Protabit

Protabit is preparing to release TriadWeb, a web-based, protein design service built upon Protabit’s Triad software platform and utilizing the Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud. Protabit is developing Triad into a web-based, easy-to-use, collaborative CPD software application that is available by subscription, without the hassle of installing software or purchasing and maintaining expensive hardware. Barry Olafson, Protabit CEO and co-founder, is the principal investigator on the NIH project. Protabit is providing the computational protein design software and engineering expertise. Protabit will apply its computational protein design software to engineer improved MMOs. Stephen Mayo, Protabit co-founder and Chair of the Division of Biology and Biological Engineering at Caltech. Barry Olafson, Protabit CEO and co-founder added, “We are pleased to receive this grant from the NSF, which will allow us to develop a platform for optimizing an MMO for industrial use. At the core of Protabit’s engineering approach is Triad, a computational protein design software platform that is used to generate new enzymes for experimental evaluation.
