- 2. 1/23/2011C2 BioTechnologies, LLC2Business OverviewR&D: Design enzymes for industry.Goal: Manufacture enzymes for production of renewable energy.Technology: Fusion Enzyme.Seeking: Licensing and Commercial Partner.
- 3. What We DoDesign enzymes for industrial process.Design and construct more robust enzymes.Design and construct enzymes to consolidate industrial bio-process.1/23/2011C2 BioTechnologies, LLC3
- 4. How Does This Help?Robust enzymes can reduce variability in process… increasing product yield.Consolidating bio-process reduces operating and consumables costs.Each prototype fusion enzyme can be re-engineered: result in families of products.1/23/2011C2 BioTechnologies, LLC4

- 6. 1/23/2011C2 BioTechnologies, LLC6What are Enzymes?Enzymes are proteins, which are produced by all living organisms. Enzymes are responsible for a number of biological activities in plants, animals, human beings and microorganisms.Enzymes are distinguishable from other proteins because of their catalytic activity.Enzymes work by making or breaking chemical bonds.
