Paul Rivollier thesis defense on February 28th, 2023
Summary : “Influenza viruses are responsible for human flu epidemics and pandemics causing hundreds of thousands of deaths each year, or sometimes long-term sequelae. The infectious process is based notably on two proteins, hemagglutinins and neuraminidases. The first allow the adhesion of the virus on the epithelial cells of the human respiratory system by the interaction […]
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.

Helical inclusion complexes of amylose with aromatic compounds: Crystallographic evidence for new V-type allomorphs
The morphology and crystal structure of three new inclusion complexes of amylose with small aromatic molecules were described, thus widening the family of V-amylose allomorphs that may form when starch is processed in the presence of various ingredients and additives.

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.
