Redefining What Peptides Can Do
Proteins control nearly every biological process, yet many remain difficult to target with conventional technologies.
At Designed Biologics, we are changing that.
Our technology enables the design of peptides that recognize highly specific regions of a protein, distinguish between closely related targets, and selectively disrupt unwanted protein interactions. Combining antibody-like recognition with the versatility of smaller molecules, our peptides can be designed for a remarkable range of functions, from inhibiting disease-associated proteins to capturing, detecting, and delivering molecules to selected biological targets.
The Designed Biologics Advantage.
Unparalleled Specificity, Our Greatest Differentiator.
Specificity is at the heart of everything we do. Our proprietary platform is engineered to achieve the highest possible target selectivity, distinguishing intended protein targets from closely related structures while minimizing unwanted interactions.
Unlike approaches focused primarily on binding affinity, our technology integrates specificity directly into the peptide design process through computational negative selection and off-target screening.
Our published research demonstrates this precision, including a peptide that selectively recognizes a disease-associated protein variant while showing no detectable binding to its normal counterpart under the tested conditions.
Compact, Antibody-Like Molecules.
Our peptides, typically 30–50 amino acids in length, combine highly selective molecular recognition with the flexibility of compact, synthetically accessible molecules.
AI-Powered Speed.
Using artificial intelligence, genetic algorithms, molecular dynamics, and high-performance computing, we explore extensive sequence possibilities and identify promising candidates for experimental validation.
Versatility by Design.
Our peptides can be engineered as inhibitors, binding agents, diagnostic reagents, and molecular tools. Multiple peptides can also be designed against different regions of the same target or incorporated into multifunctional constructs.
Built for Discovery and Commercial Development.
Our repeatable technology platform supports both proprietary product development and client-driven projects across therapeutic, diagnostic, and biotechnology markets.
