Description

2-Tridecanone Monooxygenase F. Pseudom. Cepacia, ~0.5 U/G* is a highly specific biocatalyst, an enzyme derived from *F. pseudomallei* (formerly *Pseudomonas cepacia*), designed for the selective oxidation of 2-tridecanone. This enzyme matters for its role in facilitating precise, stereoselective reactions under mild conditions, offering a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical synthesis. It is essential for researchers and manufacturers in the fields of fine chemical synthesis, pharmaceutical intermediate production, and biocatalysis research, where high selectivity and process efficiency are critical.

Application

• Biocatalytic Synthesis: Key catalyst for the production of chiral alcohols and ketones used as pharmaceutical intermediates.
• Fine Chemical Manufacturing: Enables selective oxidation steps in the synthesis of complex organic molecules for agrochemicals and flavors.
• Metabolic Pathway Studies: Used in biochemical research to study microbial degradation pathways of methyl ketones.
• Enzyme Engineering & Screening: Serves as a model enzyme or starting point for directed evolution to develop novel biocatalysts.
• Green Chemistry Processes: Implements environmentally friendly oxidation reactions, reducing the need for heavy metal catalysts.
• Diagnostic Reagent Development: Potential use in enzymatic assays for detecting specific substrates or enzyme activity.

Quality Control

Our 2-Tridecanone Monooxygenase is produced and tested under stringent quality management protocols to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and performance. Each lot is characterized for specific activity and purity. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) is provided, detailing parameters such as activity, protein content, and stability. We adhere to relevant ISO guidelines to support research and industrial applications requiring reliable enzyme performance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store at -20°C or below for long-term stability. This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is sealed tightly after each use to prevent moisture absorption. For short-term use, keep at 2-8°C. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.
