Template-Assembled Synthetic G-Quartets (TASQ) hydrosolubles : du ligand de quadruplexes d'ADN et d'ARN à la plateforme catalytique
2013
Natural G-quartets, a cyclic and coplanar array of four guanine residues held together via Hoogsteen H-bond network, have recently received much attention due to their involvement in G-quadruplex-DNA, an alternative higher-order DNA structure strongly suspected to play important roles in key cellular events (chromosomal stability, regulation of gene expression). Besides this, synthetic G-quartets, which artificially mimic native G-quartets, have also been widely studied for their involvement in nanotechnological applications (i.e. nanowires, artificial ion channels, etc.). In contrast, intramolecular synthetic G-quartets, also named template-assembled synthetic G-quartet (TASQ), have been m…
Generative design and parametric / topological optimization of cellular structures bio-inspired by additive manufacturing
2022
Biomimicry is the practice of learning from nature and imitating its different functionalities. Nature proposes complex forms and objects which inspired designers and engineers to conceive and find solutions for their engineering problems. The fabrication of these complex objects is particularly assured by the different Additive Manufacturing (AM) techniques. Generally, biomimicry can be addressed at different levels, forms, textures, and behaviors, but in AM, it is presented under two main types. The first is the customization of parts (medical prosthesis, implants or custom sport equipments). And the second consists in the optimization for specific properties such as stiffness and lightne…
