The new era of enzymes

Sustainable
speed-up

Enzymes are proteins that accelerate chemical reactions more sustainably than many other compounds. They are used in manufacturing processes in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic and food industries.

Room to
improve

However, current methods for discovering and developing enzymes are tedious and expensive. Enzyme structures are also unstable, which is why they don’t always function well in industrial applications.

Upping the
game

In RADICALZ we develop tools for faster enzyme discovery and engineering, supporting the creation of more environmentally friendly consumer products.

Greener industrial processes

Our approach supports the circular bioeconomy

Using enzymes in industrial processes helps moving away from oil-based chemistry. To boost enzyme discovery and development, we count on microfluidics and machine learning.

Three case studies

We develop novel bio-based ingredients for these markets:

Nutraceuticals

We engineer enzymes to perform bio-based syntheses of prebiotics and glycosides that are used in nutraceutical products.

Cosmetics

We craft ingredients from renewable resources as an alternative to oil-based moisturisers, wetting agents, antioxidants and fragrances.
