OXIPRO's Computational Platforms: Enhancing Enzyme Discovery with Horus

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: What if enzyme discovery didn’t have to mean months in the lab and mountains of data? Meet Horus — OXIPRO’s powerful new platform that’s changing how we approach enzyme engineering. Built by the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, Horus combines high-performance computing, AI-driven design, and an intuitive graphical interface to make enzyme modelling accessible to everyone from molecular biologists to industrial innovators. It’s not just another tool. It’s a modular, visual, collaboration-first system that simulates enzyme behaviour before you ever pick up a pipette. 👁️ Named after the Egyptian god of vision, Horus brings clarity to complexity — from de novo protein design to docking simulations. Explore how Horus is helping democratise access to computational biology and fast-track innovation in sustainable biotech.
