Codexis’ proprietary enzyme engineering technology remains a leading platform for a wide application of biocatalysis. This unique enzyme optimization process has been used to accelerate and improve manufacturing processes for products including active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), fine chemicals, industrial enzyme based products, etc. The CodeEvolver® protein engineering platform has been developed over ~20 years and aided by high-powered HTP screening and proprietary computational methods provides a powerful platform for engineering proteins. Besides being effectively used for single enzyme-based processes, applications involving enzyme complexes, as well as metabolic engineering have been successfully implemented. Using this technology, Codexis today reengineers microorganisms and enzymes, and uses them to solve chemistry challenges for a variety of applications, including some of the world’s largest pharmaceutical, food, and bio-industrial companies.
