AI-Driven Multi-Objective Optimization for High-Performance Protein Design

AI-Driven Pareto Optimization for Protein Engineering

Engineering proteins for commercial applications rarely involves optimizing a single property.

Industrial enzymes and therapeutic proteins often require simultaneous improvements in catalytic activity, stability, manufacturability, expression, specificity, and process robustness.

Because these objectives can compete with one another, improving one characteristic may reduce another.

Neoncorte Bio applies AI-guided Pareto optimization principles to identify protein variants that provide the best balance across multiple engineering objectives, enabling more efficient development of commercially valuable proteins.

Why Multi-Objective Optimization Matters

Successful commercial proteins must balance multiple characteristics, including:
  • Catalytic activity
  • Thermostability
  • pH stability
  • Solvent tolerance
  • Oxidative stability
  • Substrate specificity
  • Enantioselectivity
  • Recombinant expression
  • Solubility
  • Aggregation resistance
  • Operational lifetime
  • Manufacturability
Optimizing these properties independently can increase development time and lead to suboptimal overall performance.
A Pareto-based engineering strategy enables more balanced protein design.

AI-Guided Pareto Optimization Workflow

Neoncorte Bio combines artificial intelligence with computational protein engineering to evaluate multiple performance objectives simultaneously.
Our workflow integrates:
  • AI-guided sequence analysis
  • Structural biology
  • Computational protein design
  • Machine learning
  • Design-Build-Test-Learn (DBTL) workflows
  • Experimental feedback
Instead of selecting variants based on a single score, we prioritize candidates that deliver the best overall combination of desirable properties.

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.
