BEIJING, Sept. 22, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tsingke today announced an integrated high-throughput validation workflow designed to help researchers experimentally evaluate large libraries of AI-designed proteins and antibodies. Combining gene synthesis, parallel expression, high-throughput screening, scale-up production, purification and quantitative binding analysis, the workflow enables researchers to move large numbers of computationally designed candidates into experimental testing and advance prioritized molecules for deeper characterization.

"AI is changing the speed at which researchers can design proteins and antibodies," said Nan Zhang, Marketing Manager at Tsingke. "The next challenge is efficiently translating computational designs into experimental data. High-throughput validation enables researchers to screen candidates at scale first, then focus resources on the molecules with greater potential for further development."

Scaling Experimental Validation for AI-Driven Protein Design

Tools such as AlphaFold, RFdiffusion and ProteinMPNN have expanded the scale and speed of protein and antibody design. Researchers can now generate large numbers of candidate sequences in a fraction of the time previously required.

As candidate pools grow from dozens to hundreds or even thousands of sequences, however, conventional one-by-one experimental workflows can become a constraint. Researchers need a way to generate experimental materials at scale, rapidly narrow candidate pools, and obtain quantitative data on prioritized molecules.

Tsingke's workflow addresses this challenge through a staged validation process.

The first stage focuses on high-throughput candidate generation and screening. Batch gene synthesis and parallel protein or antibody expression enable researchers to move large candidate sets into experimental testing. Initial screening, including ELISA-based binding assays, can then be used to identify candidates with the desired expression or binding characteristics.

The second stage focuses on prioritized candidates. Selected molecules can undergo scale-up expression, purification and gram-scale production, followed by quantitative binding analysis using technologies such as BLI or SPR. These assays can provide key kinetic parameters including KD, kon and koff, supporting more detailed candidate characterization.

This staged approach allows experimental resources to be progressively concentrated on candidates that demonstrate stronger initial performance.

Capabilities for Large-Scale Candidate Validation

This staged approach is enabled by Tsingke's capabilities across gene synthesis, protein and antibody expression, and downstream characterization.

Gene synthesis: Tsingke handles a broad range of sequence complexities and scales, including DNA fragments up to 200 kb and challenging constructs with high GC content, tandem repeats, palindromic regions, and other complex features. The GeneOptimizer algorithm enables codon optimization of candidate sequences to improve compatibility between gene design and downstream expression systems.

Protein expression: Multiple expression systems, including mammalian cell-based and cell-free platforms, are available to match different protein characteristics, expression challenges, and project stages. This flexibility allows researchers to select an appropriate expression strategy for diverse AI-designed proteins.

Antibody expression: Tsingke works with multiple antibody formats, including scFv, VHH, Fab, and full-length IgG. Its high-throughput workflow can process up to 1,500 candidates per day, with gene-to-antibody delivery in as little as 7 calendar days, plus 5 days for shipping, for applicable projects.

Supporting Experimental Validation of AI-Designed Molecules

Tsingke has supported experimental projects from clients working in AI-designed proteins and antibodies. Going forward, Tsingke will continue to enhance its technical and service capabilities, helping accelerate the transition of AI-designed molecules from computational design to experimental validation.

Bundespräsident Frank-Walter Steinmeier hat den Festakt zum Tag der Deutschen Einheit in Bremen für eine eindringliche Warnung vor der Gefährdung der Demokratie genutzt. In seiner voraussichtlich letzten großen Rede zu diesem Anlass sprach er von einer angefochtenen demokratischen Ordnung und mahnte, radikale Kräfte entschieden abzuwehren. Angesichts wachsender Erfolge populistischer und extremistischer Parteien sieht Steinmeier nicht nur Freiheit und Demokratie, sondern auch die innere Einheit des Landes unter Druck.

Steinmeier verwies darauf, dass inzwischen „ein Viertel und mehr“ der Wähler mit ihrer Entscheidung deutlich machten, dass sie sich von wichtigen Grundentscheidungen der Bundesrepublik abwenden. Diese Entwicklung werde begleitet von „unerträglicher politischer Demagogie“, in der Menschen verhöhnt und bedroht würden. Die Diskreditierung demokratischer Verfahren, die Radikalisierung der Öffentlichkeit und die Diffamierung des Kompromisses seien Warnsignale, die man nicht ignorieren dürfe. Populistische Parteien aller Couleur destabilisierten die parlamentarische Demokratie, sagte er.

Deutliche Kritik übte der Bundespräsident an der Rolle der sozialen Medien. Eine „Flut der Manipulationen und der Lügen“ trage zur „schrillen Emotionalisierung“ des politischen Diskurses bei und befeuere extremistische Tendenzen. Steinmeier forderte, die demokratische Streitkultur zu verteidigen und den Kompromiss wieder als Stärke zu begreifen. Ob die Demokratie in Deutschland einer Entwicklung ähnlich der Weimarer Republik entgegengehe, sei nicht entschieden – man habe es „in der Hand“.

Zugleich erinnerte Steinmeier an die historischen Grundlagen des Feiertags. Vor 36 Jahren sei mit der deutschen Wiedervereinigung eine „tiefe Wunde“ geheilt worden, die das Land zuvor über Jahrzehnte in einem „unnatürlichen Zustand der inneren Spaltung“ gehalten habe. Der Tag der Deutschen Einheit sei Anlass, die erste friedliche Revolution für Freiheit und Demokratie in Deutschland und ihre Protagonisten im Gedächtnis zu behalten. Die Errungenschaften der Einheit dürften von aktuellen Krisen nicht überdeckt werden, mahnte Steinmeier, und rief die Bürger dazu auf, sich aktiv für die liberale Demokratie einzusetzen. Er zeigte sich überzeugt, dass diese den aktuellen Belastungen standhalten könne: „Wir sind so viel stärker, als wir glauben.“
