About Us

Quantumzyme is a biotransformation company, focused on clean and green chemistry. Customer centric research to enhance enzyme activity, selectivity and specificity by applying novel quantum mechanics, molecular modelling and engineering approaches.

Quantumzyme’s uniqueness lies in its advanced framework QZyme WorkbenchTM that offers advanced solutions for specific biocatalysis requirements. QZyme WorkbenchTM has been acknowledged by customers worldwide in creating designer enzymes that has achieved remarkable results at an industrial scale.

Our Vision

Clean and Green
A clean environment ensures healthy living for our current and future generations. The more careless we are towards the environment, the more polluted it will become with toxins and hazardous chemicals. This will have an impact on all life on our planet. Quantumzyme's vision is to promote a clean, healthy and well protected environment supporting a sustainable society and economy.

Our Mission

Simplify Complex Chemistry
We realize our vision by developing a focused approach to aid all chemical companies to harness the power of technology in simplifying complex chemistry and reducing the number of steps by implementing scientific rationale like quantum mechanics in biology. As often misquoted, Einstein's objection to God playing dice, we believe in mathematical laws of nature, respect nature's efficiency in biomolecular processes and give our best utilizing limited resources, computing all possibilities.

Our Values

  • Integrity
  • Ethics
  • Customer Centric
  • Reliability

Professor Nicholas Turner

Department of Chemistry

Manchester Institute of Biotechnology, U.K. England

Prof. Turner's research in general is based on biochemistry and organic chemistry, specifically on biotechnology, cell biology, biocatalysis and organic synthesis. Prof. Turner’s group combine enzyme discovery with protein engineering and directed evolution methods in order to develop biocatalysts with tailored properties including high (stereo) selectivity, improved activity and enhanced stability. These biocatalysts, which include amine/alcohol oxidases, imine reductases, lyases, transaminases and monooxygenases, are then applied to the synthesis of a range of target molecules especially pharmaceuticals and fine chemicals.
