Better Peptides Platform™

Scaling Peptide Production Sustainably

"The problem? The availability!"

Tackling the Urgent need for a Future-Proof Peptide Production platform

Functional bioactive peptides and proteins have an enormous yet underutilised economic potential to improve the ecological balance in several major industry sectors producing or processing biological material, be it agriculture, food, pharma, or cosmetics.

The problem? The availability!

The Better Peptide Platform aims to change that substancially and is coming head strong after conventional solid-phase peptide synthesis as the gold standard in commercial peptide production and its desastrous ecological footprint, producing tons of hazardous organic solvent waste per year, its economically unviable cost of production, and its limitations to produce truly tailor-made complex peptides at industry-relevant scales.

Features

Give your Peptides A Strategical Advantage

Linear And Circular Peptides

Modular design of the carrier fusion protein allows for the production of both, linear and circular peptides. Only few conditions apply for circulation of peptides.

Functional Molecular Design

Forward-looking carrier fusion design combines all molecular tools to simplify downstream processing.

Complex Peptides

Ideal for peptides of 20-150 amino acid length, the Better Peptides Platform closes a critical gap between solid-phase peptide synthesis and recombinant protein expression.

Native Sequences

Tailor-made Better Peptides are released from the carrier fusion protein without process-related modifications, scars or residual amino acids for native termini.  

High Yield | High Purity

Utilizing host cell biology, Better Peptides are naturally protected from modifications, available in high yields, and of high purity with minimal downstream processing.

Unrivaled Scalability

From milligrams of peptide candidates to multi-ton commerical stage peptide-based products, the range of production scale is virtually limitless.

No Hazardous Substances

The Better Peptides Platform requires no specialized chemicals (e.g. protected amino acids) and hazardous organic solvents (e.g. acetonitrile, DMF etc.).

Cost Effective

Smart molecular engineering, readily available common renewable biological resources, no need for specialized equipment or chemicals, and economy of scale contribute to keep production costs low and offer new commericially viable opportunities.

AWARDS

AWARD Winning

"Bioeconomics  provides a general, desirable, and worthwhile added benefit compared to conventional methods."

The Value of Bioeconomics

Badische Peptide und Proteine GmbH has won the Bioeconomy Innovation Award 2023 and was able to convince the attending entrepeneurs and bioscientists from a broad range of research fields of its strategical advantages for a future-oriented biobased peptide-industry build from renewable biological resources.

Sectors

Better PEptides in Agriculture

The problems associated with the widespread use of conventional chemical-synthetic crop protection are significant. The problems reach from resistence formation, hazardous residues lingering and drifting into adjacent soils and groundwater to adverse effects with far-reaching implications for biodiversity (e.g. loss of polinators) and human health (e.g. allergies and cancer).

Biologically and sustainably produced bioactive peptides and proteins have a great potential of naturally protecting sensitive crop and harvest plants from climate change related enviromental changes, such as droughts, or temporarily prepare them for pests using the plants own defence mechanisms.
In many instances, peptide-based solutions come a long way in avoiding and replacing conventional chemical herbicides, fungicides and pesticides. In cases where they can't be avoided entirely, their use can at least be reduced to a minimum.

Now, for the first time, the unrivaled scalability of our propietary Better Peptides Platform enables the widespread use of antimicrobial peptides on a commercial scale and provide a cost effective and ecologically friendly alternative to conventional crop protection.

Additionally, the Badische Peptide und Proteine GmbH in collaboration with RLP AgroScience GmbH and developed a novel peptide-based reagent for transient transfection of a diverse set of host organisms, including plants. We call the technology BPP BioportidesTM and it is as easy as watering your plant.

Does this peak your interest? Then please contact us, we are still looking for scientific partners helping us further investigate the limits of this technology under routine conditions.
