Compared to chemical catalysis the enzyme route offers a) green technology without heavy metal pollution; b) 100% enantiomeric resolution/purity as compared with perhaps 95% in a very good chemical process; c) no side products. Compared to existing enzyme technology the key point is the flexibility of protein engineering. Rather than being tied to one natural enzyme with its limited range of specificity we can design the catalyst for the target – i.e. the existing versatile range can easily be further extended. If you have a target substrate that is not already amenable to our existing range of biocatalysts, we are willing to discuss the possibility of a tailor-made catalyst.
