Menten AI designs protein drugs and enzymes using quantum computing and machine learning. Their technology leapfrogs current computational methods making it possible to design previously intractable proteins. The team created the first protein design algorithm for current and near-term quantum computers and created the world’s first protein designed on a quantum computer. They are now working on 3 new proteins, including a peptide to prevent the spread of viruses like Covid-19. They have 2 paid pilot projects with multinational chemical companies and 4 LOI’s with pharma and biotech companies.

Menten AI: Generative AI for Peptide Drug Design

Introduction

Menten AI is revolutionizing peptide drug design with the world's most advanced generative AI platform for peptide therapeutics. By integrating physics-based design with generative machine learning, Menten AI overcomes historical limitations in drug design, creating novel drug-like chemical matter efficiently and with high accuracy.

Key Features

  • Physics-Based Design: Leverages first principle physics-based methods for molecular modeling.
  • Generative Machine Learning: Creates its own data to guide the design and optimization of novel peptides.
  • High Accuracy: Achieves nM potency directly from in silico design with desirable in vitro and in vivo properties.
  • Rapid Development: Delivers drug-like hit molecules in a single round of design in just 8 weeks.
  • Large Chemical Space: Designs peptide macrocycles in a larger chemical space (10^50 compared to 10^9 for high throughput platforms).

Use Cases

  • Undruggable Targets: Enables new types of drugs for currently undruggable targets.
  • Peptide Macrocycles: Ideal for undruggable and hard-to-drug targets beyond the reach of small molecules and biologics.
  • Anti-Viral Peptides: Validated by creating multiple hit molecules, including an anti-viral peptide for Covid-19.
  • Immune-Oncology Applications: Develops bi-functional molecules for the recruitment of cytotoxic immune effectors.
