Description

Cyclopentanone Monooxygenase F. Pseudo- Monas Sp.,~10 U/G* is a highly specific biocatalyst enzyme derived from a Pseudomonas species, designed for the selective oxidation of cyclopentanone and related cyclic ketones. This enzyme matters for its critical role in enabling efficient, stereoselective biotransformations, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical synthesis routes. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, fine chemical, and fragrance industries who require precise oxidative functionalization for intermediate synthesis. The product is supplied as a lyophilized powder with an activity of approximately 10 units per gram.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediate Synthesis: Key biocatalyst for the regio- and stereoselective oxidation steps in the production of complex drug molecules and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Used in the synthesis of chiral lactones, esters, and other high-value specialty chemicals where traditional chemical methods lack selectivity.
• Biocatalysis Research & Development: An essential tool for enzymologists and process chemists developing novel green chemistry pathways and optimizing bioprocesses.
• Fragrance and Flavor Industry: Facilitates the production of specific aroma compounds and flavoring agents through selective ketone oxidation.
• Environmental Biotechnology: Potential application in the biodegradation and bioremediation of specific ketone-based pollutants.
• Academic and Industrial Enzyme Studies: Serves as a model enzyme for studying monooxygenase mechanisms, kinetics, and protein engineering.

Quality Control

Our enzyme products are manufactured and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance reliability. Each lot is characterized for specific activity, protein content, and purity. Certificates of Analysis (COA) detailing assay results, physical appearance, and stability data are provided with every shipment and are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. For long-term stability, store at -20°C or below. This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container should be allowed to equilibrate to room temperature before opening to minimize moisture uptake. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area.
