Cyclica has developed a new technology, termed Differential Drug Discovery (DDD), to design single molecules capable of targeting multiple proteins simultaneously and retain drug like characteristics. The project will design tumour specific pro-drugs to target mitochondrial respiration. To achieve this Cyclica software developers must design constructs to predict chemical structures that will target various proteins in the mitochondria. Our team will develop a companion assay to test the novel chemical structures designed in the software and substantiate the computer aided predictions. We will perform optimization, benchmarking and assays required for Cyclica to proceed to the commercialization of the novel computational drug discovery application of their AI technology.**

Cyclica开发了一种名为差异药物发现(DDD)的新技术，以设计能够同时靶向多个蛋白质并保留类药物特征的单分子。该项目将设计针对肿瘤的前药物，以靶向线粒体呼吸。为了实现这一点，Cyclica软件开发人员必须设计结构来预测将针对线粒体中各种蛋白质的化学结构。我们的团队将开发一种配套测试，以测试软件中设计的新化学结构，并证实计算机辅助预测。我们将执行Cyclica将其人工智能技术的新型计算药物发现应用程序商业化所需的优化、基准和分析。**
