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.

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.
Laundry products
We build enzymes to reduce the release of synthetic fibers into wastewaters and bio-based thickeners for liquid detergents.
