Ligo Biosciences

Ligo Biosciences is developing advanced deep-learning models to revolutionize enzyme design, aiming to significantly reduce the costs associated with chemical manufacturing. The current $6 trillion chemical industry faces substantial challenges, contributing to 20% of industrial greenhouse gas emissions and accounting for 15% of global energy consumption. Enzymes present a more sustainable alternative to traditional chemical synthesis and have already transformed the production of certain chemicals. However, the development of each enzyme typically requires years of iterative experimentation. Ligo Biosciences' models are designed to learn the fundamental principles of catalysis, enabling the rapid design of enzymes for specific reactions, reducing the development timeline from years to days.
