Supramolecular carbohydrate-based hydrogels from oxidative hydroxylation of amphiphilic β-C-glycosylbarbiturates and α-glucosidaseinduced hydrogelation

The team “Self-assembly of Glycopolymers” of CERMAV has developed a new family of sugar derivatives through an eco-responsible process which is able to self-assemble into hierarchical glyconanostructures to ultimately gel water and the gelation can be triggered by the action of a glycosidase.

Les variations du courant mesurées à travers une membrane lors du passage d’une biomolécule à travers le nanopore protéique s’avère être une méthode puissante de séquençage de polysaccharides de structure complexe. Elle permet d’en déterminer la taille, la nature et l’enchaînement des briques constitutives et leur degré de fonctionnalisation. © Régis Daniel

Deciphering GAGs: a new way of sequencing polysaccharides

In this publication involving Bernard Priem, Lecturer at the University of Grenoble Alpes, the authors propose an effective and robust approach based on passage through protein nanopores, to decipher the structure of complex bioactive polysaccharides, GAGs. Click on the title for more information.
