Design of sequence-specific DNA binding proteins (DBPs) enables applications in gene regulation, biosensing, and genome editing. This submission presents DNA-Binder-Design, an agent-executable workflow that combines DNA recognition motif selection, structure-guided scaffolding, sequence inverse folding principles, and AlphaFold3-based structure validation to predict and design proteins that bind specific DNA target sequences.

We present One-Person AI Pharma: a complete executable agent skill for end-to-end protein binder design combining cloud GPU compute (Modal + biomodals) with automated wet-lab validation (Adaptyv Bio). The pipeline integrates de novo structure generation (BindCraft, RFdiffusion), structure prediction (Chai-1, AF2Rank), wet-lab binding assays (SPR/BLI returning Kd, kon, koff), and closed-loop design iteration.

ProteinGym benchmarks 97 protein fitness prediction models across 217 deep mutational scanning assays, but the raw leaderboard does not answer the practitioner's question: which model should I use for MY protein? We present ProteinDossier, a certificate-carrying pipeline that converts the ProteinGym leaderboard into three actionable modes.
