Codex™ Biocatalyst Panels are used extensively in the global pharmaceutical industry. Enzymes of a given family, known to catalyze a certain reaction, were developed using Codexis proprietary technology. They are provided to customers in a convenient 96-well plate format. Each panel has been pre-tuned to react with a wide range of substrates under a variety of reaction conditions to aid in the selection and optimization of highperformance biocatalysts. Coming from the same platform, they are quickly scalable.
This technology dramatically reduces development time required to generate a suitable biocatalyst for challenging process steps. Customers can quickly move from initial screening to generating the first kilogram quantities of desired material. Panels are currently offered for five enzyme classes widely used to produce human therapeutics.
Panels involving different classes of enzymes may be useful in biofuels and other bioindustrial applications. For example, cellulase panels could enable identification of optimal enzyme combinations for different feedstocks.
