Pattern screening for de novo protein

Safety and compliance screening for structural motifs and surface fingerprints against a curated library of concerns.

AI generated proteins

Evading all legacy biosecurity screenings

Tools like proteinMPNN and RFdiffusion can easily design a de novo protein (yellow) mimicking any natural patterns, including the concerning ones like an Ebola protein (blue). They share only 18% sequence similarity and therefore pass all sequence-based security screening.
