A Protein Design AI Platform for High-Value Resource Recovery. Powered by a proprietary model trained on 460M data points, we design Unnatural Super Enzymes — fast, precise, and economical — to recover the high-value resources of tomorrow.
Oil shocks, semiconductor material disputes, Middle East conflicts — external resource dependency has repeatedly triggered economic and industrial crises worldwide. The technology to smartly recover and circulate resources is the industrial competitiveness of the next era.
100% of domestic crude oil demand is met through imports, with 62% concentrated in the Middle East.
Import dependency on China for critical minerals — lithium, nickel, cobalt, manganese, graphite — ranges from 70 to 100%.
Recycling rates for petrochemical products and mineral materials remain in single digits, with no circular economy structure in place.
Using a proprietary deep learning model trained on massive protein data, we design enzymes that selectively react with target resources, then validate and express their function in our Wet-Lab. Building on this, we recover and supply the high-value resources that future industries require.
It doesn't stop at AI-generated candidates. Through synthesis and reactivity validation in our in-house Wet Lab., empirical data feeds back into model retraining — a closed loop that rapidly drives up functional expression rates and deploys proven enzymes into real resource recovery processes.
DFRN's technology is proven on two fronts: enzyme development outcomes directly designed and validated through our own AI-Bio platform, and the competitive advantage of the underlying AI model itself.
While competing AI models remain below 1–5% functional expression, we have already achieved 15%.
Compared to competing protein generation models, training cost is 1/9 and memory usage is 1/1.5. Protein length generation is unlimited, with rapid target switching via LoRA fine-tuning.
Beyond being a technology company — becoming the new standard for resource recovery. Three phases of a bold blueprint, building one pillar of the future resource industry.
Functional validation of our proprietary AI-Bio platform. We proved the model's real-world activity expression capability through high-difficulty PET-degrading enzyme design.
Leveraging the validated platform to expand into high-value resources. We sequentially develop and assetize enzymes for nylon and rare earth element recovery.
Bringing secured IPs into actual processes to build an integrated resource recovery complex. Completing the transition from technology supplier to raw material supplier.
We welcome all inquiries — research collaboration, IP licensing, business partnerships, and investment.
