The French Peptide Society
Our missions
The French Group of Peptides and Proteins (GFPP) is a society funded in 1978 which brings together around 200 members who are de facto the participants in biennial congresses of the GFPP. It is administered by an executive commitee composed of twelve members elected during these congresses, as well as the French delegate at the European Peptide Society (EPS) who is elected every four years by the French EPS members.
The missions of the GFPP are:
1) to promote the development of research in the field of peptide and protein science.
2) to stimulate the circulation of national and international scientific informations in these fields. With this in mind, the GFPP organizes its congress every two years (4 to 5 days), short thematic meetings (1 to 3 days) and manages a mailing list.
3) to participate in the training of young researchers, engineers and technicians from French laboratories. The GFPP regularly awards grants to: participate in international congresses in the field of peptides / proteins or fund inter-laboratory exchanges to disseminate new techniques and / or train young scientists in multidisciplinary approaches.

Article submission for publication on GFPP website
You have been invited to prepare a GFPP Featured Article to be published on the GFPP website home page. This is a unique opportunity to promote your research and make your team more visible, given the number of visits GFPP website receives each day.
Please follow carefully the guidelines as not doing so will considerably delay the publication of the Featured Article. The GFPP reserves the right to not publish the Featured Article if quality standards are not met.
Pay particularly attention to:
We thank you for the time spent to prepare your submission.

The environment shapes immune peptides |
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) play a key role in the external immunity of animals, offering an interesting model for studying the influence of the environment on the diversification and evolution of immune effectors. Alvinellacin (ALV), arenicin (ARE) and polaricin (POL, a novel AMP identified here), characterized from three marine worms inhabiting contrasted habitats (‘hot’ vents, temperate and polar respectively), possess a well conserved BRICHOS domain in their precursor molecule despite a profound amino acid and structural diversification of the C-terminal part containing the core active peptide.

Transporting Cu into Cells with a Peptide |
In Alzheimer’s disease (AD) copper ions accumulates in amyloid plaques, a hallmark of this disease. This copper likely originating from intracellular sources. The Cu in amyloid plaques is bound to its main constituent, the peptide amyloid-β (Aβ). Cu-Aβ can catalyze the production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vitro and is thought to contribute to the oxidative stress observed in AD. The paper reports on the development of a novel Cu shuttle able to restore the Cu balance between intra- and extracellular Cu. (more…)

Short peptides to replace chemicals in agronomy |
The current agriculture main challenge is to maintain food production while facing multiple threats such as increasing world population, temperature increase, lack of agrochemicals due to health issues and uprising of weeds resistant to herbicides. Developing novel, alternative, and safe methods is hence of paramount importance. Here we show that complementary peptides (cPEPs) from any gene can be designed to target specifically plant coding genes. (more…)

Moulding proteins with amino acids |
Gilles Subra received the Zervas award from the EPS in 2022 during the 36th EPS meeting in Sitges (Spain). With this recent article, he shares with us some of the innovative work pursued in his team.
MIP (molecular imprinted polymers) are prepared by polymerizing monomers around a template. After the removal of the template, the cavities in the material will be able to recognise and recapture selectively the molecule of interest. (more…)

Today, GFPP which brings together around 200 members who are the participants of GFPP biennial congresses. At this occasion, the GFPP board selects 25–35 young students whose registration and accommodation costs are waived. Besides the GFPP biennial congresses, the GFPP committee is responsible for organizing scientific workshops on specific topics. The GFPP board also promote exchange fellowships for short stays of its members in other French or foreign laboratories, as well as the participation of young scientists to international meetings.
In 1992, the GFP became GFPP (Groupe Français des Peptides et Protéines), and was structured into an association (according to the French law) with a scientific board of twelve members, a treasurer (André Colau at that time) and the French representative to the EPS Council. The twelve members represent the pluridisciplinarity of researches that are generally found in the peptide field as well as the different regions in France .
In 1978, the first meeting of the French Peptides Group was held in Pont-à-Mousson, with the ambition to bring together French researchers in the peptide field from all origins .
The success of this event prompted the GFPP committee to organize a meeting every two years.
The French Peptide Group (GFP) was funded by Bertrand Castro (at the time professor at the University of Nancy) and Pierre Rivaille (CNRS Director of Research at St-Antoine Hospital, Paris) in the mid 1970s.
