Partnering

Design partnerships for hard targets.

Drug companies bring us a target that is hard for their current tools. We design new proteins for it, test them in our lab and hand over the best ones with all the data.

What we bring

A design platform and a lab that work as one loop, every week.

01

Proteins designed from scratch

Small designed proteins for one exact site on the target, including flat surfaces without a deep pocket.

02

A weekly lab loop

We make and screen thousands of designs each week, so a campaign learns from real data, not only from the model.

03

All the data

You get the sequences, the binding and stability results, and the design rationale for each candidate.

How a partnership works

Typical steps. Every deal is shaped around the target and the partner.

01

Target review · about 4 weeks

We look at the target structure and the site that matters, and agree on what a good candidate must do.

02

Design campaign · 3 to 6 months

Weekly design, make and test rounds, with a joint review of results every month.

03

Hand-over or co-development

The partner takes the best candidates forward, or we develop them together. Terms usually include an upfront payment, milestones and royalties.

Current partnership: KL-P1 with Aldermoor. Write to partners@keyline.xiobocreative.com.
