AI-Driven Protein Engineering to Improve Thermal Stability and Protein Melting Temperature
AI-Guided Melting Temperature (Tm) Optimization for Protein Engineering
Protein melting temperature (Tm) is a critical indicator of protein stability and an important parameter in enzyme engineering, therapeutic protein development, industrial biotechnology, and biopharmaceutical manufacturing.
Increasing Tm can improve enzyme lifetime, manufacturing robustness, storage stability, and operational performance under demanding process conditions.
Neoncorte Bio applies AI-driven protein engineering to support optimization of protein melting temperature through computational mutation prioritization and iterative Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) workflows.

Publications
Scientific Publication of Neoncorte Bio Team
- Modification of natural enzymes to introduce new properties and enhance existing ones is a central challenge in bioengineering. This study is focused on the development of Taq polymerase mutants that show enhanced reverse transcriptase (RTase) activity while retaining other desirable properties such as fidelity, 5′-3′ exonuclease activity, effective deoxyuracil incorporation, and tolerance to locked nucleic acid (LNA)-containing substrates.
- The transcriptomic data are being frequently used in the research of biomarker genes of different diseases and biological states. The most common tasks there are the data harmonization and treatment outcome prediction. Both of them can be addressed via the style transfer approach. Either technical factors or any biological details about the samples which we would like to control (gender, biological state, treatment, etc.) can be used as style components.
