Clariant and Jülich Fine Chemicals Lead Consortium to Investigate Broader Use of Oxynitrilases
As partners in the research project, both Clariant and Jülich Fine Chemicals have elected to combine efforts in broadening the commercial production and application of oxynitrilase technologies as they apply to stereoselective addition of hydrocyanic acid to carbonyl compounds. Included in the research team are professionals from several disciplines. Prof. Kragl of the University of Rostock will support specific areas of biochemical engineering and help to identify bottlenecks. Dr. Pohl of Heinrich-Heine-University (Düsseldorf) will consider evolutionary methods to develop special enzymatic catalysts and Prof. Wajant (University of Würzburg) will look at targeted mutagenesis as another method for developing innovative solutions. All of the research team members bring to the table significant expertise in bioscience, process engineering, chemistry, analysis and technical marketing.
