FAQ:

Q1: Should I consider enzyme stabilization, especially with micelles?

Enzymes show great potential in the manufacture of food products, pharmaceuticals and agricultural chemicals. Despite all the advantages, commercial exploitation of enzymatic synthesis remains rather limited. One of the main reasons is the need for a water-rich environment to preserve enzymatic biocatalytic activity. This necessity for an aqueous phase constitutes a significant problem for a number of biochemical reactions of commercial interest. In order to overcome the limitations and to make an enzymatic process attractive, reaction media more suitable than the aqueous phase are necessary to be developed. One of them is the reverse micelle system. Enzymes in reverse micelles systems are found owning increased stability. Similarly, enzymes can also be dispersed in a water phase using a micelle system. Some enzymes showed higher stability and activity in the non-aqueous micro-environment.

Our services include the proper selection of surfactants for the formation of micelles and the incorporation of enzymes in micelles. We also take other customer request into consideration. For example, we also demonstrated the techniques that entrap enzymes into micelles forming an optically transparent solution. Please contact us for more detailed information.
