UseCase 01
Medical Innovations
Drug Development & Protein Research
The development of new drugs is a ray of hope for patients and has always been of great importance. Protein research also plays an important role in the development of new drugs.

UseCase 02
Agricultural Advances
Food Security & Crop Improvement
Increasing crop yields is important in modern agriculture, where food shortages are a concern. Proteins related to photosynthetic efficiency and resistance to pests and diseases play a major role in food production challenges. Research into these proteins is expected to help solve food problems.

UseCase 03
Sustainable Industry
Efficient & Eco-friendly Production
In industry, environmentally friendly development and efficient production have always been important issues. By utilizing various enzymes, efficient production with less chemical pollution has become possible. Research on such proteins increases the possibility of achieving both reduced environmental impact and mass production.
Proteins, which have a wide range of applications in fields such as medicine and agriculture, are an important research subject, and many researchers are working to improve their functions. When improving proteins, there is a need to improve multiple functions in order to broaden their range of applications. Furthermore, it is also expected to increase yields and other factors in existing protein fields. Functions that require improvement include enzymatic activity, thermal stability, pH resistance, substrate specificity, and solubility. For example, if an enzyme with high thermal stability and improved enzymatic activity is obtained, it can be used under high temperature conditions, making it possible to catalyze the desired reaction more quickly than before. However, it is known to be difficult to simultaneously improve protein functions. Methods such as "directed evolution" and "rational design" are used to improve proteins, but due to time and financial constraints and the need for high levels of expertise, these methods are not easily adoptable by everyone.
