Overview

CD Biosynsis offer one-stop enzyme discovery and design, manually combined with cutting-edge biotechnologies, nice variety of isolation and purification technologies, high-throughput screening technologies, bioinformatics tools and metagenomic libraries.Our service is available from providing sample preparation to final identification of new enzymes.

Enzyme Discovery and Design (K Steiner, et al., 2012)

We can do more than enzyme discovery, we can also enhance the existing enzyme for your required conditions and optimise their production. For customised enzyme design, high-throughput biochemical screening, protein production and purification, you can utilise E. coli. In attempt to make this process faster and more economical, bioinformatically guided enzyme design will be applied.

We have long-term experience, and all experiments will go through the full steps in accordance with the most advanced experimental protocols and technologies in order to improve efficiency of service and ensure product quality. We endeavour to offer professional consulting services for enzyme engineering such as directed evolution and enzyme activity and kinetics analysis, provide professional customised service in protein purification, and also offer professional design service for protein compatible with liposome.

Core Service Offerings

In addition, our company provides Comprehensive one-stop enzyme discovery and designing services with absolute top-caliber comprehensive solutions for enzyme discovery and optimization and processing.

Strategies for the discovery of new enzyme functions(K Chen, et al., 2020)

The detailed service description is as follows:

Enzyme discovery platform

Based on a high-throughput virtual screening model developed from a 3D model, screen and identify enzyme candidate sequences for possible target enzymes, using the returned set of enzyme candidate sequences as target enzymes to identify screening enzymes that may have chemical reactions associated with your desired compound library that will produce the required new molecules.

Enzyme engineering and optimization

Based on the thought of rational design, directed evolution and other methods, we have constructed the new proteins that have higher efficiency to catalyze reactions and endowed the traditional proteins with features such as high activity and thermostability, which enhanced the feasibility of industrial application. Adapted by an expert team with rich experience, we have a broad class of methods to build various models and facilitated the development of validation events of enzyme engineering.

Enzyme expression and purification

We offer customised enzyme design, high-throughput production and purification based on Escherichia coli according to the advanced gene synthesis and protein production technology, which keeps it flexible in quickly finding and producing needed enzymes.

Experimental testing of activity and specificity of enzymes

Experimental testing of enzyme acitivty and specificity is done in a number of ways.

Enzyme production

Including large-scale production and process development of recombinant proteins and enzymes

Project Workflow

Customer cooperation with the company's 'one-stop enzyme discovery and design services' can include the following steps:

Needs analysis and project initiatioanl

Stages of the sales process

Signing contract

Project execution

Delivery and acceptance of results

Follow up service and technical assistant

  1. Needs analysis and project initiatioanl: (user) As a first step, clients need to be in contact with our company to confirm their specific requirements about enzyme design such as (a) the functions of enzymes and (b) the application field. Then, our company and clients may make some preliminary technical communicaton and needs confirmation.
  2. Stages of the sales process: Plan design and quotation: According the customer's requirements, our company will send you a detailed project design plan, such as the technical routes, predicted time plan and budget price for the project. This is the first important stage for both side to prove the sincerity and make sure the cooperation details
  3. Signing contract: Once the customer is agreed to the plan design and quotation, the customer and the company will sign a contract to specify each other's rights and obligation and the specific details of the implementing process.
  4. Project execution: With the signing of the technical route and the timetable currently, we will enter the project execution stage, and our company will conduct the design and development of enzymes based on the approved technical route and timetable. And in this stage, both parties are supposed to keep in constant communication and the possible technical issue, the suspension of production or the delay etc will be promptly communicated so as to resolve the problem together and timely adjust the project plan.
  5. Delivery and acceptance of results: After the project completes, our company supplies the result of enzyme design to the customer. Then, our company executes testing and verification via the result. Customer accepts the results according to terms provided in the contract.
  6. Follow up service and technical assistant: After project passes the acceptance threshold, our company may also provide some follow-up service and technical assistant in using enzyme product in actual production, like giving some technical support and solution to the operation problem.

Case Studies

Customer background: A scientific research institution needs a new enzyme with excellent catalytic properties.

Solution: We used genome mining technology to obtain a new type of R-mandelate dehydrogenase with excellent catalytic properties, and conducted research on related enzymatic characteristics. Through subsequent efficient expression and rational transformation, the biosynthesis of acetophenone acid was successfully realized.

Results: This research not only laid the foundation for subsequent efficient expression and transformation, but also provided new tools and methods for related biosynthetic pathways.

Application Areas

Production of daily chemicals

Enzyme catalysis is very beneficial for production of daily chemicals. By designing and optimisation of the enzyme, we can improve production efficiency and product quality.

Drug synthesis

Enzymes can be widely used in the pharmaceutical and biochemical industries as high selective and high specificity biocatalys. The use of enzymology design and modification approach may shorten the R ․ D period for new drugs, and also improve the efficiency and safety of drug production.

Food industry

Enzymes are extremely useful in the food industry because they can be used for optimisation of fermentation processes and for enhancement of food quality and stability as well as their nutritional value. Designer enzymes could be part of the culinary innovation and industry development.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Questions that customers could ask about One-stop Enzyme Discovery and Design Services, and the answers to these questions:

Q: What are enzyme discovery and design services?

A: Enzyme discovery and design services offer complete biotechnology solutions to obtain new enzymes by screening from nature or engineer known enzymes to enhance activity, thermal stability and etc.

Q: What information do we need to provide to start this service?

A: What specific needs do you have? What enzyme are you hoping to improve? What is the intended area of application? Do you have any aspect preferences – for example, time limit or budget? Based on your information, we can devise customised service proposals.

Q: How long will it take to find suitable candidates and then optimise those who are screened?

A: As long as it takes to identify the right two electrodes, the right photograph, and to ensure that they are connected in the most efficient way – sometimes only a few months from screening to optimisation. We'll follow your schedule, however, so no one will be waiting around.

Q: What results can we expect?
