Oligonucleotide based industrial enzymes
Created on 28 Jan 2017
Hello
We need a Project partner in biotech enzyme production for our Project proposal to the CoBioTech EraNet program
You can find the details in the call document attached.
We are interested in finding nucleic acid based enzymes to be used instead of protein based enzymes, if possible. Today we know that single strand dna molecules can be used in detection as antibodies (aptamers) and mRNA cropping as restriction enzymes (DNAzyme). There are also some known ribozymes of cleavage or ligation of RNA and DNA and peptide bond formation.
What am I curious about is finding DNA/RNA based enzymes that can be used in food, pharmaceutical or environmental industry. The partner should suggest us specific protein enzyme groups that are currently used by industry and also test our nucleic acid based enzymes if they have similar catalytic activity.
The platform will be microfluidics based.
Thanks and best wishes
