Abstract
Endogenous antimicrobial peptides are ubiquitous components of animal and plant host defences. These peptides, usually cationic and amphipathic, kill target cells rapidly and are efficacious against antibiotic-resistant and clinically relevant pathogens. A practical challenge in the development of cationic peptides as therapeutics is to meet the production requirements for large quantities of highly purified drug substance at competitive costs. While chemical peptide synthesis can be used to manufacture cationic peptides, we have developed cost-effective methods for recombinant production by expressing fusion proteins comprised of multiple copies of the peptides. The fusion proteins accumulate in Escherichia coli inclusion bodies and constitute over 50% of the total cellular proteins. Active antimicrobial peptides are released by chemical reagents and purified by chromatography, combining both standard and novel approaches. Challenges of industrial-scale manufacturing of therapeutics were considered in the development of this process.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
