Biocatalysis, involving the use of natural catalysts such as enzymes, offers environmentally friendly and cost-effective alternatives to traditional chemical synthesis . Especially when the reactions involve chiral molecules, biocatalysis provides highly stereoselective biotransformations, or efficient resolutions of enantiomers.
WuXi STA’s comprehensive biocatalysis platform offers a one-stop solution for all of your biocatalysis challenges; this includes enzyme screening, enzyme evolution, enzyme fermentation as well as process development and GMP production.
