ROBOX Engages more young scientists at ACIB

Our partner TU Graz hosted a school visit – Basics of Biotechnology for 13-14 year old school scientists. In three exercises, they experienced different laboratory techniques: streaking and growing microorganisms like bakers yeast, isolating DNA from fruits and vegetables and simulating a protein engineering exercise by doing a colorimetric assay on active and inactive clones.…

See new video by ROBOX coordinator

ROBOX has this information video with coordinator Marco Fraaje introducing the project and delivering an overview of WP1 Enzyme engineering and identification of oxidative enzymes Aim We will exploit the current knowledge of structural and mechanistic properties of monooxygenases and oxidases to develop enzyme redesign to deliver robust enzymes using state-of-the art methodologies for predicting…

Methanol Independent Expression by Pichia Pastoris Employing De-repression Technologies

Our partners from Graz have published this useful video explaining their work on Methanol Independent Expression by Pichia Pastoris Employing De-repression Technologies For the first time this method describes reliable experimental procedures for efficient inducible methanol-free recombinant protein production in Pichia pastoris (Komagataella phaffii), employing the carbon source regulated promoters PDC and PDF in small…

See our recent publication describing supported Bayer-Villiger Monooxygenase

ROBOX latest results describe the use of supported TmCHMO that was successfully immobilized and co-immobilized with GDH-Tac for the first time onto an amino functionalized support. this was demonstrated in a new process for the enzymatic oxidation of 3,3,5-trimethylcyclohexanone by co-immobilized TmCHMO and GDH-Tac. The co-immobilized biocatalyst was re-used up to 15 cycles reaching 83%…
