DeSCI - making science accessible

AI peptide lab
terminal.

We’re entering a new era of peptide discovery — where frontier AI can turn deeper molecular insight into faster candidate decisions, bringing autonomous lab intelligence closer to new treatments that matter.

Everyone can be a scientist

The goal: build the largest crowdsourced peptide candidate database.

Driven by autonomous agents, every submitted sequence becomes an analyzed, scored, and receipt-backed candidate in a growing peptide intelligence network. Brought on-chain through verifiable research receipts — open database can be used by researchers worldwide for novel drug discovery and treatment candidates. Each Solana Memo acts as a timestamped contribution claim — an open trail researchers can credit, inspect, and build on.

01Contribution loop

Submit peptide ideas, generate receipt-backed candidate records. If a researcher later explores that candidate, cites it, publishes around it, or builds IP from it, they can credit the original contributor.

02Quality / token loop

More trusted contributors, better data. $PepOS expands launch-phase run capacity while base submissions and browsing stay open. Reward and credit mechanics come later as receipts build the contribution graph.

03Intelligence loop

Every analyzed candidate expands PepAgent’s signal map with more examples, edge cases, motif patterns, and scoring outcomes.

Why it matters

From peptide idea to drug-discovery candidate record.

PepAgent turns a raw sequence or peptide name into a structured triage record: what it resembles, which biochemical signals look strong, which weak signals should be dropped, and what should be handed off for deeper research.

The point is credible early-stage narrowing: score the signal, expose the caveats, preserve the record, and move only the best candidates toward deeper modeling, synthesis planning, or wet-lab review.

How PeptideOS works

PepAgent designs, analyzes, scores, and logs candidate peptide ideas through a seven-stage AI workflow — then anchors the result as a SHA-256 receipt on Solana.

Specialised AI PepAgent

PepAgent designs, analyzes, and scores peptide ideas through transparent biochemical gates, reference matching, motif signals, and receipt-backed run records.

Peptide reference library

Cross-referenced sequences spanning antimicrobials, cathelicidins, defensins, cell-penetrating peptides, neuropeptides, hormones, and cyclic research candidates. Family assignments, motif patterns, and characterisation status logged per entry.

Solana-anchored receipts

Each run produces a SHA-256 receipt hash and a UTF-8 Memo payload. Connected wallets can anchor receipts to Solana mainnet via the Memo Program — no custody, explicit approval.

Research boundaries enforced

Gates, flags, and copy are scoped to research informatics. No diagnosis, therapeutic, or clinical validation claims. Flags surface when candidates fall outside characterised territory.

Analysis engine

Seven-stage specialised AI peptide workflow — scored, logged, and receipt-anchored.

01
Design

Intake peptide name, sequence, or candidate direction — prepare a PepAgent run context.

Accepts common names, reference identifiers, or raw IUPAC sequences

02
Parse

Classify input, resolve aliases and reference names, separate sequence vs candidate intent.

Resolves cathelicidin, defensin, neuropeptide names to canonical sequence form

03
Normalize

Clean residues, validate amino-acid alphabet, compute length and composition baseline.

20 standard amino-acid gate; short · medium · long band classification

04
Match

Compare against known peptide reference signals, motifs, families, and sequence similarity.

Antimicrobials · cathelicidins · defensins · CPPs · neuropeptides · cyclic peptides

05
Score

Run biochemical gates: charge, hydrophobicity, amphipathicity, cysteine bridge potential, novelty.

Specialised AI PepAgent triage with transparent biochemical gates

06
Flag

Surface cationic, hydrophobic, cysteine, proline, and novelty signals with research-boundary cautions.

10 flag types; candidates outside characterized territory are explicitly marked

07
Receipt

Compile canonical run fields into SHA-256 receipt hash and Memo-ready lab payload.

Identical inputs always produce identical hashes; anchor via Memo Program, explicit approval
