Summary

External predictor screening of 23 wave 0.5b candidates (CAMPR4, AMPScanner v2, Macrel, AMPActiPred, HemoFinder, AntiCP2) identified the two best safety-activity leads:

  • SEED-020_VAR_004 (RLRIRVLKRLLK): AMPScanner 0.9928, HemoFinder LOW, Non-AntiCP 0.29 — best safety profile in batch
  • SEED-020_VAR_002 (KVRIRVLKRLLK): AMPScanner 0.9960 (highest in batch), HemoFinder LOW, Non-AntiCP 0.32

Both confirmed NOVEL by broad novelty check (72-AMP curated database, < 50% max similarity). Both outperform SEED-019_VAR_004 on the AntiCP off-target safety criterion while maintaining equivalent activity scores.

Changes

  • docs/WET_LAB_HANDOFF.md: New SEED-019/020 section — Arg-Ile/Val/Leu scaffold description, synthesis guidance (Nα-Ac REQUIRED for 5 trypsin sites, C-amide recommended, Macrel hemolysis false-positive warning), SAR triad assay priority note
  • docs/EXPERT_REVIEW_PACK.md: §5 family table extended with SEED-019/020 row (P(≥1 active) ~78–87%); wave 0.5b addendum block added
  • docs/ROADMAP.md: PR tracking entries for PR fix(docs+qc): correct SEED-006 Met synthesis error and close expert-pack gaps #104 and this PR
  • outputs/wave1_final_panel.csv (local only, gitignored): SEED-020_VAR_004 and SEED-020_VAR_002 added as BALANCED_LEAD candidates from WAVE0_5B source

Test plan

  • make test → 1372 tests pass (verified locally)
  • docs/WET_LAB_HANDOFF.md SEED-019/020 section present with correct synthesis flags (Nα-Ac REQUIRED, C-amide RECOMMENDED, SHORT_PEPTIDE note)
  • docs/EXPERT_REVIEW_PACK.md §5 table includes SEED-019/020 row
  • Wave 0.5b addendum correctly identifies SEED-020_VAR_004 as best safety candidate
  • ROADMAP.md entries are accurate

…tor confirmation

External predictor screening (CAMPR4, AMPScanner v2, Macrel, AMPActiPred, HemoFinder,
AntiCP2) of 23 wave 0.5b candidates confirmed SEED-020_VAR_004 (RLRIRVLKRLLK) and
SEED-020_VAR_002 (KVRIRVLKRLLK) as the best safety-activity leads in the batch.

Broad novelty check confirms both are NOVEL (< 50% similarity to the 72-AMP curated
reference database; max similarity 41.7% vs REF-RLK-001 and 37.5% vs REF-LL37-003).

Key external predictor metrics:
- SEED-020_VAR_004: AMPScanner 0.9928, HemoFinder LOW, Non-AntiCP 0.29 (cleanest in batch)
- SEED-020_VAR_002: AMPScanner 0.9960 (highest in batch), HemoFinder LOW, Non-AntiCP 0.32
Both outperform SEED-019_VAR_004 on the AntiCP off-target safety criterion while
maintaining equivalent activity. Both are NOVEL — confirmed activity is publishable.

Changes:
- docs/WET_LAB_HANDOFF.md: new SEED-019/020 section — scaffold description, synthesis
  guidance (Nα-Ac REQUIRED for 5 trypsin sites, C-amide recommended, SHORT_PEPTIDE serum
  note, Macrel hemolysis false-positive warning), assay priority note (SAR triad comparison
  with SEED-019_VAR_004 within same assay plate)
- docs/EXPERT_REVIEW_PACK.md: §5 family table extended with SEED-019/020 row
  (P(≥1 active) ~78–87%, best ext-predictor confirmed); wave 0.5b addendum block
  added below table summarising the confirmation rationale
- docs/ROADMAP.md: PR tracking entries for PR #104 (SEED-006 Met fix) and this PR

wave1_final_panel.csv updated locally (outputs/ is gitignored):
  SEED-020_VAR_004 and SEED-020_VAR_002 added as BALANCED_LEAD (WAVE0_5B).

Tests: 1372 passed.
…5b PR

HIGH — SEED-019_VAR_004 classified NOVEL in new docs but is CLOSE_RELATIVE
with POSSIBLE_PATENT_RISK in official novelty audit v2 (66.7% to DRAMP05502).
Added explicit IP NOTE block in WET_LAB_HANDOFF.md; added patent risk flag to
EXPERT_REVIEW_PACK.md §5 row and wave 0.5b addendum; publishability claim
scoped to SEED-020 pair only.

HIGH — Arg count/charge density errors: "≥4 Arg" doesn't apply to KVRIRVLKRLLK
(3 Arg + 3 Lys = 6 cationic); net charge "+4 to +5" incorrect — should be "+5
to +6". Fixed to "3–4 Arg plus 2–3 Lys, 6 total cationic, net charge ~+5 to +6."

HIGH — Nα-Ac rationale conflated exopeptidase + endopeptidase protection.
Added explicit clarification: Nα-Ac blocks aminopeptidase (exopeptidase) from
the free α-amine; trypsin endoproteolysis at 5 K/R sites requires D-amino Wave 2.

MEDIUM — Motif descriptor removed (had positional errors: K at pos1 for VAR_002,
V/L order mismatch for SEED-019); replaced with prose description of the pattern.

MEDIUM — Macrel bias characterization changed from "all cationic helices" to
"non-discriminating in this dataset — 60/60 candidates flagged regardless of
class" (matches documented evidence in METRICS_CURRENT.md).

MEDIUM — P(≥1 active) range adjusted from 78–87% to 75–85% in EXPERT_REVIEW_PACK
§5; "best ext. predictor confirmed leads" clarification added to reviewer focus.

LOW — Melittin cross-reference removed; now cites docs/METRICS_CURRENT.md.
LOW — SEED-022 documented in addendum (excluded at pre-screen, no viable
candidates after safety scoring).

Tests: 1372 passed.
