Why Stability Engineering

Beyond Simple Optimization

Enzyme instability is the primary bottleneck in industrial biocatalysis. Our ML-guided approach predicts stabilizing mutations with unprecedented accuracy, enabling simultaneous improvement of multiple stability parameters.

ML-Predicted Stability

Protein language models trained on thermostability data predict stabilizing mutations without experimental screening of thousands of variants.

Multi-Objective Design

Balance thermostability with catalytic activity. Our models optimize for stability without compromising enzyme function.

Process-Ready Results

Engineered for real manufacturing conditions: high temperatures, organic solvents, extreme pH, and proteolytic environments.

Validated Success

Our ML-guided designs show consistent improvements in enzyme stability across diverse enzyme classes and applications.

Stability Parameters We Engineer

Thermostability

Increase melting temperature (Tm) by 10-20°C+ through intelligent design of stabilizing mutations. Engineering approaches include disulfide bonds, salt bridges, hydrophobic core packing, and proline substitutions.

pH Tolerance

Expand operational pH range from acidic (pH 3) to alkaline (pH 11) conditions. Engineering surface charge, pKa values, and ion binding sites for robust performance in diverse process environments.

Organic Solvent Resistance

Enable catalysis in up to 40%+ organic solvents for challenging substrate solubility. Engineering surface hydrophobicity and structural rigidity for non-aqueous process conditions.

Protease & Oxidative Resistance

Engineer resistance to proteolytic degradation and oxidative inactivation for extended operational lifetime. Surface charge engineering and strategic disulfide placement protect against degradation.
