Engineered ligase phosphorothioate catalysis: AjinomotoRecent Research Landscape

Inefficient monomer addition during chain elongation increases impurity profiles and purification costs. These methods engineer the reaction environment to maximize coupling efficiency and yield.

What technical problems is Ajinomoto addressing in Engineered ligase phosphorothioate catalysis?

Inefficient phosphorothioate bond formation

(5)evidences

Inefficient chemical or enzymatic coupling leads to low purity and insufficient quantities of synthetic nucleic acids. Improving yield reduces manufacturing costs and enables large-scale therapeutic production.

Inefficient macrocyclization of bioactive peptides

(3)evidences

Inefficient peptide cyclization and poor product recovery during continuous synthesis. Improving yield and separation speed reduces manufacturing costs and material waste.
