CD ComputaBio accelerates the identification, design, optimization, and preclinical evaluation of protein drug candidates by integrating advanced AI algorithms with our extensive expertise in structural biology, biophysics, and pharmacology.

Introduction to Protein Drugs

Protein drugs represent a significant class of biopharmaceuticals that leverage the inherent complexity and specificity of naturally occurring or engineered proteins to treat a wide array of diseases. Unlike traditional small-molecule drugs, protein drugs are typically large, complex molecules with intricate three-dimensional structures. Due to their size and structural intricacies, the manufacturing and characterization of protein drugs are considerably more complex and costly than those of small-molecule drugs. The unique advantage of protein drugs lies in their ability to address therapeutic targets that are often inaccessible to small molecules, such as protein-protein interactions or complex cellular receptors. Their inherent biological nature can also lead to mechanisms of action that are more nuanced and physiologically relevant.
