Biocatalysis

Biocatalysis is the ecofriendly reaction where natural catalysts, such as enzymes are used to perform chemical transformations. Some of the constraints in organic synthesis are low yields of high selectivity compounds. Selectivity can be achievable in organic reactions using protecting/ activating groups which ultimately contributes for the cost of process. Enzymes can accept a wide array of complex molecules as substrates, yielding products with unparalleled stereo, regio and chemo selective desirable products.

At Bioplus, scientists of different areas of biotechnology are involved in developing the novel methods of biocatalysis as viable alternatives for certain organic reactions. At the core, our efforts and investments are in these domains, targeting cost effective efficient technologies.
