Start with the experimental decision
Protein-engineering teams can face hundreds, thousands, or millions of possible variants. You do not need to test all of them. You need better answers to questions such as:
Which variants should we test next?
Which variants should we stop advancing?
Which experimental measurements are most informative?
Which sequence or structural patterns recur across campaigns?
Where is the model confident?
Where do we need additional experimental data?
StrataBio is being built to support those decisions.
Initial commercial use cases
Protein Stability Intelligence
Combine sequence, structure, and experimental stability measurements to prioritize proteins with more favorable measured stability profiles.
AI-Assisted Variant Prioritization
Use protein-design models together with experimental outcomes to reduce the number of candidates requiring wet-lab testing.
Stability-Constrained Protein Engineering
Add experimentally measured stability as a complementary fitness dimension alongside the functional assays protein-engineering teams already perform.
Critical Minerals & Rare-Earth Recovery
Metal-binding proteins may offer new biological approaches to critical-mineral recovery and separation. But industrial use requires more than binding affinity alone.
Proteins may need to remain stable under challenging conditions involving:
- •Acidic environments
- •Competing ions
- •Elevated temperature
- •Repeated-use cycles
- •Other process stresses
StrataBio is interested in how experimentally measured protein durability could help inform the engineering of metal-binding proteins for critical-material applications.
Potential future questions include:
- Which variants remain stable under acidic recovery conditions?
- How does durability affect binding performance over repeated cycles?
- Can sequence, structure, and process-condition data help prioritize more robust metal-binding proteins?
This is an emerging research and partnership area, not a currently validated commercial capability.
