Scout:
Developing biocatalysts to replace chemical synthesis
The chemistry of specialised metabolism can catalyse most
modern key industrial reactions at room temperature and without toxic, scarce heavy
metals. However, the diversity of nature’s chemistry makes it inherently
challenging to explore. ErebaGen’s Scout platform effectively identifies novel
biocatalysts to replace traditional synthetic methods. Building on 25 years of groundbreaking
biosynthesis research, our platform exploits an holistic approach to identify
biocatalysts for industrially relevant applications.
With this platform, we can:
- Search
genomic databases to discover new biocatalysts - Prioritise
biocatalysts based on natural substrates - Screen
biocatalysts, identify leads, and scale production to mg quantities within
weeks - Implement
industrial scale fermentation processes
