Biocatalysis is a powerful and eco-friendly approach that harnesses the power of biological molecules, such as enzymes, to speed up chemical transformations. Due to their specificity, enzymes are highly efficient at catalyzing reactions.
Why Are Biocatalysts Important?
- They allow for sustainable chemical reactions. Natural biocatalysts create fewer toxic byproducts than chemical catalysts.
- Since enzymes are not used up after a reaction, they can be reused, only utilizing a small amount of catalyst to produce a large amount of the target product.
- Biocatalysts speed up the chemical transformation process due to their ability to operate in much milder conditions than chemical catalysts.
Although biocatalysts have high potential for improving the drug manufacturing process, the process of producing and purifying enzymes can be complex and expensive. Small changes in the environment, like increases in temperature, may denature the enzyme and halt the entire process. In order to limit these shortcomings, businesses are looking globally to minimize the expenses. Specifically, India has a large pool of biochemists experienced in the complexities of biocatalysis. This allows for significant savings for Western organizations who collaborate with trusted teams in India.
Western companies can choose to hire their own teams in India or explore partnerships with established Indian organizations. Amritt, a reliable intermediary, facilitates connections between Western companies and carefully vetted outsource partners and suppliers in India, ensuring a seamless and dependable collaboration. This strategic approach allows Western businesses to navigate the Indian ecosystem effectively, leveraging the expertise and resources of trusted local entities through partnerships facilitated by Amritt.
