The plastic materials polyurethane and polyvinyl alcohol can now be degraded under mild conditions with the help of enzymes as biocatalysts. Scientists from the University of Greifswald have developed ...

One of the central challenges for synthetic chemists is to impose control over free radicals. Highly reactive molecules with an unpaired electron, free radicals, may be familiar to you; these are the ...

Cascade Biocatalysts, a biomanufacturing company catalyzing green chemistry, raised an oversubscribed $2.6 M pre-seed led by Ten VC with participation from Amplify.LA, Boost VC, Range Ventures, ...

Many substances that we use every day only work in the right 3D structure. Natural enzymes could produce these in an environmentally friendly way - if they didn't need a co-substrate that is expensive ...

Enzymes, the unsung heroes of the biochemical world, hold immense potential in various industries ranging from pharmaceuticals and detergents to food and beverages. Harnessing the catalytic power of ...

Cascade Bio, a University of Colorado Boulder spinout enabling enzyme-based processes, has secured $6 million to accelerate the shift from petrochemicals to biomanufacturing. The funding includes $3.2 ...

The recent development of a broad range of biocatalysts that can be applied in organic synthesis has brought into focus the need to rethink the way in which organic target molecules might be ...

Welsh enzyme company Biocatalysts Ltd has developed a new enzyme as an alternative to papain, a papaya extract, which avoids susceptibility to seasonal price variations. The enzyme, dubbed Promod 950L ...

Cascade Biocatalysts, a biomanufacturing firm specializing in green chemistry, raised $2.6 million in a preseed financing round led by Ten VC. Cascade develops processes that make the use of enzymes ...
