Enzyme analysis and consultation

Enzymes are bio-catalysts that play a crucial role in the manufacture, preservation and improvement of everyday products, as well as in bio-based processes:

These include:
Food (drinks, bread, cheese, meat products)
Health (medication, dietary supplements)
Agriculture (feed processing, silage, veterinary medicine)
Cleaning supplies (detergents, cosmetics, toothpaste)
Waste management (biogas, biofuel, phosphate recycling)

Extraction, purification and characterization of enzymes

Our expertise in protein purification and characterization is based on scientific experience with enzymes of proteolysis and cell energy metabolism. Enzymes are essential for catalysis and the control of metabolism. As an approach for understanding enzyme function in vivo, we offer enzyme characterization under near physiological conditions. This is important for general pathophysiology, proteomic research and analysis of recombinant enzymes.

We offer:

Catalytic Activity

Animal metabolism can be screened in homogenates or extracts of frozen tissues (e.g.brain, heart, liver, kidney, skeletal muscle, and gonads) by photometric or fluorimetric analyses of key enzymes and central metabolites.
The physiological capacities of the different metabolic pathways are determined by measuring the maximal catalytic activities of key enzymes (maximal velocity, Vmax under standard conditions).
You will receive a detailed protocol of measurement and our physiological interpretation of the data.
