Zymogens

Creative Enzymes is one of the few companies in the world that have the ability to supply a variety of zymogens. We are proudly composed of groups of brilliant scientists who are devoting themselves to high-grade products and satisfying services. Our products include different types of zymogens: human zymogens, bovine zymogens, and mouse zymogen. As a renowned supplier, Creative Enzymes offers the products with high quality and competitive cost performance. The unique and superior products distinguish Creative Enzymes from our competitors.

Zymogens are a group of proteins that display no catalytic activity but can be transformed into active enzymes within an organism. A zymogen is an inactive precursor of an enzyme, especially those that catalyze reactions involving the breakdown of proteins. Zymogens require a biochemical change, such as the change of configuration or a hydrolysis reaction to reveal the active site, to become an active enzyme. For this reason, a zymogen is also called a proenzyme.

Zymogens, rather than active enzymes, are typically secreted by the human body, because they can be stored and transported safely without harms to surrounding tissues, and released when conditions are favorable for optimal activity. Most of the digestive proteases produced in the pancreas are expressed as zymogens and retained in such form in zymogen granules. The contents of these granules are only released into the small intestine during eating, and the zymogens are only activated once they enter the small intestine. The latter step is initiated by an intestinal protease, enterokinase. For example, pepsin is synthesized in the form of pepsinogen, an inactive zymogen which is secreted by the chief cells. Pepsin becomes active once pH drops below 5, and works optimally at pH 2-3 in the acidic environment of the stomach. Activation of pepsinogen starts with the hydrocholoric acid (HCl), which is secreted by the parietal cells. The acid partially activates pepsinogen by drastically lowering pH. The partially activated pepsinogen is then completely activated and turned into pepsinby another pepsinogen through cleavage of a short peptide. Under rare circumstances, incorrect activation of these zymogens within the pancreas could result inpancreatitis and lead to devastating consequences.

Creative Enzymes serves the customers with all kinds of zymogens, which can be classified into three different sources: human, bovine, and mouse. Each species then can be subdivided into either one or more types of enzyme cascades, such as the coagulation cascade of prothrombin or protein C. The purity of all these products is above 90%, which is determined by SDS-PAGE analysis. These zymogens are considered to play critical roles in various biochemistry reactions such as calcium ion binding, peptidase activity, phospholipid binding, protein binding, and serine-type endopeptidase activity.

For many years, Creative Enzymes has been manufacturing and distributing a variety of enzymes and zymogens used in multiple research areas. By constantly striving for utmost quality, Creative Enzymes has earned the trust of countless customers, and is proud to offer highly sophisticated research products.

Coenzymes

Creative Enzymes is an innovative company that has developed new technologies to manufacture a series of coenzyme products. We are proud to provide products of utmost quality and the most reliable service to our customers. Creative Enzymes supplies various coenzymes which include nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD), adenosine diphosphate (ADP), coenzyme A (CoA), thiamine pyrophosphate (TPP), pyridoxal phosphate (PLP), tetrahydrofolate, coenzyme B, biotin, and so on.

Definition of Coenzymes

A coenzyme is a small organic molecule, but not a peptide, that binds to an enzyme and whose presence is essential to the activity of the enzyme. It is considered to be an assistant molecule for biochemical reactions. Coenzymes provide a transfer site for a functioning enzyme in most cases. It often functions as an intermediate carrier of electrons, specific atoms, or functional groups, allowing a reaction to occur. Coenzymes are usually not a part of an enzyme’s structure or the substrate of the reaction. The coenzyme may either be a prosthetic group— a tightly bound coenzyme—or a co-substrate, which is a loosely bound small organic molecule. An inactive enzyme without the cofactor is called an apoenzyme, while the complete enzyme with cofactor is called a holoenzyme.

Coenzymes, Cofactors, and Prosthetic Groups

Some textbooks regard all assistant molecules that bind to an enzyme as cofactors, while others divide these chemicals into three groups:

  • Coenzymes are small non-protein, organic molecules that bind to an enzyme. Many coenzymes are vitamins or derivatives of vitamins. While some other coenzymes are built around adenosine monophosphate (AMP).
  • Cofactors are small non-protein chemicals or metallic ions that can aid an enzyme function and increase the rate of the catalytic reaction. Cofactors can be subdivided intoin organic ions, complex organic molecules, and metallo-organic molecules which can also be called coenzymes. A cofactor that is tightly or even covalently bound to an enzyme is sometimes termed as a prosthetic group. Typical cofactors are considered to be the metal ions. Even some metallic elements have no nutritional value, several trace elements function as cofactors in multiple biochemical reactions, such as iron, zinc, magnesium, and copper. However, some trace elements that play a part in nutrition do not appear to act as cofactors, including chromium, iodine, and calcium.
  • Prosthetic groups are organic partner molecules that bind tightly or covalently to the enzyme and participate in the catalytic cycles of enzymes, such as Flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD).

Overall, different sources give various definitions of coenzymes, cofactors, and prosthetic groups. Some consider the tightly bound organic molecules as prosthetic groups and not as coenzymes, while others define all non-protein organic molecules bind to enzymes as coenzymes and classify those that are tightly bound as coenzyme prosthetic groups. Therefore,it should be noted that these three terms are oftenexchangeableand used loosely.

Our passion for superb and unique products is only exceeded by our excellent reputation in the marketplace. Creative Enzymes has earned the trust of countless customers and never stops pursuing the highest level of customers’ satisfaction.

Lipids

Creative Enzymes is a leading biotech company which takes responsibility to perfect and simplify your research processes. We supply products specialized for biomedical research, and we are well known for exceptional expertise, professional processes, extraordinary performance, and cost-effective products. All of our products are guaranteed with high purity and technical support.

Lipid is one of the three major substances in organisms with vital biophysical functions. Firstly, lipid is the main storage form of energy and plays a key role in energetic conversion and transportation. Second, lipids contribute to the absorption of the fat-soluble vitamins. Third, lipids are important components of the bio-membrane system. In order to support your research, Creative Enzymes offers a variety of lipid products of different classifications, including phospholipids, sphingolipids, and sterols. In addition, we also provide natural and synthetic lipids as well as other unique lipids to meet special requests.

Phospholipids

Phospholipids are usually composed of fatty acids and glycerol. Besides, they may also contain a phosphoric acid, nitrogen bases, and other substituents. Due to the possession of one hydrophilic head and a non-polar tail, they are also called polar lipids. Phospholipids are amphipathic in nature and can be divided into three groups, phosphoglycerides, phosphoinositides, and phosphosphingosides. Among them, phosphoglycerides are major phospholipids which contain glycerol groups linked with both phosphoric acid and fatty acids.

Sphingolipids

Sphingolipids are a group of lipids which contain a series of aliphatic amino alcohols as the backbone, including sphingosine. Sphingolipids have wide distributions ranging from yeasts to mammals. In signal transmission and cell recognition, sphingolipids have indispensable roles. Once sphingolipids metabolism becomes disordered, it will arouse huge impacts on neural tissues. The simplest sphingolipids are ceramides, which have been found useful in topic medicines and cosmetic products. Glycolipids are a large group of sphingolipids which contain sugar molecules in their structures.

Steroids and Terpenes

Steroids contain the backbone of cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene with four hydrocarbon rings in their structures. They widely exist in tissues of animals and plants and have vital significance in living activities. Steroids include sterol and its derivations. Zymosterol, zoosterol, and phytosterol are the three major forms of sterol. Phytosterol is involved in metabolism of plants. Cholesterol, one of the zoosterols, plays an important role in sustaining the physical state of biomembrane. Besides, it is involved in atherosclerosis. Bile acid and vitamin D are the commonly seen sterol derivations, both of which are important to the growth and development.

Terpenes are linear or cyclic hydrocarbons that are chemically related to steroids: they are often the precursor of steroids in biosynthesis. Although terpenes are in small quantities in cell, it has pivotal biology functions in cell signaling, metabolism, and biosynthesis. In addition, terpenes are also useful active ingredients in agricultural pesticides.

Natural, Modified, and Synthetic Lipids

With the development in extraction methods, more possibilities have been provided to exploration on applications of natural lipids. Natural lipids have potentials in food processing and health products manufacturing. However, the structural diversity is limited in natural lipids, as they are generated by organisms for certain biological functions. Therefore, natural lipids are often chemically modified to provide new properties and functions, thus known as modified lipids or semi-synthetic lipids. Modified lipids are useful tools in research, but limited in pharmaceutical and medical applications due to low thermostability and possible contamination from the animal or plant source. Synthetic lipids are chemically prepared from glycerol. The chemical route leads to even more diverse structures and high purity, which satisfy the special needs in the pharmaceutical industry.

Fluorescent Lipids & Bioactive Lipids

Fluorescent and bioactive lipids are involved in the pathological studies, including signal transduction and cell membrane function. These products are attached with additional functions other than the natural functions of lipids, such as fluorescent reporting and signaling and therefore widely used in biological studies and drug development.

Cationic & Neutral Lipids

Some uncommon lipids such as polymerizable lipids, cationic lipids, and neutral lipids are rear to find but critical to some pioneering studies. We provide these unique products to support your innovative research. Our products are available in various specifications and purities.

In general, lipid products are a rising research field due to their physiological functions and chemical characteristics. To facilitate research on various lipids, Creative Enzymes offers high-purity lipid products including phospholipids, sphingolipids, steroids, and terpenes. Some research also needs uncommon lipids to study the structural effects, and Creative Enzyme is able to provide natural lipids, synthetic lipids, and modified lipids to meet such demands. The reliance of our customers drives us to develop more original and special products. We will continue expanding our product list and really hope to provide you the most suitable products.

Extracts

Creative Enzymes is a reliable supplier which offers various kinds of extracts of the highest-quality, mainly including plant extracts. Besides, we also supply animal extracts, vegetarian powder, mushroom extracts, etc.

Plant extracts are a class of plant-derived active materials, which exert one or multiple biological functions such as growth promotion, antioxidant, anti-virus, and immunological enhancement etc. Plant extracts are the main raw materials of botanical preparations which can be applied in nutritional supplements, health ingredients, cosmetics, processing aids, additives-chemical replacers, and pharmaceutical for therapeutic properties and other industries. Plant extracts are the core goods in the market of natural medicines and health products.

The plant extract is an emerging industry. In fact, it has been only a short period of ten years from the emergence to the present. In the early nineteenth century, some European countries began to produce and use plant extracts, but only in the budding state not a scale, not to mention to form an industry. These products set off a frenzy of “return to nature” in the world in the early eighties of the nineteenth century, when researchers got an increasing interest in natural herbs to receive a sense of security after finding the side effects of chemical synthetic drugs. Consequently, production and consumption of plant extracts developed rapidly and irresistibly. Then, Germany, Britain, the United States, Italy and other countries begun to produce plant extracts and used them in the health food derived from traditional Chinese medicines. However, the real rise of plant extracts was in 1994. After the release of DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994) in the United States, FDA officially accepted plant extracts as the food supplement to use, making the development of plant extracts really upgrade. The market and industry of Plant extracts are currently experiencing the continuous rapid growth as the environmental and social conscience becomes more audible in a wide population. Research on the benefits, diverse effects, and long-term impacts on health also closely follows the development of new products.

Overall, Creative Enzymes provides a variety of extracts to facilitate such research, including plant extracts, mushroom extracts, animal extracts, fruit powder, vegetable powder, and vegetarian protein. Generally, plant extracts can be classified into various groups, such as natural active component monomer, standard herb extracts, the ratio of extracts and licorice products etc. Each group of our products is of high purity and quality, which is trusted and proven in the global market. The manufacturing process is strictly controlled by corresponding standards in each step from selection of materials to product delivery. Everything at Creative Enzymes proves the core value “The quality is our life”. Sensitive testing equipment such as chromatography and spectrometers and professional quality control teams are the fundamental means of QC.

Enzyme discovery with bioinformatic tools and HT techniquesFigure 1. Main Strategies for Novel Enzymes Discovery
(Bioprocess and Biosystems Engineering 2017)

Enzymes have found applications as biocatalysts with high efficiency and selectivity in manifold fields of chemistry and biology. Yet, only a small portion of natural enzymes have been exploited industrially. Traditional strategies to isolate novel enzymes from wild-type strains, including DNA extraction, heterologous protein expression and a generic assay, are usually time-consuming and with limited sensitivity. Creative Enzymes has built professional high-throughput platforms for enzyme discovery with significant advantages:

  • Advanced bioinformatic tools and genome mining approaches
  • Metagenomic libraries construction
  • High throughput screening, analysis and characterization
  • Statistical design of experiments
  • Seamless separation and purification
  • Enzyme de novo identification

Strategies for enzyme discovery from nature can be categorized into two main methodologies, which could be combined for best results. The first involves direct detection of the desired enzymatic activity. Based on next-generation sequencing (NGS) methods, Creative Enzymes constructs metagenomic libraries and develops high-throughput screening for enzymatic activity. The second strategy involves function prediction and in silico screening. Creative Enzymes applies genome mining approaches for enzyme discovery based on similarities of their DNA sequences or 3D structures to those of known activity. We also investigate interactions among different enzymes in case a series of enzymes need to stay in the system for the best performance.

FAQ:
Q1: Can I use an “existing” protocol for my enzyme assay?

It is to be noted that all enzymes reach their optimum activity under different conditions, whereas in a high-throughput screening, one single reaction condition is often used. As a result, the differences in the activity levels of enzymes may be true only in the current condition and cannot be used for quantitative comparison. Another challenge that frequently troubles researchers is that detection of formation of the product or the consumption of the substrate could be strongly disturbed by other ingredients in the reaction matrix, such as inactive solutes or other enzymes. In such cases, the signal to noise ratio must be considered for accurate measurement. Proper selection of the detection method and parameters often gives solutions to such problems.

Creative Enzymes has been a pioneer in the enzymology assay area. We served customers to optimize a product or to set a solid foundation for further research. You can find any level and scale of enzymology assays available at Creative Enzymes.

FAQ:
Q1: Why should I modify my enzyme?

The existing enzymes can go through certain structural alterations and hence, the resulted function and catalytic activity allow new catalyzed pathways of reactions. In addition, modification could also enhance biochemical properties, pharmacokinetics, and stability. Enzymes can be physically modified in immobilization and encapsulation. Researchers also extent naturally occurring chemical reactions of enzymes to other chemicals such as polymers, aldehydes, imidoesters and anhydrides, to give enzymes more divers properties. In addition, chemists have developed a large set of reactions that label the enzymes through post-expression modifications. Many properties of an enzyme may be modified to achieve the objective:

Enzyme conjugates with different moelcules.Figure 1 Protein conjugation with other molecules.
(Chemical Reviews 2018)

Enzymes are used as signal generating reporters when conjugating to other molecules. Various reporter enzymes, such as horseradish peroxidase (HRP), Alkaline phosphatase (AP) and many others, can be attached to antibodies, proteins and nucleic acid for applications in immunoassays and biosensors. Also, enzymes can be modified with conjugation for desired properties and functions, especially stability. In pharmaceutical applications, these conjugates can be used as smart “vehicles” for drug delivery. To meet various requirements from customers, Creative Enzymes has built professional and updated enzyme conjugation platforms with plenty of advantages:

  • Nearly 1:1 ratio of enzyme to interested target
  • Optimized sample preparation and conjugation
  • High product yield and purity
  • Strict validation and characterization
  • Scale-up production up to kilograms

Enzymes can be conjugated with other molecules via chemical, enzymatic, or chemoenzymatic formation of new covalent bonds. Usually, small linkers such as glutaraldehyde or protein tags are used in these conjugations. Those enzyme conjugates to one or multiple types of molecules based on applications in different fields. For immunoassays and other related applications, Creative Enzymes provides “activated” enzymes in purified, activated, and kit formats for easy conjugation. For specific applications in pharmaceutical/non-pharmaceutical industry, Creative Enzymes offers desired enzyme conjugates with developed purification and scale-up procedures. Creative Enzymes also has the ability to conduct characterization and validation of target conjugates product.

FAQ
Q1: Do I need enzyme stabilization & formulation as part of product development?

A: Enzyme formulation is one last and important step in commercializing an enzyme containing product. Nonetheless, the step has not yet received enough notice for its key role in effectively delivering the intended performance of the product. The main purpose of formulation is to preserve the enzyme in a ready-to-use form until consumed by the customer. Many companies spent a significant amount of resource and time on developing and testing the new enzyme product in details to deliver perfect biochemistry. However, final customers are only interested in the safety, stability, and aesthetics of the products on the shelf. Therefore, the product is only completed when it goes into the final package. At Creative Enzymes, we understand the importance of stable enzyme activity and will help you keep the enzymes stable during long-term storage. We also perform proper aging tests that predict the shelf life of an enzyme product using acceleration tests and kinetic models. In the end, we are happy to develop and optimize the product formulation for a specific enzyme.
