The ICP delivers the
scientific capacities and technological achievements of our institute to a wide
number of socio-economic sectors at both national and international levels
(companies, public organisations etc.)
via our Unit of Know-how management (UGC). Our principal objective is to
achieve that research carried out at the ICP-CSIC is transformed into a social,
economical and cultural wellbeing.

Catalyst for synthesis gas (syngas) production using carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) as precursors
2016
The CSIC, in collaboration with CONICET, has developed a novel catalyst with high porosity, high dispersion of the active phase and high resistance to temperature, for being used in water gas shift reaction and in partial oxidation of methane. The solid catalyst exhibits a high activity per mass unit, decreasing therefore the amount of solid required for the reaction.
An industrial partner interested in the use of this catalyst for syngas production, under patent licence, is sought.

Improved enzyme for metabolites and drug synthesis
2016
The Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry has generated a proteic variation of the peroxigenase from the Agrocybe aegerita fungi, with enhanced properties of catalytic activity, stability and heterologous expression capacity. The mutant enzyme has been designed to be applied in aromatic hydroxylation reactions, especially for 5’-hydroxipropranolol synthesis. Enzyme producers, or pharma companies, interested in the use of this enzyme for the production of human drug metabolites and other drugs, under patent license, are sought.
Universal method for enzyme immobilization
2016
The CSIC has designed a novel universal method for the immobilisation of enzymes which can be applied with no dependence of its size or its nature. The supports used are metal organic framework (MOFs) that entrap the protein into their solid structure. The method is simple and cheap and leads to solid biocatalyst with slight losses of their activity.
Manufacturers of enzymes and chemical companies interested in the use of this method, under patent license, are sought.Biocatalyst for 1-naphthol production
2016
The CSIC, through its Institute of Catalysis and Petrochemistry, has generated a proteic variation of the peroxigenase from the Agrocybe aegerita fungi, with enhanced properties of catalytic activity, stability and heterologous expression capacity. The mutant enzyme has been designed to be applied in aromatic hydroxylation reactions, especially for 1-naphthol synthesis, being a green alternative to the traditional chemical process.
Companies interested in the enzymatic production of 1-naphthol using this biocatalyst, under patent license, are sought.

Method for enzyme stabilisation
2016
The CSIC has developed a novel method for enzyme stabilisation that leads to biocatalyst with longer lifetime, for being used at industrial level. The method consists on coating the enzyme surface using a polymeric layer with hydrophilic nature and high viscosity. It can be applied to a variety of enzymes that can be immobilised or not. Companies interested in the use of this method for their enzymatic processes, under a patent license, are sought.
