Research interest: Peptide design for selective metal ion chelation
Selective metal chelators to treat metal overload in Wilson's disease or metal intoxication
Cu(I) selective chelators were designed from binding sites found in proteins involved in copper homeostasis. Particularly efficient chelating agents were obtained by mimicking the trigonal planar geometry CuS3 of metallothionein, which are metal detoxification proteins. These chelators were transformed into prodrugs, targeted at the hepatocytes, to treat localized copper accumulation in the liver, the main organ of copper accumulation in the rare Wilson’s disease.

Design of Lanthanide Binding Peptides as magnetic or luminescent probes
Short hexapeptide sequences containing unnatural chelating amino acids have been elaborated to chelate lanthanide ions and to exploit their amazing luminescent and magnetic properties in Ln-based probes. We are currently testing their ability to interact with DNA or RNA and to detect these recognition phenomenon via the metal-centered luminescence of terbium or europium complexes or via the relaxivity of the water protons induced by the gadolinium complexes.

Actinide's toxicity: Interactions of uranyl with model peptides
Peptides are interesting tools to rationalise uranyl - protein interactions, which are relevant to uranium toxicity in vivo. Structured cyclic peptide scaffolds were chosen as promising candidates to coordinate uranyl thanks to four amino acid side-chains pre-oriented towards the dioxo cation equatorial plane. The binding of uranyl by a series of decapeptides has been investigated with complementary analytical and spectroscopic methods to evidence the key parameters for the formation of stable uranyl – peptide complexes.
