  • CleaveNet: CleaveNet is an end-to-end AI pipeline that leverages deep learning for the design of protease substrates. The model generates peptide substrates and incorporates a conditioning tag to steer generation towards desired cleavage profiles. It can design efficient and selective substrates, revealing both well-established and previously uncharacterized cleavage motifs. Applied to matrix metalloproteinases, CleaveNet enhanced the scale, tunability, and efficiency of substrate design. The CleaveNet-generated substrates were experimentally validated through a large-scale in vitro screen, including designing highly selective substrates for MMP13.
