Closing lecture
Orléans is located 110 km north of Paris. There is regular trains from Paris Austerlitz station and from Tours train station (both around 1 h travel), as well as direct shuttles from the two Paris airports (Orly and Roissy-Charles de Gaulles).
The conference venue is unique. Located right next to the Orléans’ cathedral, the episcopal palace of Orléans, built between 1635 and 1641, locally known as the Hôtel Dupanloup, is a classical French building which served until 1905 of residence to the bishops of Orléans. Since 2014, the renewed palace hosts the International University Center for Research and Le Studium Loire Valley Institute for Advanced Studies.
Participants will be welcomed in this exceptional surrounding, blending Middle Age and Renaissance cultures with modern design and will have the opportunity to discover French cuisine and wines.
Venue adress: 1, rue Dupanloup – 45000 ORLEANS – FR
Hôtel Dupanloup is 10 min walk from Orléans train station. Alternatively, you can take tram A to De Gaulle station then tram B to Cathédrale-Hôtel de Ville station.

MONDAY JANUARY 27th 2020
The symposium entitled:
Challenges and prospects in chemoselective ligations: from protein synthesis to site-specific conjugation
have been held in Orléans (France), from Monday 27th to Wednesday 29th January 2020.
This three-day international conference was jointly organized by LE STUDIUM Loire Valley Institute for Advanced Studies and the Centre for Molecular Biophysics – CNRS Orléans. This event was held under the auspices of the French Peptide and Protein Group (GFPP) and followed three previous editions (Paris 2001, Lille 2008 and 2016) of short international meetings dedicated to chemical ligation. The official language of this meeting is English.
Recent years have seen an exponentially growing interest in chemical reactions enabling the selective modification of proteins and peptides. These advances are intimately linked to the development of methodologies for protein engineering with an atomic precision, for the generation of well-defined antibody-drug conjugates or on-demand probes to decipher biological processes. Such chemoselective reactions are also widely utilized for the total synthesis and semi-synthesis of proteins through chemical ligation of unprotected peptide fragments, an approach highly complementary to recombinant production. The chemical reactions implemented for both purposes share the same requirements: compatibility with dilute aqueous solution at physiological pH, and tolerance to the myriad functional groups commonly found in biomolecules. These remarkable features inspired the advent of bioorthogonal reactions, which can be carried out in living systems.
Sixteen invited speakers have accepted our invitation and covered the different aspects of these multidisciplinary fields, from methodology development to biological applications. In addition, contributions selected from submitted abstracts have been presented as oral communication and poster.
Forthcoming thematic days organized under the auspices of GFPP

Past thematic days organized under the auspices of GFPP
Tuesday afternoon excursions
The choice between several excursions is proposed for Tuesday afternoon. Either :
Canoe/kayak on the river Loire.
Visit of two wine cellars, including wine tasting sessions: oenotouristic visit of a troglodyte wine cellar, and visit of a family-owned cellar and vineyard.
Visit of the Chenonceau castle.
Visit of the castle of Chaumont-sur-loire and the international garden festival.
Please note that some of the proposed excursions options could finally be unavailable, either in case of weather incompatibilities or a of a too small number of registered participants for a given option. We will keep in touch with registered participants in due course to arrange for an alternative option.
