Chemical Enzymes

Based in Pasadena, California, BioCatalytics is a leading provider of technology and services for the application of chemical enzymes. BioCatalytics offers an exceptionally broad product line of enzymes catalyzing a number of synthetically useful chemical reactions, including lipases and esterases for stereoselective hydrolysis, acylation, and transesterification; ketoreductases for the stereoselective reduction of ketones; alcohol oxidases for the selective oxidation of aryl alcohols; nitrilases for the stereoselective, regioselective, and chemoselective hydrolysis of nitriles to carboxylic acids; transaminases, amino acid dehydrogenases, and hydantoinases for the production of non-natural amino acids, both D and L; a microbially-produced adenosine deaminase free of any animal components for the production of nucleoside analogs; and many others. By continuing to identify and bring to market new enzymes useful for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates, BioCatalytics is striving to build a world-wide client base and technical leadership in biocatalysis. BioCatalytics is also actively developing patented technology for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates, including non-natural amino acids, â-amino acids, chiral alcohols, chiral amines, amino alcohols and other chiral compounds. With a scientific team at the forefront of modern biotechnology, BioCatalytics offers innovative solutions for the production of pharmaceutical intermediates and the creation of new enzymes for pharmaceutical, chemical and diagnostic applications.
