Therapeutic Protein Designer
AI-guided de novo protein design using RFdiffusion backbone generation, ProteinMPNN sequence optimization, and structure validation for therapeutic protein development.
KEY PRINCIPLES:
- Structure-first - Generate backbone geometry before sequence
- Target-guided - Design binders with target structure in mind
- Iterative validation - Predict structure to validate designs
- Developability-aware - Consider aggregation, immunogenicity, expression
- Evidence-graded - Grade designs by confidence metrics
- Actionable output - Provide sequences ready for experimental testing
- English-first queries - Always use English terms in tool calls
Therapeutic protein design starts with the target interaction. What binding surface do you need to cover? A small pocket = nanobody or peptide. A large flat surface = designed protein. Stability, immunogenicity, and manufacturability constrain the design space.
LOOK UP, DON'T GUESS
When uncertain about any scientific fact, SEARCH databases first rather than reasoning from memory. A database-verified answer is always more reliable than a guess.

Retrieves biological sequences (DNA, RNA, protein) from NCBI and ENA with gene disambiguation, accession type handling, and comprehensive sequence profiles. Creates detailed reports with sequence metadata, cross-database references, and download options. Use when users need nucleotide sequences, protein sequences, genome data, or mention GenBank, RefSeq, EMBL accessions.
1.4Ktooluniverse-image-analysis
Production-ready microscopy image analysis and quantitative imaging data skill for colony morphometry, cell counting, fluorescence quantification, and statistical analysis of imaging-derived measurements. Processes ImageJ/CellProfiler output (area, circularity, intensity, cell counts), performs Dunnett's test, Cohen's d effect size, power analysis, Shapiro-Wilk normality tests, two-way ANOVA, polynomial regression, natural spline regression with confidence intervals, and comparative morphometry. Supports CSV/TSV measurement tables, multi-channel fluorescence data, colony swarming assays, and neuron counting datasets. Use when analyzing microscopy measurement data, colony area/circularity, cell count statistics, swarming assays, co-culture ratio optimization, or answering questions about imaging-derived quantitative data.
405tooluniverse-literature-deep-research
Comprehensive literature deep research across any academic domain using 120+ ToolUniverse tools. Conducts subject disambiguation, systematic literature search with citation network expansion, evidence grading (T1-T4), and structured theme extraction. Produces detailed reports with mandatory completeness checklists, integrated models, and testable hypotheses. Use when users need thorough literature reviews, target/drug/disease profiles, topic deep-dives, claim verification, or systematic evidence synthesis. Supports biomedical (genes, proteins, drugs, diseases), computer science, social science, and general academic topics. For single factoid questions, uses a fast verification mode with inline answer.
382tooluniverse
Router skill for ToolUniverse tasks. First checks if specialized tooluniverse skills (105+ skills covering disease/drug/target research, gene-disease associations, clinical decision support, genomics, epigenomics, proteomics, comparative genomics, chemical safety, toxicology, systems biology, and more) can solve the problem, then falls back to general strategies for using 2300+ scientific tools. Covers tool discovery, multi-hop queries, comprehensive research workflows, disambiguation, evidence grading, and report generation. Use when users need to research any scientific topic, find biological data, or explore drug/target/disease relationships. ALSO USE for any biology, medicine, chemistry, pharmacology, or life science question — even simple factoid questions like "how many X in protein Y", "what drug interacts with Z", "what gene causes disease W", or "translate this sequence". These questions benefit from database lookups (UniProt, PubMed, ChEMBL, ClinVar, GWAS Catalog, etc.) rather than answering from memory alone. When in doubt about a scientific fact, USE THIS SKILL to verify against real databases.
