WHAT YOUR LAB GETS

From structure to measurement plan

01 / ANALYSIS

Candidates with evidence

Sequence and structure comparison, functional-site checks and Foldiff and ThermoMPNN predictions with explicit disagreements.

02 / PREPARATION

Your first variant series

Select single substitutions, a WT control and replicates. Review combination and primer designs with stated limits and exports.

03 / FEEDBACK

Measurements and next steps

Enter results or import CSV, compare with WT and check activity separately. For pH, view a curve and observed maximum.

WORKED EXAMPLE

Subtilisin and thermitase

The saved example starts with 150 differences and applies structure and functional filters. Eight candidates remain for experimental selection; the predictors disagree on some variants.

SCOPE

A research tool for enzymes

When it helps

When you know the protein, have a suitable structure and need a reasoned choice of variants for a first experiment. The workspace also compares homologs and plans activity measurements across pH values.

What the laboratory establishes

A substitution’s actual effect, retained activity and transfer to your conditions. Predicted ΔΔG cannot be converted into a guaranteed temperature or activity gain.

FOR LABORATORIES

One enzyme.
A clear success criterion.

For a pilot, prepare the protein, goal, application conditions, construct and assay method. Start with a public entry and worked example.

Current research beta

Calculations, series planning and measurement analysis are available in the workspace. Experiment series stay in your browser. Download CSV and JSON; manually restore JSON on another device.

Frequently asked questions

Does the service make an improved enzyme?

It proposes candidates and evidence for testing. Constructs are made and tested in the laboratory; a prediction alone cannot confirm an effect.

Do I need to run AlphaFold?

Supported entries use existing AlphaFold DB structures. Predicting structures for other sequences is on the roadmap.

Can I bring experiment results back?

Yes, manually or through CSV. The service calculates means, spread and differences from WT. Uploaded measurements do not automatically retrain the model.
