Chemistry and biology in AI Studio

Chemistry

Small molecules

1

Draft the genus claim from your compounds.

Drop in a ChemDraw (CDXML) file, SDF, SMILES, or a SAR spreadsheet and get a Markush claim with its R-group table, a full claim ladder, and scope options side by side.

2

Test a compound against a claim.

Does a new analog fall inside the genus you are about to file, or inside a competitor’s genus rebuilt from their example compounds? If it falls outside, see which position puts it there.

3

Answer the examiner.

Check the genus against compounds from the cited art and get a narrowed claim that avoids them.

Biology

Sequences and antibodies

1

Sequence numbers, managed.

Upload FASTA or GenBank and every sequence gets a SEQ ID NO the specification and claims can recite. Reorder the set and every reference follows.

2

Antibody claims on CDRs, not whole chains.

Pair the heavy and light chains and recite all six CDRs, in whichever numbering scheme you file under.

3

A validated ST.26 listing.

Build a WIPO ST.26 sequence listing that Boundly validates before export, or import an existing ST.26 listing.

Computed, not written by a model.

Genus and antibody claims are derived directly from your structures and sequences and go into your draft exactly as generated. Where an answer depends on judgment rather than structure, Boundly says so instead of guessing. It tells you when a check could not run or a question is still open, rather than reporting a clean result.

1. An antibody comprising a heavy chain variable region comprising HCDR1, HCDR2, and HCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 1, 2, and 3, respectively, and a light chain variable region comprising LCDR1, LCDR2, and LCDR3 comprising the amino acid sequences of SEQ ID NOs: 4, 5, and 6, respectively.

ST.26 listing validated by Boundly before export.

Illustrative example. Simplified structures chosen to show the claim format, not a patentable series or a real antibody.

What else it handles.

Chemistry, small molecules

  • Every structure validity-checked, with anything doubtful flagged rather than silently accepted
  • Detects when a library holds more than one chemical series and drafts each separately
  • Acceptable-salt clause worded for the field, pharmaceutical or agrochemical
  • Reads the drafted scope against §112 written description and flags what the claim leaves unsaid about stereochemistry
  • Check a compound against the set for the same compound, a stereoisomer, a tautomer, the same class, or the closest analog
  • Insert the accepted claim set, the Formula (I) structure, and the compound table straight into your draft

Biology, sequences and antibodies

  • The numbering scheme (IMGT, Kabat, Chothia, or AbM) recorded with each antibody
  • Each claimed CDR gets its own SEQ ID NO so it can sit in the listing
  • Build a consensus SEQ ID NO from a panel of variants and see which positions vary or are optional
  • A warning when widening a consensus position reaches beyond the disclosure
  • Developability flags for deamidation, oxidation, and glycosylation, and whether each sits in a CDR
  • A sequence workbench with a region track whose boundaries you can drag

Frequently asked questions

Does Boundly support chemistry and biology patent work?
Yes. Life Sciences is part of AI Studio. Draft Markush and structure claims from your compounds, and sequence and antibody claims with an ST.26 listing from your sequences.
Which chemistry and biology file formats can I upload?
For chemistry, ChemDraw (CDXML), SDF, SMILES, and SAR spreadsheets. For biology, FASTA and GenBank. You can also import an existing ST.26 listing (XML).
How does Boundly build a Markush claim from my compounds?
It validity-checks every structure, detects each chemical series in the set, and drafts a Markush genus claim for each series with its R-group table. You compare conservative, balanced, and broad scope side by side against written description, and get a full claim ladder down to species claims.
Is the chemistry and biology output written by an AI model?
Not the claims. Genus and antibody claims are derived directly from your structures and sequences and go into your draft exactly as generated. Where an answer depends on judgment rather than structure, Boundly says so instead of guessing.
Can I check whether a compound falls inside a genus claim?
Yes. Test a compound against your accepted genus, or a competitor’s genus rebuilt from their example compounds, and see which position puts it outside. You can also check a compound against the set for the same compound, a stereoisomer, a tautomer, the same class, or the closest analog.
Does Boundly handle agrochemical claims as well as pharmaceutical ones?
Yes. The acceptable-salt clause is worded for the field, agriculturally acceptable or pharmaceutically acceptable.
Can Boundly draft six-CDR antibody claims?
Yes. Pair the heavy and light chains and Boundly drafts claims reciting all six CDRs, each with its own SEQ ID NO, in whichever numbering scheme you file under (IMGT, Kabat, Chothia, or AbM).
Does Boundly create a WIPO ST.26 sequence listing?
Yes. Boundly builds an ST.26 listing and validates it before export. You can also import an existing ST.26 listing (XML).
What happens to SEQ ID NOs when I reorder my sequences?
Sequence numbers are managed for you. Reorder the set and every reference in the specification and claims follows.
Is Life Sciences included in my plan?
Yes. Life Sciences is part of AI Studio and included in every plan.
Are my compounds and sequences kept confidential?
Yes. Your work runs on enterprise AI model endpoints, not consumer AI. It is never used to train a model and is encrypted in transit and at rest.
