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.
