[Project supported by FrenchBIC] Études mécanistiques de complexes à cuivre bioinspirés par la LPMO
Rébecca Leblay, from the group BiosCiences, iSm2, Marseille spent two weeks in the LCC in Toulouse. This project was supported by FrenchBIC. My PhD aims at studying the activity of LPMO (Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenases) bioinspired synthetic complexes and their potential activity to valorize recalcitrant biomass. Besides, in Toulouse, peptide ligands with a structure inspired of the first coordination sphere of the LPMO active site have been synthetized. To compare the nature and mechanism of oxidation by synthetic/peptide complexes, enzymes and …
