More Information about Biocleave
Biocleave's core market is research use only (RUO) proteins, for the study of multiple cellular activities such as cell signalling, replication, transcription, and translation. Their proprietary technology, coupled with the unique characteristics of clostridia, enable them to overcome the typical protein expression challenges of production host toxicity and costly development cycles.
Other Applications
Flavour & Fragrance
Their clostridial host is capable of expressing enzymes involved in producing the flavour and fragrance molecules currently sourced primarily from plants. This enables them to address some of the problems surrounding sustainability of sourcing these products for large scale applications.
Agritech
Fragrance molecules play an important role in pest control, and as for the F&F markets, they are able to generate the enzymes required. The ability of their host to sporulate also means they have the potential to innovate in areas of immobilisation and delivery of these molecules.
Therapeutics
They are able to make essential components of therapeutic reagents for disease research. Use of their non-pathogenic clostridial host provides a safe alternative for producing toxoid elements of the pathogenic bacterial toxins. We are also able to produce reagents for drug discovery applications.
Custom Services
In addition to their range of catalogue proteins, Biocleave also work with clients on custom projects, specialising in hard-to-express proteins which have experienced toxicity issues, or low expression in other traditional hosts.
