AI system for generating novel, high-affinity protein binders directly from target structures
AlphaProteo is Google DeepMind's generative protein design system that generates novel, high-affinity binders for diverse target proteins, including viral surface proteins (SARS-CoV-2 spike, BHRF1) and cancer-relevant receptors (VEGF-A, IL-17A, TrkA).
Generates high-affinity protein binders for diverse target proteins without initial starting fragmentsTrained on large macromolecular structure repositories and AlphaFold predictionsDemonstrates up to 300-fold higher binding affinities than prior computational design methodsExperimental success rates ranging from 9% to 88% across diverse target proteins in wet-lab biophysical assays
