The Netherlands, close to other SME and large industry companies
• SME of ~48 employees
• Core biocatalysis team of ~10 R&D colleagues

Why Biocatalysis ?Biocatalysis is the use of enzymes as they are provided by nature andimproved in the laboratory as catalysts for organic chemistry.
• on the interface of Biology and Chemistry• requiring the integration of both disciplines in one team• Enzymes are valuable catalysts for organic synthesis as they are:
• generally chemo-, regio- and often enantioselective (quality)• generally working under mild reaction conditions: ambient temperature,
pH and pressure (process costs)
• green chemistry: often reduced environmental burden (e.g. lessorganic and inorganic waste streams)

Biocatalysis in Route Scouting• biocatalysis is typically embedded in a multi-step chemical process
• typically not just replacing a chemical reaction for a biocatalytic step
• enabling novel, shorter routes towards the target product
• from alternative raw materials

Example: Biocatalytic Routes toPregabalin (Selection)

The diversity of enzyme reactions and their excellentselectivity enable the design of new routes on diversestarting materials thus further enabling the idealchoice of biocatalytic process.

Regio- and Chemoselectivity
Regioselectivity• discrimination of two identical
chemical functionalities in onemolecule
• e.g. oxidation of alcoholgroups in 1,2-propandiol:
Chemoselectivity• distinguishing similar chemical
functionalities in one molecule
• e.g. specific methyl-transferases for different atoms

The molecular basis for chirality
• Natural (proteinogenic) amino acids are L-stereoisomers• Proteins are intrinsically chiral: true for enzymes, but also for
receptors (drug, taste, flavour, agrochemicals)
Different binding of (R)- vs. (S)-stereoisomer leads to differentbiological effect

Softenon® (thalidomide) case
• Thalidomide molecule is chiral: racemic compound was marketed as sedativefor pregnant women in 50-60-ies.
• Only one form was the desired sedative; the other form caused fetalabnormalities*
• Since the Softenon® drama: FDA / Pharma Industries investigate standardly thephysiological effects of both enantiomers of a drug candidate.
* Simplified version, since the drug racemizes in the body

Recombinant Biocatalyst Production• Limited number of enzyme production organisms• Higher activity per cell than natural isolates (specific activity)• Higher cell density in less time as compared to isolates• Higher volumetric productivity (activity / fermentation
volume)• Less interfering enzymatic activities (known background
activities)
• Lower Biocat costs & shorter development times

HSC Aspartame Process• Enzyme Thermolysin selects the right coupling position:
– Thermolysin only accepts L-stereoisomer (L-PheOMe): stereoselectivity– Thermolysin couples only to a-position: regioselectivity
• Out of four possible products, we only made L-a-Asp-L-PheOMe (Aspartame)– Free of bitter side products
• Recycling of enzyme by Ultra-filtration• At Holland Sweetener Company (DSM-Tosoh Joint Venture) in Geleen, NL
– Run at several ktons per year for more than 10 years
