Characterization of a sub-family of LPMO enzymes with atypical properties
“Lytic Polysaccharide MonoOxygenase“ (LPMO) enzymes are widespread enzymes with a copper atom in the active site. In the natural environment, they stimulate the conversion of biopolymers. For several years now, IFPEN and INRAE have been working on gaining a better understanding of these enzymes and also on the cellulases produced by the T. reesei fungus, with a view to their use for bio-based industrial processes.
The role of AI in the analysis of ancient geographic maps: a window to the past
Analyzing and comparing old geographical maps with our current digital data makes it possible to trace the evolution of land occupation since the Middle Ages. Thanks to an innovative approach exploiting artificial intelligence (AI), particularly deep learning, new, easier-to-implement techniques are opening up to researchers in the field.
