RevolKa will create highly functional proteins by using AI-driven platform
TOKYO: RevolKa Ltd., a venture-backed biotech company providing a game-changing protein engineering technology platform (Norio Hamamatsu, President and CEO) signed a master service agreement with Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. (Hiroyuki Okuzawa, President and COO). RevolKa will create and deliver highly functional proteins, in collaboration with Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd. by using its proprietary protein engineering platform technology, called aiProtein®: a robust directed protein evolution technology integrated with artificial intelligence (AI). Details of this agreement and financial terms were not disclosed.
About aiProtein® Technology
RevolKa’s proprietary technology, aiProtein® is an AI-assisted directed evolution of proteins. Naturally occurring protein is a linear polymer of amino acids and their derivatives, which folds into a tertial structure through internal complex atomic interactions to show biological function. Proteins have evolved to biologically functional molecules over hundreds of millions of years. The relationship between protein sequence, structure, and function in those highly functioned molecules remains poorly understood to rationally design a protein sequence for a particular function. Our AI engine is trained with sequence-function relationship data to statistically predict sequences for an evolved protein function. Furthermore, aiProtein® can evolve more than two functions simultaneously. This technology is a powerful and cost-effective tool for the creation of novel and highly-optimized proteins for pharmaceutical and industrial uses.
