CD Biosynsis leverages our extensive experience and technological excellence in synthetic biology to help our customers overcome the challenges of traditional protease production to meet the growing demand for proteases in various fields, including the food industry, chemical industry, and pharmaceutical industry. We also support large-scale, high-efficiency protease production to advance the widespread use of proteases in industrial production.
Advantages of Synthetic Biology-Driven Proteases Production
Proteases represent a large group of different hydrolytic enzymes, usually classified by their site of action, enzyme active site structure and specific reaction mechanisms. They have biochemical and/or physiological roles in many aspects of cellular and organismal functions. However, the development of commercial processes for protease production faces many challenges, among which substrate specificity, enzyme stability and enzyme cost are the main issues faced in industry. In addition, most naturally produced protease have many limitations in industrial applications and need to be modified according to the extreme conditions of the industry. Recent advances in synthetic biology have led to breakthroughs in the development of superior protease-producing microorganisms through genetic and metabolic engineering strategies. Synthetic biology provides engineering ideas and capabilities to dramatically improve the biocatalytic efficiency and enzymatic stability of proteases, thus accelerating the industrial realization of biomanufacturing concepts.

Overcome Challenges in Proteases Production
- Low catalytic efficiency
We use our powerful synthetic biology technology platform to analyze the binding efficiency of proteases and their substrates through molecular docking and molecular dynamics simulations to develop proteases with high catalytic efficiency.
- Low stability at high temperatures and variable pH
We can engineer microorganisms by mutagenesis and cloning to improve the function and stability of proteases.
- Relatively high cost
We use strong promoters to increase the yield of proteases, making large-scale production in bioreactors possible and reducing costs.
