New computational methods boost antibody-antigen interaction modeling

Researchers have developed new computational methods to improve the modeling of antibody-antigen interactions, a crucial step in discovering therapeutic antibodies. Existing protein language models (PLMs) show promise for predicting antibody structures but struggle with complex interactions without co-evolutionary data. The study introduces two new techniques, MSA refinement and convergence-aware recycling, which enhance existing models like AlphaFold3 for antibody-antigen complex prediction without requiring retraining.

    Computational Modeling of Antibody-Antigen Complexes: PLM-Based and MSA-Based Approaches

    Antibodies play a central role in the immune response by specifically recognizing and neutralizing antigens, and therapeutic antibodies have become major drugs for cancer and autoimmune diseases. However, their discovery still relies on extensive in vitro screening, and accurate …
