About eXoZymes Inc.
Founded in 2019, the company has developed a platform that - as a historic first - offers the tools and insight to control and optimize nature’s own processes to produce chemical compounds, enabling the company’s partners to replace traditional chemical production methods with a new sustainable, scalable, and eco-friendly alternative: Exozymes.
Exozymes are advanced enzymes enhanced with AI and bioengineering to thrive in a bioreactor outside of living cells. Exozymes can replace toxic petrochemical processes and inefficient biochemical extraction with sustainable and scalable biosolutions, that transform biomass into essential chemicals, medicines, and biofuels.
By freeing enzyme-driven chemical reactions from the limitations imposed by cells, exozyme biosolutions eliminate the scaling bottleneck that has hampered commercial success in the synthetic biology (SynBio) space, making exozymes the logical successor to most SynBio projects. After SynBio, this pioneering technology enables entering the exozymes era of biotechnology.
Inspired by insights from four recent Nobel Prizes in Chemistry, this technological platform ushers in a paradigm shift in chemical production by introducing scalable and sustainable exozyme biosolutions.
