ROBOX
The Robox project demonstrates the techno-economic viability of biotransformations of four types of robust oxidative enzymes.
The four types of robust oxidative enzymes are:
- 450 monooxygenases (P450s)
- Baeyer-Villiger monooxygenases (BVMOs)
- Alcohol dehydrogenases (ADHs)
- Alcohol oxidases (AOXs)
The two pillars for the ROBOX project are chemistry and biocatalysis. These are used for the industrial conversion and production of alcohols that have been identified to be significant to the chemical industry. ROBOX will identify and engineer robust enzymes to lead to new green chemical processes.
ROBOX has received funding from the European Union (EU) project ROBOX (grant agreement n° 635734) under EU’s Horizon 2020 Programme Research and Innovation actions H2020-LEIT BIO-2014-1.
