Biocatalysis

Rapid Development of Scaleable, Economic Processes

Our expertise in biocatalysis spans more than 15 years. Dowpharma^SM offers you a multidisciplinary team capable of delivering all aspects of biocatalysis:

• Rapid screening for enzymes
• Molecular biology to clone or improve the properties of an enzyme
• Process development of the enzyme preparation
• Optimization of the biotransformation itself

By seamlessly combining these skills, we are able to rapidly develop scaleable and economic processes to pharmaceutical intermediates. Scaleable because the biocatalyst comes from a microbial source that can be grown to whatever biomass is necessary. And economical, since the processes are truly catalytic.
