Using directed evolution, we have selected an adipyl acylase enzyme that can be used for a one-step bioconversion of adipyl-7-aminodesacetoxycephalosporanic acid (adipyl-7-ADCA) to 7-ADCA, an important compound for the synthesis of semisynthetic cephalosporins. The starting point for the directed evolution

One of the building blocks of cephalosporin antibiotics is 7-amino-deacetoxycephalosporanic acid (7-ADCA). It is currently produced from penicillin G using an elaborate chemical ring-expansion step followed by an enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis. However, 7-ADCA-like components can also be produced by direct fermentation.

Our team of scientists has experience in all areas of research including Life Science, Material Science, Chemical Synthesis, Chromatography, Analytical and many others.
