Our Science

 

Proprietary Enzymes

Advances in genomic sequencing technologies have enabled the discovery of thousands of natural proteases with diverse functions and specificity. Digestiva’s technology is founded on a large, proprietary class of protease enzymes that are highly efficient in improving protein digestibility.

 

Bioinformatics & Structure-Based Enzyme Design

Using state-of-the-art computational modeling techniques, we can rapidly reprogram our proteases to be highly specific and efficient in digesting targeted protein sources. By optimizing protease-food pairings, we create protein utilization efficiencies unmatched by any current market solutions.

 

AI-Enabled Enzyme & Bioactive Peptide Discovery

Our team of experts is experienced in digitizing protein structural information and protease characterization data, allowing machine learning to tease out the best protease-food pairings to maximize the health benefits locked in our foods. The amino acids and peptides uniquely released from these protease-food pairings can significantly alter a food’s nutritional value and its physiological effects.
