Gmail Plugin That Makes Up for What Rapportive Users Lost

Bindlix designs de novo protein binders for Alzheimer’s disease and other targets conventional drugs cannot reach — multifunctional, AI-designed, built to cross the barriers in the way.

Gmail Plugin That Makes Up for What Rapportive Users Lost launched on February 4, 2015 with 18 votes and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 11 years on.

In plain words

Bindlix uses artificial intelligence to design custom protein binders targeting diseases like Alzheimer's that conventional drugs cannot reach. The company creates multifunctional binders engineered to recognize disease-relevant proteins and cross biological barriers, particularly into the brain. Their computational approach designs, screens, and ranks binder candidates before laboratory testing, accelerating the discovery of new therapeutics for neurodegenerative diseases.

From the sources

AI-powered protein binders, designed to become precision therapeutics — starting with Alzheimer’s disease. Bindlix is building multifunctional AI-designed binders that solve brain delivery challenges and unlock a new generation of Alzheimer’s therapeutics — engineered to recognise a single disease-relevant shape, then validated in the lab. A computational cascade that designs, counter-screens, and ranks binders before a single experiment. A lead discovery program targeting the toxic protein species of Alzheimer’s disease. Protein designers and structural biologists building binders the way engineers buildfrom bindlix.com

  • An open-source implementation of AlphaFold32024 · github.com · ▲314

    Hi HN - we’re the founders of Ligo Biosciences and are excited to share an open-source implementation of AlphaFold3, the frontier model for protein structure prediction. Google DeepMind and their new startup Isomorphic Labs, are expanding into drug discovery. They developed AlphaFold3 as their model to accelerate drug discovery and create demand from big pharma. They already signed Novartis and Eli Lilly for $3 billion - Google’s becoming a pharma company! (https://www.isomorphiclabs.com/articles/isomorphic-labs-kick...) AlphaFold3 is a biomolecular structure prediction…

    Hey HN! This has been my project for a few years now. I recently brought it back to life after taking a pause to focus on my studies. My goal with this project is to separate fluff from science when shopping for supplements. I am doing this in 3 steps: 1.) I index every supplement on the market (extract each ingredient, normalize by quantity) 2.) I index every research paper on supplementation (rank every claim by effect type and effect size) 3.) I link data between supplements and research papers Earlier last year, I took pause on a project because I've ran into a few issues: Legal: Shady…

    Hi HN! I want to share our latest project at NEXA AI. We developed AI agent foundation models designed to transform how developers create AI agent powered apps. One major challenge we've observed with current human-computer interactions is that many simple, one-step tasks become unnecessarily complex, multi-step workflows due to limitations of current GUIs. AI agents can solve this, but existing AI agent models are slow and costly. To tackle these issues, we built lightweight AI agent models based on our Octopus V2, small language models for function calling (You can learn more about our…
