Antibody Design

Capabilities for structure-based design of antibodies

In traditional IgG or alternative formats

Construct reliable 3D structural models of antibodies directly from sequence

  • Predict antibody structure using a fully guided homology modeling workflow that incorporates de novo CDR loop conformation prediction
  • Perform batch homology modeling to accelerate model construction for a parent sequence and its variants
  • Identify and prioritize promising leads by modeling and triaging antibody sequences with prediction tools for structure characterization

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 high quality protein variants using Residue Scan FEP+ with lambda dynamics
  • Refine antibody candidate selection using Protein Mutation FEP+ with an accuracy that reproduces experimentally determined relative free energies to within ~1 kcal/mol
  • Perform multi-parameter optimization with easily amenable computational workflows e.g. simultaneously optimize for stability, affinity, cross-reactivity, aggregation propensity, and post-translational modification risk
