Hephaistos Company

Hephaistos develops AI-based systems to design new enzymes from scratch for use in chemical and industrial reactions. The company applies machine-learning models to structural and sequence data to propose enzyme candidates with suitable activity, selectivity, and stability. Their workflow combines molecular modeling, structure prediction, and in-silico screening to prioritize variants before laboratory testing. The technology supports applications in biocatalysis and sustainable chemical production, where custom enzymes can replace conventional reaction methods. Hephaistos builds computational pipelines that help teams explore many design options and select enzymes that meet performance and manufacturability requirements.
