You have discovered a promising substance or developed a highly interesting compound, but they are just too expensive? No problem for acib – we can help you with the development of efficient biocatalytic production routes!
Background
Catalysts are the basic tool of all chemists and at acib we could provide several new, powerful tools over the last decade. Our biocatalysts feature high activity, specificity and selectivity while being able to work efficiently and environmentally-friendly at moderate temperatures and pH.
Technology
acib helps you to find economically-feasible routes for your molecule using:
- Reductive Biotransformations
- Oxidative Biotransformations
- Enzymatic Hydrations
- C-O Bond Formation & Cleavage
- Hydrolysis/Esterification
- Enzymatic Isomerisation
- Regioselective Glycosyl-Transfer and Activated Sugars
- and many more …
More information on our biocatalysis-expertise is available here. In addition, we can discover novel enzymes, engineer existing ones or optimize the expression, purification and immobilization of enzymes! We can also develop sophisticated enzymatic cascades and/or integrate the biocatalysts into suitable hosts for whole-cell biotransformations.
Project Offer
Under protection of a CDA/NDA we provide you with strategies for chemo-enzymatic synthesis of your compound. We can provide just the scouting itself (1-2 month) or the wet-lab proof-of-concept (2-4 months) or the full optimization until your target value has been reached. Any IP developed in such projects would fully belong to the investor/industrial partner.
