Bio-AI Toolkit
Open tools for peptide engineering and biomaterials design, with the public structural and chemical databases wired in so a design question can be answered in one place.
What is in it
Structure and sequence
- Interactive 3-D enzyme and protein visualization
- AlphaFold structure lookup
- UniProt and PubChem record retrieval
- BLAST search and general sequence tools
Degradation and proteases
- Degradation analysis across substrate classes
- Protease specificity profiling
- MMP14 cleavage prediction
- Polymer degradation behaviour
Materials design
- Hydrogel designer
- Peptide self-assembly behaviour
- Peptide library construction
What it is for
Peptide engineering and biomaterials work involves a lot of moving between databases: a structure in one place, a sequence record in another, a cleavage motif somewhere else, and a prediction step that lives in a notebook nobody else can run. The toolkit puts those steps in one browser tab so a design question can be answered in a sitting rather than a week.
It is aimed at early design and technical diligence, the stage where the question is whether a direction is worth pursuing at all, not at replacing validated wet-lab work.
What it is not
Predictions are estimates, and the toolkit is explicit about which outputs are model-derived rather than measured. Nothing here substitutes for experimental validation, and a prediction that disagrees with a bench result is the prediction that is wrong.
Access
Open in the browser, free, no account. Built on public structural and chemical databases.
