Core Capabilities

1. Applications of BioCatalysts

Applimex’s scientists are pioneers in the area of thermophilic organisms and possess a deep understanding of enzyme characteristics and performance.

 

2. Enzyme Sourcing: Unique Organisms for Therapeutic, Agricultural and Industrial Applications

 

Applimex has access to unique collections of extremophiles from locations such as geothermal environments of Australia, Dry Valleys of Antarctica and deep ocean trenches of the Atlantic and Pacific. Applimex is therefore able to retrieve genetic information encoding novel natural enzymes of a required functionality from diverse natural sources.

 

These extremophiles can be applied to a wide range of potential applications such as agriculture, environmental bioremediation, replacing synthetic chemicals in industrial processes, and as pharmaceutical drugs and vaccines.

 

Customers interested in any of these applications are encouraged to contact us.

 

3. Optimising Performance of Enzymes for Specific Applications

Applimex has developed proprietary molecular evolution technology, which can optimise the performance of enzymes for specific applications. Applimex can generate chimeric enzymes from naturally occurring genes and tailor these to deliver targeted improvements in physicochemical properties, including substrate selectivity and binding, regio- and enantioselectivities, catalytic activities, kinetic properties, and stabilities to thermal and other denaturants.

 

Customers interested in having their currently-used enzymes optimised in order to achieve greater efficiency, or to optimise a enzyme supplied by Applimex, are encouraged to contact us.

 

4. Manufacture of Enzymes

Applimex has developed novel technologies to significantly increase the yields of difficult-to-express biocatalysts in biological fermentation processes.  


Customers interested in leading-edge expression systems for production of enzymes and other organisms should contact us.


5. Client Solutions

 

Using its innovative capabilities, Applimex has developed a portfolio of biocatalysts developed in-house for use in a variety of applications including bulk and fine chemicals, biofuels, pharmaceutical, food and beverage, detergent, and pulp and paper industries, agrichemicals and biopesticides, and in environmental bioremediation.

 

In addition to this portfolio of biocatalysts, Applimex also provides contract service activities which leverage its proprietary technologies. Client companies encompass a wide range of industry sectors including food and beverage, oil & gas, medical devices, biotechnology, biofuels, laboratory research and diagnostics.
