Arzeda

Arzeda Corp is a Seattle, Washington protein design company — "The Protein Design Company" — founded in 2008 by David Baker (2024 Nobel Prize in Chemistry), Alexandre Zanghellini and colleagues out of the University of Washington Institute for Protein Design. Its Intelligent Protein Design Technology combines physics-based computational protein design, generative AI and an agentic design-build-test-learn loop over fifteen years of proprietary in-house experimental data to create designer enzymes and proteins that do not exist in nature, then scale them to commercial production. Commercial programs span food and beverage (ViaLeaf Reb M / ProSweet Reb M stevia sweeteners with MANE), home and personal care enzymes (Unilever), advanced materials (W. L. Gore & Associates) and pharmaceutical biologics (Takeda), alongside DARPA and NSF funded work on AI-driven protein design and cell-free biomanufacturing. Arzeda co-founded the OpenFold consortium for open-source protein structure prediction. It sells designed molecules and joint development programs, not software, and publishes no public developer program, API or machine-readable interface.

Arzeda is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Biotechnology, Synthetic Biology, Protein Design, and Enzymes.

Arzeda’s developer surface includes engineering blog, product news, and 12 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

Create-or-Update Ergonomics could not be measured. We hold no machine-readable contract for this provider to read, so there is nothing to measure a write surface against. Excluded rather than scored zero: never-measured and measured-empty are different facts. Publishing an OpenAPI is what makes this facet — and several others — scorable at all.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.

Improve this rating by publishing the missing artifacts — every area above can be raised, and the full rubric is at apis.io/rating/. Every facet and dimension name above is a link: it opens that measurement's own page — what it means, the exact checks that feed it, how the whole catalog distributes on it, and the providers at the top of it. This rating is computed from github.com/api-evangelist/arzeda: open an issue to ask a question, or submit a pull request to add artifacts.
