Use BindCraft2

Official Neurosnap webserver for accessing BindCraft2 online.

Overview

BindCraft2 is a campaign-based protein binder design suite for de novo miniproteins, scaffolded binders, cyclic peptides, oligomeric binders, antibody-like scaffolds, and multistate objectives. It combines AlphaFold2-guided sequence optimization, ProteinMPNN redesign, validation with held-out AlphaFold models, and structural filters to produce ranked candidate complexes for experimental follow-up.

Neurosnap Overview

The BindCraft2 online webserver allows anybody with a Neurosnap account to run and access BindCraft2, no downloads required. Information submitted through this webserver is kept confidential and never sold to third parties as detailed by our strong Terms of Use and Privacy Policy.

Features

  • Supports de novo binders, larger binders, linear peptides, cyclic peptides, homo-oligomers, multidomain binders, VHHs, ARPs, scFvs, Fabs, and conformational binder design presets.
  • Accepts target structures with optional chain, hotspot, and coldspot selections for epitope-focused campaigns.
  • Exposes BindCraft2 biological properties such as focused epitope targeting, humanization, protease stability, disulfide staples, topology bias, termini objectives, initial guess, and big bang starts.
  • Exports ranked accepted designs, candidate refolding records, trajectory summaries, campaign summaries, and predicted complex structures.
  • Uses a streamlined campaign form while keeping target paths, output folders, and runtime-sensitive settings managed by Neurosnap.

Statistics

Neurosnap periodically calculates runtime statistics based on job execution data. These estimates provide a general guideline for how long your job may take, but actual runtimes can vary significantly depending on factors like input size or settings used.
