Topic B: Biotechnological applications to improve the utilisation of biomass
We offer expertise in enzyme production and characterization for screening purposes. We are specialized in customized cell-free protein synthesis (aka in vitro translation) for scaled down and parallelized testing. So far, we focused on CYPs and, for this call more importantly, fungal oxidoreductases (and a hydrolase).
We are always open for new partners with new targets/enzymes to explore.
At Fraunhofer IZI-BB we develop analytical and biotechnological solutions for medical problems, animal health, nutrition, cosmetics and the environment. Our research focuses on sample preparation, development of molecular recognition elements and data acquisition as well as miniaturization and automation of corresponding technologies in order to provide reliable, flexible and easy-to-use process flows for our customers. In addition, a major focus of the institute is the production of functional proteins by means of cell-free protein synthesis as well as the development of methods for obtaining, handling
and manipulating cells and biomolecules.
