Orbion's Bench - Wet-lab Co-pilot

FAQ

What is Orbion?

Orbion is an AI-powered platform that helps protein researchers accelerate their work by providing comprehensive protein characterization, mutation design suggestions, and automated experimental protocol generation—all from a single protein sequence.

How accurate is Orbion's protein characterization?

Orbion achieves 90%+ accuracy for PTM predictions on well-characterized proteins when compared to experimental data. Structure predictions use AlphaFold (Monomer and Multimer) with confidence scoring via pLDDT and PAE metrics. All predictions include confidence scores so you know which regions to trust.

How are Orbion's predictions validated?

Our PTM predictions achieve 90%+ accuracy on well-characterized proteins when compared to experimental data. Protocols are grounded in published literature and cite specific papers. We're actively building wet-lab validation partnerships to further improve accuracy.

Which proteins can Orbion work with?

Orbion works with any protein sequence—cytoplasmic, membrane, GPCRs, transporters, enzymes, antibodies, and multi-chain complexes. Submit single chains or entire complexes with multiple subunits. If you have a sequence or UniProt ID, Orbion can analyze it.

Can Orbion analyze protein complexes?

Yes! Orbion supports multi-chain protein analysis using AlphaFold Multimer. Submit multiple chains to get interface predictions, chain interaction analysis, PTMs at interfaces, and complex-specific protocols. We identify which residues are at interfaces, predict interaction confidence, and generate protocols for complex assembly and characterization.

Is there a free trial?

Yes! You can have a one week free trial free to see Orbion's predictions and protocol generation in action.

How is this different from just using AlphaFold?

AlphaFold predicts structure (monomers and multimers). Orbion goes further by predicting PTMs, binding sites, interface residues for complexes, suggesting mutations, and generating complete experimental protocols—all integrated into one platform. We also provide expression system-specific predictions, conservation analysis, and complex-specific protocols not available elsewhere. For multi-chain complexes, we analyze interfaces, identify interaction hotspots, and generate assembly protocols.

What types of proteins work best with Orbion?

All protein types work with Orbion: cytoplasmic proteins, membrane proteins, GPCRs, transporters, enzymes, kinases, antibodies, and multi-chain complexes. Both well-characterized proteins and novel targets benefit from AI predictions. Membrane proteins and GPCRs especially benefit from expression system recommendations.
