Protein Fitness Models

Learn a sequence-to-property model from a few dozen measured variants on protein language model embeddings, and map every single substitution

Hardware and price

Price per run

What a typical run reserves from your wallet: the catalog's expected runtime on each piece of hardware × your plan's per-second rate. Larger inputs reserve more, and you're charged only for the seconds the job actually runs.

In workflows

Chain it with other steps.

Each input and output has a data kind, so the builder only connects steps that fit.

Inputs

  • Table (list) · optionalCSV, TSV, JSON
  • Protein sequences · optionalFASTA, RAW

Outputs

  • ArchiveZIP
  • TableCSV
  • TableCSV
  • Trained modelOPAQUE

Run via API

Submit it from your own code.

Use an API key from your account. The estimate uses your plan's rates; submitting reserves that amount from your wallet.

# Estimate the reservation for your plan (payload fields: see the API reference)
curl -X POST https://api.cognichem.com/api/v1/jobs/estimate \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $COGNICHEM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"job_type": "train-protein-fitness", "resource": "a10", "payload": {}}'

# Submit (retrying with the same Idempotency-Key never submits twice)
curl -X POST https://api.cognichem.com/api/v1/jobs/submit \
  -H "X-Api-Key: $COGNICHEM_API_KEY" \
  -H "Idempotency-Key: $(uuidgen)" \

Custom Modeling

  • MPNN Models

    Fast structure-property inference that highlights key molecule substructures

  • QSAR Models

    Compare random forest, LightGBM, Gaussian process and other QSAR models on your data and keep the best

  • Custom ADMET Models

    Adapt ADMET-AI predictions to your own assay: recalibrate an endpoint onto your units, or stack a model on all 41 predictions

  • Target Rescorer

    Learn a target-specific score from Vina, GNINA, Boltz-2, MM-GBSA and PLIP signals on your measured compounds, and see which signals predict activity

  • Active Learning

    Pick the next batch of compounds to make from your measurements, balancing predicted value, uncertainty and diversity

  • Reaction Models

    Predict reaction yield, selectivity and rates from atom-mapped reactions and their conditions
