A descriptor?based software and model for amine-based carbon capture discovery Organizations that design sorbents for removing CO2 from air gain a fast, chemistry?aware way to rank candidates and focus resources on the most promising structures.
AmineBind ML, a trained surrogate model, packaged with user?friendly software, predicts CO2 binding energies for amine active sites from simple molecular inputs.
Teams can screen vast chemical spaces in minutes, align material choices with target regeneration temperatures and reduce trial?and?error in lab campaigns.
Overview Developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, the software ingests a chemical structure as a SMILES string, identifies amine binding sites, then uses a descriptor?based machine learning surrogate model trained on roughly 20,000 electronic?structure calculations to predict CO2 binding energetics.
Inference runs far faster than density functional theory, which enables high?throughput exploration of millions of candidate chemistries for direct air capture.
Predictions at the atomic scale can be combined with mesoscale modeling to feed broader materials pipelines.
Technology Description AmineBind ML includes a Python?based toolkit that parses molecular inputs in SMILES format, computes chemically meaningful descriptors for amine sites, and applies a trained model to estimate CO2 binding energies.
Training data come from binding energetics computed for ~20,000 molecules, anchoring predictions to first?principles energetics and supporting generalization across diverse amine chemistries.
Model inference achieves orders?of?magnitude speed?ups versus DFT, which enables rapid ranking and down?selection prior to expensive simulations or synthesis.
This bundle supports screening of millions of structures for direct air capture, d...
Official solicitation and documents
The full solicitation, any attachments, and the actual submission instructions live on the official listing, not on this page. Oppward summarizes public record data; it does not host or mirror the source documents.
Oppward is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by SAM.gov or any government agency. This page is a plain-English summary of public record data; the linked source above is the authoritative listing.
How to bid on this
This is a contract solicitation, not a grant. To bid, you submit a proposal (usually a price and a description of how you would do the work) directly to the government, through the channel the official listing specifies, not through Oppward.
- Make sure your business has an active SAM.gov registration. You cannot be paid on a federal contract without one.
- Read the full solicitation on the official listing above, especially the scope of work, not just this summary. Our guide to reading a solicitation walks through what to look for.
- Check the set-aside listed above and confirm your business actually qualifies for it before you spend time on a proposal. See our guide to set-asides if the category is unfamiliar.
- Submit your proposal by the deadline, using the exact submission method the official listing states. A technically on-time bid sent the wrong way is often treated as late.
