Our missions

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:

  • The quality of the image used for highlighting  your work  (size and resolution)
  • The quality of the text describing your work. This description is not the abstract of the article as published, which usually targets a specialized audience. In contrast, the description of the Featured Article must be  accessible to all GFPP community, which is diverse. Therefore, it should be accessible to the largest audience by being written in a didactic and attractive way.

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…)

          Welcome

          We are pleased to announce that the next meeting of the French Peptides and Proteins Group will be held in Amboise (Région Centre-Val-de-Loire), from Sunday 12th to Thursday 16th May 2019, in the beautiful and historic Loire valley area.

          Note that 2019 will be the 41th anniversary of the creation of the GFPP and also the 500th anniversary of the death of Leonardo Da Vinci, who spent his last years in Amboise, in the Chateau du Clos-Lucé, located a few kilometers away from the conference center.

          We have gathered a rich program of plenary speakers, spanning cutting-edge themes in the peptide and protein science field.

          A large part of the program will be dedicated to oral communications from young scientists. As usual, around 20 grants will be attributed to young investigators to cover their registration fees.

          The official language of the congress is English. For any enquiry, please contact us.

          Looking forward to seeing you in Amboise !
