Capabilities for structure-based design of antibodies
In traditional IgG or alternative formats
Construct reliable 3D structural models of antibodies directly from sequence
Streamline rational antibody humanization
- Generate humanized antibodies through CDR grafting in conjunction with targeted residue mutations
- Evaluate the percentage of humanness of resulting constructs
Understand and predict antibody-antigen interactions
- Predict antibody-antigen complex structures through ensemble protein-protein docking
- Enhance resolution of experimental epitope mapping data (e.g. mutagenesis or mass-spectroscopy) from peptide to residue level detail
- Identify favorable antibody-antigen contacts through fast protein-protein docking
- Interrogate and analyze predicted protein-protein interactions with an easily accessible graphical user interface
Derisk development by uncovering potential liabilities earlier
- Identify and prioritize promising leads by modeling and triaging antibody sequences with prediction tools for structure characterization
- Highlight potential surface sites for post-translational modification and chemical reactivity
- Detect potential hotspots for aggregation using computational protein surface analysis
Engineer antibodies in silico
- Accurately predict the impact of residue substitution on binding affinity, selectivity, and thermostability
- Rapidly identify mutants with the highest likelihood of meeting project thermostability, binding affinity, and selectivity requirements using MM/GBSA, a fast molecular mechanics-based method
- Refine candidate selection using a systematically validated, free energy-based workflow which provides an accuracy that reproduces experimentally determined relative free energies
