Level 2 · Computed
Isomorphic Labs' technical report says its drug design engine IsoDDE doubles AlphaFold 3 on the hardest unseen protein-ligand cases, scored by Isomorphic itself and with the method undisclosed
AlphaFold-style models mostly fail on pockets and antibodies unlike what they were trained on, and that is where new drugs are. This report says Isomorphic has closed much of that gap, and the engine is part of what its $2.1B Series B pays for. But every number is computed and scored by Isomorphic itself, the method is withheld, and no outside team can check it. No molecule designed with it has public results.

Level 3 · Checked against existing evidence
AlphaFold 3 predicts interactions across biomolecules
Structure prediction moves closer to the interaction problems central to drug discovery, while restricted access triggers an openness dispute.
