Antibody-antigen binding relies on the specific interaction of amino acids at paratope-epitope interface. The predictability antibody-antigen is a prerequisite for de novo antibody and (neo-)epitope design. A fundamental premise existence motifs that are universally shared among structures. In dataset non-redundant structures, we identify structural motifs, which together compose commonly structure-based vocabulary interactions. We show this enables machine learnability level using...

Generative machine learning (ML) has been postulated to become a major driver in the computational design of antigen-specific monoclonal antibodies (mAb). However, efforts confirm this hypothesis have hindered by infeasibility testing arbitrarily large numbers antibody sequences for their most critical parameters: paratope, epitope, affinity, and developability. To address challenge, we leveraged lattice-based antibody-antigen binding simulation framework, which incorporates wide range...

Antibodies are multimeric proteins capable of highly specific molecular recognition. The complementarity determining region 3 the antibody variable heavy chain (CDRH3) often dominates antigen-binding specificity. Hence, it is a priority to design optimal antigen-specific CDRH3 develop therapeutic antibodies. combinatorial structure sequences makes impossible query binding-affinity oracles exhaustively. Moreover, antibodies expected have high target specificity and developability. Here, we...

Abstract Lathe waste contains 97% iron, which has the potential as a raw material for producing hematite pigment (α-Fe 2 O 3 ). Guava leaf extract tannin, reducing agent in synthesizing hematite. In this study, was synthesized using hydrothermal method at temperatures of 120, 140, and 160°C, then calcined hours temperature 750°C. XRD, Color reader, FTIR, SEM characterized resulting products. The XRD characterization shows that product before after calcination with rhombohedral structure....

The adaptive immune system is a natural diagnostic and therapeutic. It recognizes threats earlier than clinical symptoms manifest neutralizes antigen with exquisite specificity. Recognition specificity broad reactivity enabled via B- T-cell receptors: the receptor repertoire. human system, however, not omnipotent. Our defense sometimes loses battle to parasites microbes even turns against us in case of cancer, autoimmune inflammatory disease. A long-standing dream immunoengineers has been,...

Abstract Summary B- and T-cell receptor repertoires of the adaptive immune system have become a key target for diagnostics therapeutics research. Consequently, there is rapidly growing number bioinformatics tools repertoire analysis. Benchmarking such crucial ensuring reproducible generalizable computational analyses. Currently, however, it remains challenging to create standardized ground truth immunoinformatics tool benchmarking. Therefore, we developed immuneSIM, an R package that allows...

Designing effective monoclonal antibody (mAb) therapeutics faces a multi-parameter optimization challenge known as "developability", which reflects an antibody's ability to progress through development stages based on its physicochemical properties. While natural antibodies may provide valuable guidance for mAb selection, we lack comprehensive understanding of developability parameter (DP) plasticity (redundancy, predictability, sensitivity) and how the DP landscapes human-engineered relate...

1 Abstract There is currently considerable interest in the field of de novo antibody design, and deep learning techniques are now regularly applied to optimise properties such as binding affinity. However, robust baselines within this have not kept up with recent developments. In study, we generate a dataset over 524,000 Trastuzumab variants use show that standard computational methods BLOSUM, AbLang, ESM, Protein-MPNN can be used design diverse libraries from just single starting sequence....

The process of recombination between variable (V), diversity (D), and joining (J) immunoglobulin (Ig) gene segments determines an individual's naive Ig repertoire and, consequently, (auto)antigen recognition. VDJ follows probabilistic rules that can be modeled statistically. So far, it remains unknown whether differ individuals. If these differed, identical (auto)antigen-specific sequences would generated with individual-specific probabilities, signifying the available sequence space is...

B and T cell receptor (immune) repertoires can represent an individual's immune history. While current repertoire analysis methods aim to discriminate between health disease states, they are typically based on only a limited number of parameters. Here, we introduce immuneREF: quantitative multidimensional measure adaptive (and transcriptome) similarity that allows interpretation variation by relying both features cross-referencing simulated experimental datasets. To quantify landscapes...

Abstract Adaptive immune receptor repertoires (AIRR) are key targets for biomedical research as they record past and ongoing adaptive responses. The capacity of machine learning (ML) to identify complex discriminative sequence patterns renders it an ideal approach AIRR-based diagnostic therapeutic discovery. To date, widespread adoption AIRR ML has been inhibited by a lack reproducibility, transparency, interoperability. immuneML ( immuneml.uio.no ) addresses these concerns implementing each...
