IntroductionIntroduction
Biochemize S.L.Biochemize S.L. is a biotechnological company focused in the design and development of processes based on biocatalysis.
Our technological platform lies in the use of enzymes or microorganisms to perform chemical reactions able to substitute manufacturing processes based on classical organic chemistry.

Our TechnologyOur Technology
Biochemize S.L.Biochemize S.L. develops bioprocesses using biocatalysts (enzymes or microorganisms) in single or multiple transformation steps.
Our technological platform P2BP2B (Platform to Biochemize) is capable to perform high throughput screening of biocatalysts, reaction conditions, suitable substrates and products obtained.
The screening can be done in a short period of time and renders information about different possible bioprocesses and conditions that could be further developed at a larger scale.

P2B – P2B – Platform To BiochemizePlatform To Biochemize
P2BP2B is the key to determine quickly with low risk and at very small scale if a conceptual biotransformation is technologically viable.
Once the succeeding biocatalysts or bioprocesses have been identified, Biochemize S.L.Biochemize S.L. investigates at lab scale the experimental conditions which can lead to the highest yields.
Two approaches can be followed:
P2B BioprocessP2B Bioprocess
Development of bioprocesses suitable to substitute already established synthetic procedures up to an industrial scale
Perform biotransformations that can lead to a (new) chemical entity with improved features compared to the starting molecule

A Bioprocess can be more efficient, costs saving or less contaminant
A Bioprocess can be highly selective.
Sometimes allows reducing synthetic pathways (e.g. protection/deprotection steps)
The development ranges from theoretical design to industrial scale-up and implementation. This latter phase is carried out by the customer under the support and supervision of Biochemize S.L.Biochemize S.L.

Building blocks can help to reduce synthesis steps of current processes or skipping reagents or intermediates hazardous, unstable, or complex to be obtained.
Obtaining of building blocksObtaining of building blocks
Building blocks obtained by biotechnology can be used as alternative source of reagents, starting materials and intermediates for chemical synthesis.

Products & ServicesProducts & Services
Synthesis of potential new chemical entities through biotechnology approaches.
Biocatalysts can be used to obtain new lead, lead optimization, me-too and me-better compounds by modification of already available structures.
Strategy especially interesting for molecules of natural origin and/or complex structure.
Support in discovery of new chemical entitiesSupport in discovery of new chemical entities
Biotechnological transformations can be applied to obtain a new molecule without complex synthetic processes or avoiding the use of synthetic reagents that can deeply change the original structure.
Biochemize S.L.Biochemize S.L. can perform High Throughput Screening through the P2BP2B technology.
