• Abstract: We consider the problem of antibody sequence design given 3D structural information. Building on previous work, we propose a fine-tuned inverse folding model that is specifically optimised for antibody structures and outperforms generic protein models on sequence recovery and structure robustness when applied on antibodies, with notable improvement on the hypervariable CDR-H3 loop. We study the canonical conformations of complementarity-determining regions and find improved encoding of these loops into known clusters. Finally, we consider the applications of our model to drug discovery and binder design and evaluate the quality of proposed sequences using physics-based methods.

  We propose an antibody sequence-structure decoupling (ASSD) framework, which separates sequence generation and structure prediction. We also find that the widely used non-autoregressive generators promote sequences with overly repeating tokens. Our results demonstrate that ASSD consistently outperforms existing antibody design models.

  Deep learning-based computational antibody design has attracted popular attention since it automatically mines the antibody patterns from data that could be complementary to human experiences. The computational methods heavily rely on high-quality antibody structure data, which is quite limited. Fortunately, there exists a large amount of sequence data of antibodies that can help model the CDR and alleviate the reliance on structure data.

  One of the crucial steps involved in antibody design is to find an arrangement of amino acids in a protein sequence that improves its binding with a pathogen. Combinatorial optimization of antibodies is difficult due to extremely large search spaces and non-linear objectives. Applying traditional Reinforcement Learning to antibody design optimization results in poor performance. We propose Q-learning, an extension of Q-learning that incorporates structural priors for optimization.

  Deep generative models that learn from sequences alone or from sequences and structures jointly have shown impressive performance on this task. We consider three recently proposed deep generative frameworks for protein design: (AR) the sequence-based autoregressive generative model, (GVP) the precise structure-based graph neural network, and Fold2Seq that leverages a fuzzy and scale-free representation of a three-dimensional fold. We benchmark these models on the task of computational design of antibody sequences, which demand designing sequences with high diversity for functional implication.
