Efficiently forming peptide bonds in aqueous media is still a challenge whereas in living organism, protein translation is a highly efficient process. To tackle this challenge, this PhD project aims at developing new approaches at the frontier of prebiotic chemistry, peptide synthesis and green catalysis. The PhD project will establish new route towards aqueous polypeptide formation by implementing a methodology drawing on prebiobic precursors of proteins, the N-carboxyanhydrides. The PhD project will explore new hypotheses in the chemical origin of Life showing that polymer chemistry can be used to design systems chemistry processes. This original combination will enable green access to bioinspired polymers with biomimetic properties (self-sorting, dynamic recycling, etc.).
