Significance of Our Work
About 50% of medications function by GCPR signaling.
99% of them were "lucky": They worked prior to
science understanding GPCRs.
Imagine if we could now target-design medications to
signal through specific GPCR receptors...

What We Do
We produce GPCRQTY, mAbc1TY, and ReceptorcITY :
synthetic materials created with our patented algorithms
to target-design stable water-soluble variants of any
desired protein, especially membrane proteins, while
maintaining the functionality of the original.
The result is a foundational technology:
a fundamental tool that opens many doors.

Monetization
The ability to produce stable water-soluble versions of proteins that are
naturally insoluble brings value to several areas:
• Drug Discovery
• Research Tools
• Diagnostics
• mAB-Similar Products
• Autoimmune/Allergy Therapy
• Viral Therapeutics
• Molecular Sensors
OH2 is a holding company, ultimately intending to form subsidiaries to monetize each.

Drug Discovery 151P
GPCRQTY provides a critical revitalization of drying
pharma pipelines:
— Addresses compounds with poor solubility (over 40% of drugs)
offering increased efficacy and faster, cheaper development.
— Enables novel drug candidates for GPCR-mediated diseases:
Prostate cancer Breast Cancer (CXCR4) Lung cancer (GPR87)
(GPR68/OGR1) Parkinson's (GPCR 37) Alzheimer's (GPR3)
Cancer metastasis (CXCR4) Asthma (CCR3.CXCR2) Arteriosclerosis (GPRS 176)
Leukemia (P2Y8/P2 R Y8) Ovarian Cancer (OGR1) Colon cancer (MASI )
Bipolar disorder (GPRS 78) Autism (GPCR 63) Diabetes (GPCR 21)
Osteoarthritis (GPR22)
(Plus over 700 others and the list grows almost daily.)

Research Tools
Providing GPCRQTY, mAbc1TY, and ReceptorQTY products to
research laboratories, enables others to explore the
benefits of water-soluble proteins.

mAB-Similar Products
mAbQT't' offers new molecular therapeutics:
— Target-designed to be similar to monoclonal antibodies, but
easier to produce.
— Engineered to reduce mAb aggregation and increase long-
term storage.
OH2 Laboratories, LLC

EFTA00586585
Autoimmune/Allergy Therapy
GPCRQTY can be used as a decoy therapy (similar to
Enbrel/Etanercept).
This approach can theoretically be used for any disease or
condition associated with GPCR signaling.
OH2 Laboratories, LLC

EFTA00586586
Viral Therapeutics
ReceptorsQTY can be use to trap viruses including: HIV,
Ebola, Marburg & Lassa - for rapid reduction of viral loads.
OH2 Laboratories, LLC

EFTA00586587
Molecular Sensors
Due to their stability, low-cost and high degree of molecular
selectivity, Receptorsc/TY can be used to create ultra-
sensitive bionic detectors. (e.g. a chip-based bionic nose.)

The Science -
Using CXCR4 as an example
The following 7 slides explains how we can produce CXCR4QTY ,
a functional soluble CXCR4 variant.
• Re-Coding CXCR4
• Comparing Structures
• Comparing Solubility
• Thermal Stability
• Circular dichroism Spectra
• Natural SDF1 ligand Binding
• X-Ray Diffraction
The variant structure was target-designed, not by trial and error.
