Enzyme expert Biocatalysts wins the IChemE Global Food & Drink Award for an ultra-scale-down process for accelerated enzyme production on an industrial scale
BRAIN and Biocatalysts have jointly developed their first enzyme. Biocatalysts is now bringing the hydrolase Proteocut K to the life sciences market as a more powerful alternative to Proteinase K.
A bioprocess engineer and a food technologist – with the Swiss Prof. Dr.-Ing. Wiltrud Treffenfeldt and the British Stephen Catling as new Supervisory Board members, the Supervisory Board of BRAIN AG has not only gained further professional expertise, but also more internationality and an increased percentage of women.
Six months ago, Adriaan Moelker took over as Chair of the Board, thus assuming management of BRAIN AG. In an interview with News & Views, he talks about his first impressions, his goals, the ongoing transformation process and the future positioning of BRAIN AG on the capital market.
Using the REDUCE method, the “protein engineers" at BRAIN AG can optimize a protein in a targeted manner while it is already located in the production host. Enzyme developers can use the method to avoid undesirable developments and save time.
