Deterministic physics for drug discovery

ATOM-B analyzes functional regions of proteins using discrete physical maps, enabling the identification of cavities, active sites and therapeutic regions with speed, precision and traceability.

The current dilemma

Computational discovery faces two limits

Today's platforms often choose between costly physical simulations or statistical models dependent on historical data. ATOM-B proposes a third path: fast, auditable discrete physical analysis.

Physical simulations
Molecular Dynamics

Strong physical rigor, but applying them to full systems can require high compute cost and long runtimes.

Generative
AI

Accelerates exploration, but may depend on historical data and lose predictive power for understudied or novel targets.

The approach

ATOM-B analyzes only what physically matters

Instead of simulating the whole molecular system, ATOM-B identifies only the regions that influence the interaction between a protein and a potential drug.

ATOM-B keeps the rigor of traditional physical methods, while reducing unnecessary computation by focusing on cavities, interfaces, channels, active sites and functional regions.

Fast

Processing designed to run in seconds or minutes depending on structural complexity.

Physics-grounded

Based on geometric, electrostatic and directional observables.

Auditable

Every prediction can be traced back to the voxel-level physical values that generated it.

How it works

From a protein structure to an auditable functional map

ATOM-B turns a molecular structure into physical maps that allow teams to locate, classify and compare functional regions.

1

3D protein

Start from an experimental or modeled protein structure.

2

Voxel evaluation

The molecular space is split into small 3D volumes.

3

Pocket Map + Scaffold Map

Cavities, channels, interfaces and key structural regions are classified.

4

Traceable output

Every prediction preserves its physical origin for review and audit.

Physical analysis

What does each voxel analyze?

ATOM-B evaluates three fundamental properties of each molecular region.

Geometric confinement

Measures how accessible, deep, or protected a space is within a protein.

Local electrostatic gravity

Evaluates predominant chemical forces that may favor or hinder molecular interaction.

Directional gradient vector

Analyzes direction and magnitude of forces that guide a therapeutic molecule approach.

Outputs

Results ready for analysis, comparison and decision

ATOM-B turns protein structures into actionable information for research teams, biotech and pharma.

Pocket Map

Map of cavities, binding sites, channels and relevant interfaces.

Scaffold Map

Classification of rigid, flexible, exposed or overpacked regions.

Pharmacophoric centers

Identification of functional points where therapeutic interaction may occur.

Auditable report

Traceable explanation of each prediction based on discrete physical properties.

Interoperable files

Export-ready outputs for docking, structural analysis or rational design workflows.

Capabilities

A platform for early-stage SBDD decisions

ATOM-B is designed to support early phases of structure-based drug discovery.

Cavity detection

Locates pockets and functional spaces within proteins.

Druggability assessment

Prioritizes regions with therapeutic potential.

Allosteric sites

Identifies regions that could regulate multiple protein functions.

Metal cofactors

Recognizes structural and catalytic influence of Zn, Fe, Mg, Cu and Mn.

Variant intelligence

Evaluates how mutations may alter function, stability or resistance.

Topological atlas

Turns protein structures into searchable, comparable and scalable maps.

Differentiators

Not a black box. Not massive simulation.

ATOM-B operates on auditable discrete physics, focusing on the regions that truly participate in molecular function.

Criteria Molecular Dynamics Generative AI ATOM-B

Validation

Verifiable predictions against structural evidence

ATOM-B is designed so each output can be contrasted against structural information such as crystallographic coordinates, reported cofactors, structural waters and functional residues.

Catalytic cofactors

Comparison between predicted pharmacophoric centers and experimentally observed metals/cofactors.

Structural water

Identification of regions compatible with ordered water molecules inside cavities.

Voxel-level traceability

Every prediction can be traced to confinement, electrostatics and force direction.

Laboratory
Molecular protein

More efficient than Molecular Dynamics

While Molecular Dynamics computes the behavior of the entire protein and its environment, ATOM-B focuses only on relevant regions, drastically reducing analysis time and resources.

It can transform protein structures into indexable functional maps, enabling search, comparison and prioritization of therapeutic regions at scale.

Use cases

Built for teams where mistakes are costly

ATOM-B is aimed at organizations that need speed, physical rigor and traceability in early decisions.

Pharma

Early prioritization of targets, active sites and therapeutic opportunities.

Biotech

Exploration of understudied proteins and initial structural validation.

Research

Physical analysis of cavities, cofactors, interfaces and functional regions.

Technology partners

Integration with docking, visualization or computational discovery pipelines.

Designed for organizations operating where errors are costly.

At ATOM-B we remove black boxes with a platform where every prediction is auditable down to the voxel level. If you need scientific rigor, speed and traceability, request a demo.
