Supercharge your protein therapeutic discovery. Filter tens of thousands of candidate binders instantly and prioritize the designs most likely to succeed in the lab.

Boltz Prot-1: A New Step Forward in Protein Engineering

BoltzProt-1 is the new protein design pipeline, representing a major advance over BoltzGen. Modern generative pipelines excel at exploring enormous design spaces, frequently producing tens of thousands of candidate binders for a single target. However, because a lab can only synthesize and evaluate a tiny fraction of these candidates, the bottleneck shifts from generation to prioritization.

At this immense scale, selection is the critical step that turns a vast pool of potential shapes into the highly specific hypotheses your wet lab will actually test. BoltzProt-1 improves both sides of the design problem—generation and prioritization—ensuring your computational efforts translate directly to experimental success.

How Boltz Prot-1 Works: Direct Interaction Scoring

Most traditional design pipelines rely heavily on structural confidence metrics when ranking candidates. While structural confidence answers whether a predicted complex is geometrically plausible, it relies on a proxy signal. A candidate can look flawless in structure space and still fail to bind at the interface.

BoltzProt-1 fundamentally alters this approach by incorporating Boltz-PPI, a custom protein-protein interaction model trained on structural and patent-derived data to score proposed interactions directly. By capturing interface-level signals that structural confidence alone misses, Boltz-PPI evaluates candidates by a criterion much closer to true experimental binding.

Key Performance Benchmarks

When holding the candidate pool and experimental budget completely fixed in zero-shot nanobody design across ten novelty-controlled benchmark targets, BoltzProt-1 achieved:

• 3x Hit Rate Increase: Nearly tripled the hit rate over BoltzGen without changing the generative model or testing a single extra design.

• 2x Target Success: Doubled the number of targets that yielded a validated binder.

• High Developability: More than [XX]% of selected binders pass a stringent, multi-criteria developability panel in full, placing them on par with or ahead of clinical-stage therapeutic nanobodies.

Note on current capabilities: As a zero-shot design pipeline operating without affinity maturation on difficult, novelty-controlled targets, BoltzProt-1 does not entirely eliminate the need for downstream optimization. Zero-shot hits do not yet match the final affinity levels expected of matured therapeutic leads, and some highly challenging targets may still require further engineering. However, it significantly maximizes the value extracted from your generated pool, establishing a reliable starting point for rapid experimental discovery.
