of Crystal Clear Vision.

This calculator allows you to input parameters such as the number of conditions tested per attempt, the probability of crystal growth, and the expected number of attempts per month.

With this information, you can estimate the return on investment of integrating our machine learning model into your operations, in terms of both time and money.

The calculation of expected spotted crystals is based on the recall rates of each machine learning model (97% for CCV, 88% for MARCO, 77% for Human).
The 77% recall rate for humans is based on an agreement level on crystal identification from previous research. Using the user's input data and the recall rates for each model, we have calculated the time and number of attempts needed to obtain a high-quality crystal, and translated this into monetary terms, assuming each crystallization attempt costs approximately $15,000 USD.

For an easier assessment of the savings, we present comparisons between CCV and MARCO, and CCV and Human (manual inspection of all conditions).

Global top 1% Applied Science Institution, improving drug discovery processes.

Business problem

The process of drug discovery is notoriously costly and time-consuming, with protein crystal identification being a critical step that traditionally requires substantial computational resources and expertise.

The existing state-of-the-art model, MARCO, while effective, misses almost 10% of crystals and demands extensive computational effort.

This inefficiency leads to missed opportunities in identifying potential drug candidates, directly impacting the speed and cost of bringing new medicines to market.

Solution

Appsilon introduced Crystal Clear Vision (CCV), an innovative machine learning model that leverages transfer learning and Low-Rank Adaptation (LoRA) for fine-tuning, significantly outperforming MARCO.

By focusing on enhancing crystal detection accuracy and applying state-of-the-art techniques, CCV dramatically lowers the missed crystal rate to 3.6% (reduction in lost crystals of 61%).

Thanks to this boost in efficiency, larger scale surveys are enabled, leading to a reduced time to discovering new drug candidates.

“Every time you miss a protein crystal, because they are so rare, you risk missing on an important biomedical discovery.”
