- Sustainable biotech company uses advanced artificial intelligence to further the drug discovery process
LEXINGTON, MASS. – November 7, 2022 — Double Rainbow, a sustainable health care company harnessing the power of natural evolution through bioengineering to improve the quality of human health, today announced its partnership with Galixir, a biotech company that drives drug discovery through artificial intelligence.
With this agreement, Double Rainbow and Galixir will combine their respective expertise and technologies to pioneer new capabilities for natural product pathway elucidation and enzyme function prediction. Galixir is the ideal artificial intelligence partner for Double Rainbow, as the team has recently demonstrated the utility of their deep-learning-driven natural product biosynthetic pathway prediction algorithm, called BioNavi-NP,i and their drug-protein binding structure prediction tool TANKBind, developed based on trigonometry-aware neural networks.ii Double Rainbow harbors high volumes of real-world data for enzyme reactivities and specialized metabolic pathways across all kingdoms of life. Combined, the organizations will leverage their complementary expertise to develop new computational tools and workflows to discover and evolve new catalysts and elevate biosynthetic production capabilities for valuable natural products.
