Portfolio B — Proteins & Enzymes

Engineered proteins. Optimised enzymes.

Delivered by the Centre for Interdisciplinary Biosciences under prof. Erik Sedlák: variant screening, directed evolution, biophysical stability mapping and purification workflow design — on industrial timelines rather than academic ones.

Work in this line is led by prof. RNDr. Erik Sedlák, DrSc. (Centre for Interdisciplinary Biosciences).

B1Flagship platform

Protein engineering · Fibrinolytic variants

Staphylokinase Variant Screening Platform

Rank hundreds of variants without purifying each one. A cell-free expression platform scores staphylokinase variants by activity directly from unpurified reactions — built for engineering campaigns where variant numbers make conventional screening impractical.

  • Cell-free screening
  • High-throughput ranking
  • Protein engineering

Enzyme engineering · Directed evolution

Haloalkane Dehalogenase Engineering Platform

Carbon–halogen bond cleavage for remediation and industrial process chemistry. Directed evolution, ribosome display and catalytic optimisation applied to your substrate — relevant wherever a process generates or handles halogenated streams.

  • Biocatalysis
  • Bioremediation
  • Green chemistry

Protein biophysics · Formulation support

Protein Stability & Formulation Platform

Know before you formulate. DSC, fluorescence probes and dynamic light scattering map thermodynamic and kinetic stability; buffer, salt and pH screening and aggregation risk profiling are run on your protein rather than on a generic prediction.

  • Thermal stability
  • Aggregation risk
  • Buffer optimisation

Protease activity · Condition optimisation

HRV 3C Protease Optimisation Platform

Kosmotropic anions increase HRV 3C protease rigidity, stability and catalytic efficiency — a published finding with direct workflow consequences. If your production depends on a cleavage step, this tells you which conditions maximise yield and enzyme lifetime.

  • Protease workflow
  • Salt screening
  • Enzyme stability

Recombinant protein purification

MBP Fusion Protein Purification Platform

One-step affinity purification and immobilisation for MBP-tagged proteins. The MBP tag substantially improves solubility for difficult-to-express fusion partners — a cost-effective alternative for teams spending too much on multi-step chromatography of insoluble targets.

  • MBP tag
  • Enhanced solubility
  • One-step purification

Membrane protein · GPCR

Membrane Protein & GPCR Feasibility Platform

High-risk, high-reward targets made more tractable: candidate selection, expression and purification strategy, hot-spot identification, and yeast or ribosome display for solubility improvement. Feasibility first — before you commit a full GPCR budget.

  • GPCR

Aggregation · Self-assembly

Amyloid & Protein Aggregation Platform

Aggregation quietly kills promising protein therapeutics and formulations. The platform screens stress conditions, maps aggregation kinetics and identifies stabilisation strategies. It also covers spider-silk self-assembly systems for biomedical and biomaterial applications.
