Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
The objective of this course is to initiate the students to the emerging field of Bioinspired Chemistry. We will explore and be inspired from biosupramolecular structures and natural processes (e.g. self-organization, cooperativity, biomineralization), in order to design new approaches of chemistry to be applied to the domains energy, health, information, and catalysis.
Content of UE
AA1: Bioinspired Self-Assembly (10h)
I. Concepts: Biomimicry, Bioinspiration / Examples of bioinspired structures/materials / Principles of recognition, self-assembly, self-organisation, cooperativity
II. Self-assembled bioinspired structures : DNA-inspired structures / Peptide-inspired structures / Molecular cages and receptors / Molecular machines
III. Principle of Biomineralization
AA2: Analytical methods for biomolecular systems (10h + 10h practical works) Optical spectroscopy and microscopy for bioinspired systems (M. Surin) Mass spectrometry for biomolecules (J. De Winter et P. Gerbaux)
AA3: Applications des systèmes bio-inspirés (10h + 10h exercises) Bio-inspired surfaces / Biomineralization / Artificial photosynthesis / Bioinpired catalysis
