collision mass spectrometry: structure/dissociation relationship. 14h30 – 15h00 : Prof. Emmanuelle SACHON Laboratoire des BioMolécules, Sorbonne Université Abstract Controlling drug release using switchable lipids or […]
Internship 6 months : synthesis of 3’,5’-biphosphate nucleosides analogues modified at the 2’position for RNA detection
RNA molecules perform various functional roles in biological processes such as transcription or epigenetic regulation of genes. Chemical modifications and labeling of RNA are of particular importance to study RNA in vitro, or investigate its interactions with proteins.1 Chemo-enzymatic synthesis enables the incorporation of modified nucleosides with diverse functional groups into RNA.2 This method involves […]
Heating mechanochemical reactions using near-infrared irradiation – it’s possible!
Researchers from the Green Chemistry and Enabling Technologies team at the Institut des Biomolécules Max Mousseron (IBMM) and the Macromolecular Chemistry and Material department at the Charles Gerhardt Institute (ICGM) (CNRS/Université de Montpellier/ENSCM) have developed an innovative approach to heating mechanochemical reactions during solvent-free ball-milling, in order to achieve reactions with high activation energy. […]
IBMM stands out at the Courstache charity race: sporting victory and research funding
Success on all fronts Under the leadership of Magali Gary-Bobo, the IBMM team distinguished itself remarkably during this event : Individual victory: Adrien secured first place, flying the institute’s colors high. Collective performance: IBMM won the time challenge, establishing itself as the fastest team. The presence of Adrien and Jean-Max in the team was undoubtedly […]
Internship 6 months: Development of Analytical Methods for Protein and Peptide Analysis using Capillary Electrophoresis
Analytical Sciences of Biomolecules Team Project Description: The project aims to describe the structure of proteins in artificial or biological environments. To characterize the conformation of these proteins in crowded environments, capillary electrophoresis (CE) coupled with UV detection is used but requires various optimizations such as the nature of the separation buffer, its ionic strength, […]
