Researchers have developed new computational methods to improve the modeling of antibody-antigen complexes, addressing a performance gap compared to general protein-protein interactions. The study explored protein language models (PLMs) for antibody structure prediction, achieving strong results for CDR-H3 accuracy. However, single-sequence PLMs struggled with complex prediction without co-evolutionary signals. To overcome this, the team introduced MSA refinement and convergence-aware recycling techniques, which enhanced AlphaFold3's baseline performance on antibody-antigen complex prediction without requiring model retraining.
