Problem
Enzymes used in industrial processes often suffer from instability, poor solubility, and low efficiency, especially under harsh conditions. These limitations increase operational costs and hinder the broader adoption of sustainable, green chemistry practices.
Solution
Catsalyze offers a patented enzymatic scaffolding technology that enhances the stability, solubility, and efficiency of enzymes, leading to significantly improved performance. By immobilizing enzymes on a protein ring, the technology creates robust catalytic objects that can withstand extreme temperatures, salinity, and pH levels. This scaffolding approach not only increases enzyme lifespan and recyclability but also boosts production output by up to five times compared to traditional methods. The resulting catalytic structures facilitate the creation of metabolic chains and optimized resin grafting, making green chemistry more competitive and cost-effective.
Target Audience
The primary customers are companies in the chemical, pharmaceutical, and biotechnology industries seeking to improve the performance and sustainability of their enzyme-based processes.
