  • Macromolecules auto-assembled and photopolymerised around carbon nanotubes, a method for production and application thereof
    Patent number: 7517587
    Abstract: The invention relates to macromolecules auto-assembled and photopolymerised around carbon nanotubes. Said macromolecules are essentially formed from rings of lipid compounds, polymerised about the nanotubes, said polymerised compounds being obtained from lipid molecules with one or two chains A, bonded to a group Z where A is a chain, CH3—(CH2)m—C?C—C?C—(CH2)n—, where n and m, independently=whole numbers from 1 to 16 and Z is a polar head group embodied by a —COOH, —CO—NH—Y, —NH2 or N+(R)3, where R is an alkyl with C1, to C4 and Y is a —(CH2)4—C(R1)—N(CH2—COOH)2 group with R=H, or a COOH group, where A is a single lipid chain or a group of structure (I) or (II), where R2=a COOH, or —CO—NH—Y1 group with Y1=a —(CH2)4—C (R3)—N(CH2COOH)2 group with R3=H or a COOH group, where Z and R2 can also be neutral polar head groups of the sugar or polysaccharide type.

  • Method for immobilizing and/or crystallizing biological macromolecules on carbon nanotubes and uses
    Patent number: 6656712
    Abstract: Method for the attachment and/or crystallization of macromolecules, chemical reagents used in the said method, products obtained as well as applications of the said products in the field of materials and of structural biology, in particular as biosensors or as biomaterials. The said method comprises essentially the incubation, without stirring, for at least 15 minutes, of a biological macromolecule in solution with nanotubes of carbon closed at their ends, under suitable temperature and pH conditions.

  • Molecular rod and uses
    Patent number: 6403705
    Abstract: The invention concerns molecular rods, their uses in a method for fixing and/or crystallising macromolecules, the resulting products and uses of said products in the field of materials and structural biology, in particular as biosensors or as biomaterials. Said molecular rods have a structure represented by the general formula (I) and said method essentially consists in incubating, for at least 15 minutes, a biological macromolecule in solution with a molecular rod as defined by the formula, in suitable temperature and pH conditions.
