株式会社digzyme

株式会社digzyme is a Tokyo-based enzyme development platform company. Its stated premise is that industrially useful enzymes have historically been discovered largely by chance, making enzyme development slow and costly because identifying the gene encoding an enzyme suited to a given purpose requires extensive trial and error. digzyme's approach is to interpret the large volumes of accumulated life-science research data published worldwide in order to design, in silico, enzyme genes suited to industrial applications.

The company packages this into three service lines: enzyme-oriented new-business development consulting supported by bioinformatics analysis; enzyme search, enzyme design and construction of application-specific enzyme libraries (digzyme Designed Library™); and research and development services for the manufacture and sale of enzymes and compounds, including designing production processes at an appropriate scale and volume. Services can be engaged individually or in combination. The company also publishes technical content through a TechBlog covering topics such as in silico designed enzymes for control of food and food-residue molecules, and physics-simulation-based enzyme design as a complement to AI methods.

Business model

digzyme positions itself as an enzyme development platform provider, offering consulting, bioinformatics-based enzyme discovery and design, enzyme library construction, and R&D services for enzyme and compound manufacturing, either as standalone engagements or combined.
