New Proteins

We design proteins never before seen in nature

Proteins are molecular machines that carry out the vast majority of functions within living things. The ability to rationally engineer protein function is foundational to engineering biology - including entire organisms.

Arzeda's unique combination of computational protein design and state-of-the-art high-throughput screening is a radical change over what's possible with traditional protein engineering. Our proprietary technology has been peer-reviewed in Science and Nature, and is based on solid and vetted models of protein biophysics and metabolic biochemistry coupled with large-scale computing.

New Biochemistry​

With our custom proteins, ordinary microbes can make extraordinary chemicals

By combining protein design, pathway design, HT screening and strain construction, we can create and improve designer fermentation strains for virtually any chemical

Scale-up by Design™

Our designer proteins and pathways are optimized for scale-up right from the beginning

Whether we are designing new or improved proteins, our computational-based technology platform maximizes the probability of commercial success. Arzeda’s Protein Design Technology ensures this by selecting proteins and enzymes from scaffolds compatible with the target production host, and then simultaneously engineering for protein stability, enzyme selectivity to limit by-product production, and high expression using Scribe™, our proprietary statistical learning software for DNA writing.

Advanced Chemicals & Materials

Arzeda enables the industrial production of performance-improving, sustainable monomers and additives to bring to market the chemicals and materials of tomorrow. By combining pathway design and enzyme design, we create cost-effective, scalable processes to produce new performance molecules that are inaccessible from natural diversity or synthetic chemistry.
