Technology

MetGen is a "white" biotech company that uses it proprietary technology and the modern tools of rational strain design and rational evolution to develop fine, specialty and large volume chemicals.

MetGen, using proprietary know-how, is
  • developing new strains and fermentation technologies with unique properties. New strains and technologies will be licensed out to chemical and pharmaceutical companies and generate cash flow.
  • providing intermediates for drugs and other fine chemicals using MetGen proprietary technology.
  • providing industrial enzymes (specialty chemicals) for pulp and paper and other biomass-related industries.
  • developing specialized chemicals from hemicellulose and lignin by-products.
Metkinen Chemistry know-how is not technical improvements of the methods exploited by the competitors, but rather a ride on the rising wave of proteome research, instead of the weakening wave of genome research.

Metkinen Chemistry mutagenesis method "Smart codon permutator" is based on the rational selection of gene sites to be mutated and chemical synthesis of representative oligo libraries.



MetGen proprietary Smart Codon Permutator and Sequence Blender Technology provide significant advantage over existing approaches in regards to selectivity, productivity and eventually costs of desired industrial enzymes or microorganisms.
