Enyzme Panels for Rapid Screening

Finding the right enzyme shouldn’t take months. With directed enzyme panels, you can rapidly screen diverse, high-value candidates selected through our MetXtra™ discovery engine with advanced in-silico predictions. 

Delivered ready to test in high-throughput formats, our panels give you the power to identify hits faster, de-risk early decisions, and accelerate your development pipeline from the very first experiment.

What are enzyme panels?

Enzyme panels are curated sets of enzymes designed to help you rapidly explore biocatalytic performance. Using our MetXtra™ platform, we scan our diverse proprietary metagenomic database, public databases and AI-based enzyme designs to select the most relevant candidates for your target transformation. These sequences are then synthesised, expressed and prepared in a consistent screening format, giving you a high-quality panel that’s ready for immediate evaluation.

Enzyme panels provide a faster, more efficient way to identify the right biocatalyst for your process. By integrating a wide range of public sequences, novel metagenomic sequences, and AI-designed variants, delivered in an immediate, ready-to-test plate format, you can compare performance in parallel and generate meaningful data within days. The result? Quicker decisions, reduced development risk, and a clear path to the most promising enzyme candidates for scale-up or further optimisation.

Whether you need speed or specificity - we've got you covered

Tailored Enzyme Panels
No standard panel, your enzyme panel.
We run MetXtra™ enzyme discovery specifically based on a customer query sequence. 48 discovered enzymes will be produced in duplicates in E. coli with AMR selection and in 96-well format. We supply customers with the 96‑well plate containing the produced enzyme panel, allowing them to test the enzymes on their relevant substrates directly.

How Our Panels are made

Unlocking the right biocatalyst starts with a clear understanding of the chemistry you need to drive. Our streamlined, step-by-step approach ensures every enzyme panel is built with purpose, from defining the desired conversion, to in-silico selection, to rapid expression and plate-ready delivery. 

By combining deep bioinformatics insight with efficient lab workflows, we help you move from concept to comparative data faster, with panels designed to reveal the best-performing enzymes for your process. 

Whether you’re exploring novel reaction space or validating known sequences, this workflow gives you clarity, speed and confidence in selecting the optimal biocatalyst.

MetXtra™ Enzyme Discovery: Where the story starts

The MetXtra™ platform combines a large database of proprietary metagenomes, harbouring more than 99% novel sequences compared to public domain, with AI-designed enzymes and an in-silico workflow for the targeted selection of the best enzymes for a given application. 

It uncovers high-value enzyme candidates, but it is the seamless transition into our engineering pipeline that truly sets us apart.

By uniting deep discovery with structure-guided optimisation, we turn promising sequences into finely tuned biocatalysts with the exact performance profile your application demands. 

It is this combination of capabilities, broad discovery power and precision engineering, that enables us to deliver enzymes uniquely tailored to each customer’s project.
