Key Capabilities
- One-shot design of functional protein binders with high accuracy, powered by deep learning models specialized for protein–protein interactions.
- Generates 3D structural predictions for designed binders, including residue-level confidence metrics and binding interface maps.
- Interactive visualization of predicted complexes, with tools for analyzing binding orientation, buried surface area, and solvent accessibility.
- Comprehensive downloads of structures, binding scores, and design inputs for downstream molecular modeling or wet-lab validation.
- Supports binder design against monomeric proteins, multimers, and complex targets such as antibodies, nanobodies, and receptors.
- Flexible input modes: design from sequence, structure, or custom templates to accelerate binder discovery.
- Integrates solvent accessible surface area (SASA) calculations to assess binding energetics and interface quality.
- Optimized pipeline for speed and scalability, enabling both rapid prototyping of candidate binders and high-throughput screening workflows.
- Designed for compatibility with modern protein engineering practices, including affinity maturation and stability optimization.
- Uses a commercial friendly implementation without Rosetta.
