Toward enhancement of antibody thermostability and affinity by computational design in the absence of antigen by Mark Hutchinson, Jeffrey A. Ruffolo, Nantaporn Haskins, Michael Iannotti, Giuliana Vozza, Tony Pham, Nurjahan Mehzabeen, Harini Shandilya, Keith Rickert, Rebecca Croasdale-Wood, Melissa Damschroder, Ying Fu, Andrew Dippel, Jeffrey J. Gray, Gilad Kaplan

“…High-quality structural information remains critical for the antibody optimization process, but antibody-antigen complex structures are often unavailable and in silico antibody docking methods are still unreliable. In this study, DeepAb, a deep learning model for predicting antibody Fv structure directly from sequence, was used in conjunction with single-point experimental deep mutational scanning (DMS) enrichment data to design 200 potentially optimized variants of an anti-hen egg lysozyme (HEL) antibody. …”
