  • Publication number: 20220399082
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method includes generating a design space for a peptide for an application. The generating includes identifying sequences for the peptide, and updating the sequences by determining, for each of the sequences, a respective set of activities pertaining to the application. The updating produces updated sequences each having updated respective activities. The method includes generating, based on the updated sequences, a solution space within the design space. The solution space includes a target subset of the updated sequences. The method includes performing, using a machine learning model to process the solution space, trials to identify a candidate drug compound that represents a sequence having a level of activity that exceeds a threshold level, and determining metrics pertaining to the machine learning model and a second machine learning model that performs the trials.

  • Publication number: 20220384058
    Abstract: In one aspect, a method is disclosed for using dialects to generate candidate drug compounds. The dialects describe sequences of the candidate drug compounds and activities associated with the sequences. The method includes receiving a data set, training, using the data set, first layers of a machine learning model to determine relationships of components of a portion of a string described by a first dialect. The components pertain to amino acids associated with first activity level information of the sequences. The method includes training, using the data set and the portion of the string, a final layer to generate a remainder of the string. The remainder pertains to second activity level information of the sequences. The method includes generating, using the first and final layer, the string comprising the portion and the remainder. The string represents a candidate drug compound.
