       Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-1 Filed July 8, 2021

       Letter from Sean McClain, founder & CEO, page 120

   1.                                                   Please revise to
provide sources and/or citations for the following statements or
                                                        recharacterize them as
your beliefs:
                                                            "We   ve seen the
protein-based drug landscape grow exponentially."
                                                            "Biopharmaceutical
pipelines are full of up-and-coming biologics, and the industry
                                                            has nearly
boundless ideas for new proteins that have yet to enter clinical
                                                            development."
                                                            "Mammalian cells
are costly to maintain, slow and intractable to engineer, and
                                                            although they have
proven capable of making human antibodies, they are not readily
                                                            adaptable to making
new types of proteins."
                                                            "By marrying
cutting-edge artificial intelligence with synthetic biology, we are

          stepping beyond the constraints of nature   s evolutionary
trajectory, opening up a new
          sequence space for potential proteins, and even adding new letters to
the amino acid
          alphabet to realize new possibilities for drug discovery."

enable rapid
      response to emerging infectious diseases through efficient identification
of antibodies that
      could be useful for diagnostic and/or therapeutic interventions." Please
provide
      supplemental support for this statement or recharacterize it as
management's beliefs.
