IREDs – Imine Reductases

Become a toolkit user

Screen the largest and most diverse collection of wild-type IREDs in the world, for free..!

Since 2017, Prozomix has been developing an ever-growing collection of novel imine reductases from its in-house proprietary metagenomics platform. Through extensive collaborations with academia over the past 7 years, the true potential of this enzyme class has been revealed! The Prozomix IRED collection currently sits at over 500 novel enzymes, and is currently being expanded to fill 2x 384 well screening plates (762 novel wild-type enzymes).
