Using Boltz-2.1 for Structure Confidence Screening in a De Novo Protein Design Workflow
How the Vecura platform runs Boltz-2.1 through the API as the structure-validation engine inside a multi-model design pipeline, folding nine designed sequences with ten sampled models each and turning per-structure confidence into a triage signal for what to carry forward.

De Novo Design of Sartan-Like AT1R Binders for Companion-Animal Kidney Health
A Vecura workflow, chaining generative small-molecule design, structure-based docking, ADMET prediction and toxicophore-constrained redesign against the angiotensin II type 1 receptor. What the platform surfaced was not a drug candidate but something more useful, a quantified account of the potency-safety tradeoff that governs this chemotype.

Can AI Replace 45 Hours of Manual Pose Inspection? A Covalent Docking Comparison
Covalent inhibitors occupy a unique space in drug discovery. By forming irreversible interactions with target residues, they can achieve sustained target engagement and prolonged pharmacological activity beyond what is often possible with non-covalent ligands. However, optimizing covalent scaffolds presents a distinct challenge: favorable binding affinity alone is insufficient. Productive activity depends on precise geometric alignment between the reactive warhead and the target nucleophile.

Can We Trust Biomedical AI Agents? Benchmarking Quality, Safety, and Reliability
Biomedical agents are different from general chatbots. They are expected to understand scientific questions, retrieve biomedical knowledge, plan workflows, call computational tools, analyze outputs, and provide safety recommendations. Because of this, evaluating only the final answer is not enough.
