AI-Driven Peroxidase Engineering for Industrial Biotechnology, Diagnostics, and Sustainable Biocatalysis

AI-Driven Peroxidase Engineering for Industrial and Biomedical Applications

Peroxidases are oxidative enzymes that catalyze reactions using hydrogen peroxide or related peroxide compounds. They play important roles in industrial biotechnology, diagnostics, biosensors, environmental remediation, textile processing, pulp and paper manufacturing, and fine chemical synthesis.

Commercial applications often require enzymes that remain active under demanding process conditions while maintaining high catalytic efficiency.

Neoncorte Bio applies AI-driven protein engineering to optimize peroxidases for improved activity, stability, manufacturability, and industrial robustness.

Why Engineer Peroxidases?

Native peroxidases frequently require optimization before they can achieve the performance needed for commercial manufacturing or analytical applications.
Protein engineering enables targeted improvements that increase catalytic performance while enhancing operational stability and manufacturing efficiency.
Optimization strategies are customized for specific industrial processes, analytical platforms, and biocatalytic reactions.

Common Engineering Challenges

Organizations developing peroxidases often seek improvements in:
  • Catalytic efficiency
  • Hydrogen peroxide tolerance
  • Oxidative stability
  • Thermostability
  • Acid stability
  • Alkaline stability
  • Broad pH operating range
  • Substrate specificity
  • Expanded substrate range
  • Operational stability

Publications
Scientific Publication of Neoncorte Bio Team
  • Modification of natural enzymes to introduce new properties and enhance existing ones is a central challenge in bioengineering. This study is focused on the development of Taq polymerase mutants that show enhanced reverse transcriptase (RTase) activity while retaining other desirable properties such as fidelity, 5′-3′ exonuclease activity, effective deoxyuracil incorporation, and tolerance to locked nucleic acid (LNA)-containing substrates.
  • The transcriptomic data are being frequently used in the research of biomarker genes of different diseases and biological states. The most common tasks there are the data harmonization and treatment outcome prediction. Both of them can be addressed via the style transfer approach. Either technical factors or any biological details about the samples which we would like to control (gender, biological state, treatment, etc.) can be used as style components.
