h09 — Synthetic Peptide Hydrogel HTC

mech. Self-assembling peptide (SAP, ~134 aa tail91 on RADA16-WH2 scaffold) forms synthetic horizontal top connectors; engages TMEM145 GOLD zone (ipTM 0.68) + G-actin (ipTM 0.51). delivery. Ototopical ear drop + LIFU round-window permeation; PKPD window 0.13-1.32 mg; $42/ear GMP via NCL. patient-fit. Works on any STRC-null including Misha; peptide wins vs maternal E1659A at 1-10 µM in 10/12 Kd scenarios.

status

A-tier. next priority reordered per STRC h09 Phase 4i Kd Sensitivity Sweep 2026-04-23:

  1. Phase 2c WH2 bundling (HEK293 GFP-actin confocal) — gate #1, dominates therapeutic window
  2. Phase 4b AF3 submission (8 jobs built, awaiting external AF3 server) — triple-complex + σ<0.05 needed
  3. TMEM145 SPR/BLI — gate #2, already in operable ipSAE-narrowed band

S-tier promotion path: WH2 Kd wet-lab narrowing into PASS zone (< 50 μM) + 4b triple-complex σ<0.05 → S candidate.

  • Phase 4i Kd × Kd sensitivity sweep (5×5, KD_TMEM145 10 nM-10 μM × KD_WH2_FACTIN 1 μM-1 mM) on therapeutic window: f≥0.3 reachable on 80% of plausible grid (PASS 56% single-dose + MARGINAL 24%); FAIL 20% concentrated at WH2 Kd = 1 mM column (Tβ4 analog floor, toxic ceiling beats f=0.3). Strategic finding: WH2 Kd dominates, TMEM145 Kd is secondary. Reorders wet-lab priority → Phase 2c WH2 bundling gate #1; TMEM145 SPR/BLI → #2 (ipSAE already operable-band-placed). Verdict A_hold_multi_dose_ok, not S-robust (70% PASS threshold). A held, Mech 4 held, Deliv 3 held. → STRC h09 Phase 4i Kd Sensitivity Sweep 2026-04-23
  • Dunbrack 2025 ipSAE reassessment on Ultra-Mini × TMEM145 CIFs: GOLD pruned ipSAE 0.591 sits in known-binder-zone (NFAT-CnB 0.55 … NFAT-CnA 0.78 physiological binders) → gate 3 (STRC×TMEM145 Kd) narrowed: placeholder 100 nM now lit-band-consistent (10 nM-10 µM Calcineurin-family band) instead of “arbitrary”; absolute Kd still wet-lab-gated. Full-length ipSAE 0.014 reaffirms known TM-collapse AF3 limit. Path B (AF3-only absolute Kd calibration) closed as lit-infeasible. A held, Mech 4 held. → STRC ipSAE Cross-Complex Reassessment 2026-04-23
