Small Molecule

From target structure to hits — fast and accurate.

Physics-informed AI screening pinpoints high-quality binding hits quickly and reliably across ultra-large compound libraries. From target discovery to partner-backed lead optimization, we cover the full hit-to-lead cycle.

Core Service

Docking of Millions

AI-powered large-scale virtual screening

A structure-based AI screening service that rapidly searches purchasable compound libraries and returns ranked hit candidates for your target.

Docked ligand — 3D pose
Target optimization

Target protein

Starting from the target sequence, we optimize the target — refining its 3D structure and pinpointing the binding site.

High-Throughput Screening
~100M compounds

Structure-based docking & scoring

We dock ~100M purchasable compounds against the predicted binding structure and score affinity with physics-informed AK-score2 — high-throughput screening at scale.

Output
1 CC(=O)Oc1ccccc1C(=O)O -11.4
2 COc1ccc(CN2CC...)cc1 -10.7
3 O=C(Nc1ccccc1)c1ccncc1 -10.1
4 Cc1ccc(cc1)S(N)(=O)=O -9.8
5 Clc1ccc(Nc2nccc(n2)N)cc1 -9.5

Hit candidates

A ranked list of hit candidates, prioritized by predicted binding affinity and ready to order for synthesis and testing.

Core Service

Deep MolScan

Structure-based reverse screening

A structure-based reverse-screening service that maps where a compound binds across 18,000+ human proteins — surfacing both its intended target and hidden off-targets that can drive toxicity.

One compound reverse-docked across the human proteome, with its on-target and off-target matches highlighted on-target off-target
