Enzyme engineering and biocatalysis
6 European H2020 organizations list this as part of their work — 4 as their primary capability.
Most active in this area
- TECHNISCHE UNIVERSITAET BRAUNSCHWEIG
German technical university strong in aerospace aerodynamics, THz communications, and secure digital systems, with 71 H2020 projects across transport and ICT.
“CARBAZYMES (C-C bond-forming enzyme platform), BIOCASCADES (biocatalytic cascade reactions training network), and keywords around protein engineering, directed evolution, and lignin valorisation.”
DE71 projects - EVONIK INDUSTRIES AG
German specialty chemicals giant contributing industrial biocatalysis, advanced materials, and process scale-up expertise to European research consortia.
“CARBAZYMES focused on C-C bond-forming enzyme platforms (lyases, aldolases, halohydrin dehalogenases) and CARBOSURF on fermentative biosurfactant production.”
PrimaryDE8 projects - SVEUCILISTE U ZAGREBU FAKULTET KEMIJSKOG INZENJERSTVA I TEHNOLOGIJE
Croatian enzyme engineering group specializing in industrial biocatalysis, protein engineering, and green chemical synthesis at scale.
“Three projects (CARBAZYMES, CC-TOP, RADICALZ) all focus on engineering enzymes — aldolases, transketolases, lyases — for industrial C-C bond formation and green chemistry applications.”
PrimaryHR4 projects - INGENZA LIMITED
Scottish synthetic biology SME engineering microbial production platforms for industrial biomanufacturing of chemicals, enzymes, and biologics.
“Participated as third party in OXYTRAIN, focused on enzymatic oxygen activation — contributing industry perspective to an academic training network.”
SMEUK3 projects - SUSTAINABLE MOMENTUM SL
Spanish biotech SME bridging enzyme engineering and ML-driven enzyme discovery for sustainable industrial and food-sector bioprocesses.
“Both CARBAZYMES and RADICALZ centre on engineering and deploying enzymes — from optimizing specific classes (lyases, aldolases, halohydrin dehalogenases) in the first project to broader protein engineering for novel applications in the second.”
PrimarySMEES2 projects - BIOCHEMIZE SL
Barcelona biotech SME engineering industrial enzyme systems for pharmaceutical synthesis, bulk chemicals, and agri-food biomass valorisation.
“CARBAZYMES (2015-2019) had BCZ developing and thermostabilizing C-C bond forming enzyme panels (lyases, aldolases, halohydrin dehalogenases) for cascade reactions producing APIs and bulk chemicals.”
