AI-Driven Protein Engineering for Enzymes with Enhanced pH Tolerance and Industrial Robustness
AI-Engineered Proteins for Enhanced pH Stability
Industrial enzymes are frequently exposed to acidic, neutral, or highly alkaline environments that can reduce catalytic activity, alter protein structure, and shorten operational lifetime.
Engineering enzymes with improved pH stability enables manufacturers to expand operating windows, improve process consistency, and reduce production costs.
Neoncorte Bio develops AI-engineered enzymes with enhanced pH stability tailored for demanding industrial and biotechnology applications.

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.
