What we do
Connecting Industries
Do you want to improve your protein?
In silico protein engineering is your answer
Thanks to our cloud-based computer simulations pipeline we are capable of screening thousands of protein variants in competitive time.
Common services provided:
- Improve the performance of enzymes to meet precise industrial requirements
- Find new gainful applications for biocatalysts
- Speed up and increase the success rate of focused and/or directed evolution
- Achieve considerable savings in investment and reagents
- Reduce lab to market time
- Improve enzymes that do not have automatized laboratory screening processes
- Perform quick and inexpensive probing of new potential enzymes

Are you looking for an environmentally friendly synthesis?
Enzymes are your answer
Industries such as pharma, fine chemicals, polymers etc. can save up to 90% in process costs by replacing a chemical route by biochemical synthesis. Biocatalysts can help you save resources, energy, water and considerably reduce your gas emissions.
We will help you identify potential processes and the best biocatalyst for your problem.
