Applications of directed evolution in red biotechnology

During the chemical synthesis of new chemical entities it is often difficult to control factors such as enantioselectivity, chemoselectivity and regioselectivity. Biocatalysts offer a simple and effective solution to selectivity related problems.

Modern medicine started to search in nature protein-based solutions, in order to develop new biological entities. Unfortunately, nature did not optimize these proteins to be perfect drugs. This is the task of protein engineering.

The innovative SeSaM technology can make a significant contribution in the development of biocatalysts for drug synthesis and therapeutic proteins, such as monoclonal antibodies.
