- Why KGO Enzymes?
Scalable & sustainable oxygenation chemistry
KGOs are stable, easy to produce, and capable of regio- and stereoselective transformations covering hydroxylation, epoxidation, halogenation, desaturation and ring formation under mild aqueous conditions. Like P450 Monooxygenases, just without the complecity and headaches.
- Why Curated Panels Matter?
Curated enzyme panels for faster discovery
Generic panels mean low coverage and wasted screening rounds. Our KGO panels are assembled using computational prediction and active-site profiling - focused on your substrate class from the start.
- SCALE-UP READY
From mg screening to kg enzyme powder supply
Start with milligram-level enzyme tests, then move to kilogram powder quantities for pilot and production runs. Curated panels, reliable supply, and scale-ready delivery - all from one partner.
- Our KGO Enzyme Panels
Three Panels. Three Discovery Pathways.
Each panel is optimized for a specific chemistry space
