Key points
The Biocatalysis Guide is a simple double-sided, single-sheet guide to the currently most used enzyme classes amongst the ACS GCI Pharmaceutical Roundtable member companies. It has been produced to be an easy to follow guide for chemists who have not had significant exposure to biocatalysis, showing generic transformations that are available so these can be factored into retrosynthetic analysis. In order to keep the sheet easy to read it is not an exhaustive guide to every transformation and it does not carry literature references.
Creates products through technologies derived from yeast production and focuses on yeast-related biotechnology applications and research. Oriental Yeast Company produces recombinant enzymes, recombinant human proteins, coenzymes, and substrates to improve crop yields, develop vaccines, and also offer customized dough improvers. Customizing dough for each client allows clients to maximize food quality while lowering costs and ingredient waste. Some of Oriental Yeast Company's coenzymes are used in manufacturing of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) through biocatalysis.
