TRAINING NETWORK IN INNOVATIVE POLYELECTROLYTES FOR ENERGY AND ENVIRONMENT (RENAISSANCE)

Start date: May 1, 2012, End date: Apr 30, 2016,

The introduction of new ionic moieties (cations and anions) into polymers is giving rise to a new family of functional polymers with particular properties and new applications which is provoking a RENAISSANCE of the chemistry and applications of classic polyelectrolytes. However, further developments and a better understanding of the properties and applications of innovative polyelectrolytes are ...

Carbohydrate Multivalent Systems as tools to study Pathogen interaction with DC-SIGN (CARMUSYS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2009, End date: Dec 31, 2012,

"The importance of glycosciences in the development of biology and medicine and the central role played by chemistry in this process have recently been pointed out by ESF. However, it appears that exposure of young scientists in their training phase to the chemical biology of carbohydrates is still lacking. This multidisciplinary project intends to approach the design and synthesis of carbohydrate ...

Vesicle formation driven by ESCRT (endosomal sorting complex required for transport) (vesicle ESCoRT)

Start date: Oct 15, 2009, End date: Oct 14, 2012,

The endosomal sorting complex required for transport (ESCRT) is a multi-protein complex, which facilitates many processes in biological cells. In particular, it is central to trafficking of membrane proteins and budding of certain enveloped viruses such as HIV. Recent experimental data show that certain ESCRT proteins that associate with lipid membranes assemble into polymer-like structures. These ...

MULTI-LEVEL PROTECTION OF MATERIALS FOR VEHICLES BY “SMART” NANOCONTAINERS (MUST)

Start date: Jun 1, 2008, End date: Sep 30, 2012,

The project MUST will provide new technologies based on active multi-level protective systems for future vehicle materials. “Smart” release nanocontainers will be developed and incorporated in commercial paints, lacquers and adhesive systems to prepare new products exhibiting self-healing properties. A multi-level self-healing approach will combine - in a same system - several damage prevention an ...

Development of carbohydrate array technology to systematically explore the functional role of glycans in healthy and diseased states (EuroGlycoArrays)

Start date: Sep 1, 2008, End date: Aug 31, 2012,

The development and production of glycoarrays will provide the foreground knowledge necessary to lead to a step change in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases ranging from cancers to autoimmune diseases. Carbohydrates play a pivotal role in the molecular interactions that govern biological events at the centre of health and disease. This has become more evident as the characterisation and ident ...

Probing Molecular Recognition of the Avian and Human Influenza Virus (GlycoFluP)

Start date: Mar 1, 2009, End date: Oct 31, 2009,

The presence of carbohydrate structures on the surface of proteins has been estimated to occur in more than 50% of eukaryotic cells, and is linked to several biological events such as cell signalling regulation, cellular differentiation and immune response. Of the three classes of biooligomers, oligosaccharides have proven to be the most difficult to synthesize. Studies concerning the structure an ...
