Enzymatic engineering at your side
OUR KNOW-HOW
Our expertise is based on extensive experience of biological catalysts or enzymes. Enzyme activity analysis is the foundation of the expertise we offer you.
It's why, we put at your service our expertise to develop new assays methods, eco- friendly, accessible and transferable to your industrials conditions.
Using enzymes devoted to the synthesis of products of interest is an alternative to more polluting conventional strategies, such as organic chemistry.
How to purchase more active enzymes, recognizing the desired substrate or producing a specific compound ?
By scanning through their sequence and studying their conformation, molecular modeling and protein engineering, D-ZYME offers to confer optimized properties to targetted enzymes .
OUR OFFER OF SKILLS
at the interface of 3 areas
DEVELOPMENT
We develop new methods of enzymatic activities assays according to your industrial or experimental conditions for unrestricted use of equipment or specific knowledge.
CARACTERSATION
D-Zyme perform the identification of new enzymes by screenning of biodiversity , and enzyme optimization by molecular engineering based on bioinformatic modeling, taking into account the industrial constraints and performance expectations.
BIOINFORMATICS
We can redirect the enzymatic activity towards your aim by enzyme remodeling strategies using in silico model design and bioinformatic techniques like docking and molecular dynamics.
OUR APPROACH
Our core competence is enzyme activity analysis and enzyme design or creation of "customised" enzyme. D-ZYME therefore offers bio-responsible solutions to overcome biological and technological obstacles.
Using spectrophotometry, luminescence and fluorescence we conduct enzymatic activities analysis for a broad spectrum of enzymes and substrates.
Protein engineering techniques and medium throughput screening propose new possibilities in the development of new biocatalyst and synthesis of original eco-friendly products.
D-ZYME also offers a service upstream of the optimization activity. This service can be a search in databases (scientific monitoring) or a strategies proposed to improve the enzymatic activity.
