• Abstract: Designing antibody sequences to better resemble those observed in natural human repertoires is a key challenge in biologics development. We introduce IgCraft: a multi-purpose model for paired human antibody sequence generation, built on Bayesian Flow Networks. IgCraft presents one of the first unified generative modeling frameworks capable of addressing multiple antibody sequence design tasks with a single model, including unconditional sampling, sequence inpainting, inverse folding, and CDR motif scaffolding. Our approach achieves competitive results across the full spectrum of these tasks while constraining generation to the space of human antibody sequences, exhibiting particular strengths in CDR motif scaffolding (grafting) where we achieve state-of-the-art performance in terms of humanness and preservation of structural properties. By integrating previously separate tasks into a single scalable generative model, IgCraft provides a versatile platform for sampling human antibody sequences under a variety of contexts relevant to antibody discovery and engineering. Model code and weights are publicly available at https://github.com/mgreenig/IgCraft.

  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.

• Reprogramming Pretrained Language Models for Antibody Sequence Infilling [72.13295049594585]
  Computational design of antibodies involves generating novel and diverse sequences, while maintaining structural consistency. Recent deep learning models have shown impressive results, however the limited number of known antibody sequence/structure pairs frequently leads to degraded performance. In our work we address this challenge by leveraging Model Reprogramming (MR), which repurposes pretrained models on a source language to adapt to the tasks that are in a different language and have scarce data.

• Benchmarking deep generative models for diverse antibody sequence design [18.515971640245997]
  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.
