Unlimited by enzymes found in nature, Arzeda’s groundbreaking technology enables engineering enzymes for virtually any reaction. Our process integrates the power of chemical catalysis, the high selectivity of biological macromolecules, and the speed of computational design to engineer novel enzymes not available in nature.

While advances in enzyme engineering have enabled the expansion in scope and applications of enzymes in various industries, there remain many desirable chemical reactions for which no natural enzymes exist. Arzeda’s computational design methodology Arzetta™, begins with the chemical reaction of interest and generates the ideal catalytic machinery around it. This active site is subsequently combined with the protein of choice to result in a preferred custom-made enzyme.

Harnessing computational power to rapidly design and screen in silico allows for the timely exploration of nearly infinite protein libraries and enables solutions that are currently inaccessible with traditional enzyme engineering techniques, thus opening new business opportunities.
