CD Biosynsis leverages our synthetic biology platform to help our customers explore efficient ways of producing fibrous proteins to meet their growing needs in a multitude of applications. Our dedicated scientists can develop customized synthetic biology solutions to break the limits in the production and application of fibrous proteins.
Background
Fibrous proteins, also known as scleroproteins, are usually composed of fibrillar or elongated polypeptide chains and contain many superfamilies, including keratin, collagen, elastin, silk fibroins, and fibronectin. The demand for fibrous proteins is increasing in the global commercial market due to their promising applications in numerous fields such as biomedicine, pharmaceuticals, food processing, and cosmetics. However, due to the various difficulties faced in the production of fibrous proteins, the potential applications based on fibrous proteins are still under-exploited. Therefore, there is an urgent need to find robust methods to optimize the production of fibrous proteins. The powerful combination of protein synthetic biology, mammalian synthetic biology, microbial synthetic biology, and cell-free synthetic biology promises to address the challenges in fibrous protein production and create the conditions for the design and development of fibrous proteins with specific structures and functions. Our experienced scientists are dedicated to harnessing the power of synthetic biology to advance the widespread use of fibrous proteins.
