The science behind the predictions.

Molecular learning, mechanistic interpretation and experimental feedback.

01

How predictions are built

Learning chemistry at molecular scale

A pretrained graph neural network learns patterns in atoms, bonds and their surroundings, turning molecular structure into a rich numerical representation.

Opsin builds on this foundation with models trained for specific biological mechanisms, connecting molecular patterns to experimental outcomes.

  1. Molecular structure

    With biological context

  2. Learned representations

    Encode chemistry and biology

  3. Predictive models

    Learn from experimental data

  4. Mechanistic interpretation

    Connect properties to response

02

How confidence is assessed

A prediction is only useful when you understand its limits.

  • Tested on unseen chemistry

    Held-out chemical series challenge generalisation.

  • Uncertainty and applicability

    See how confident a prediction is, and where the model applies.

03

How models improve

Each experimental round adapts the models to your programme.

  1. Your assay results

  2. Model adaptation

  3. Next experiment

  4. New results

Learn. Refine. Repeat.
