Almac Group introduces selectAZyme brand

Northern Ireland-based Almac Group has launched its selectAZyme brand, which provides a wide range of enzymes such as reductases, hydrolases, nitrolases for manufacturing applications.

The enzymes are used in applications from medicinal chemistry to full production and in the manufacture of specialty chemicals.

The key strength of the enzymes is the high selectivity of the chemical reactions they catalyse”, commented Dr Tom Moody, Head of Biocatalysis.

Metabolite synthesis is another tool within selectAZyme’s service providing access to both oxidative and glycosylated products.

The company has expanded from an initial sale of six enzyme screening kits to the current supply of chiral intermediates for drug substance manufacture, regular enzyme supply to specialty chemical companies and continued growth of its screening kits, to encourage growth and visibility.
