dyAb: Flow Matching for Flexible Antibody Design with AlphaFold-driven Pre-binding Antigen

  • 结合粗粒度对齐与细粒度流匹配,模拟抗原-抗体动态结合过程
  • 在构象变化的抗原上,抗体设计准确率显著优于现有模型
  • 适合抗体药物研发人员,尤其关注动态结构变化的场景

治疗性抗体的开发严重依赖对抗原与抗体相互作用的精确预测。现有计算方法常忽略抗原在结合过程中发生的关键构象变化,严重影响抗体可靠性。为此,我们提出dyAb,一个融合AlphaFold2预测预结合态抗原结构的灵活框架,专门应对抗原构象动态变化。dyAb采用独特的粗粒度界面对齐与细粒度流匹配技术,模拟抗原-抗体复合物的相互作用动态与结构演化,实现对结合过程的真实建模。大量实验表明,dyAb在涉及抗原构象变化的抗体设计任务中显著优于现有模型。结果表明,dyAb有望简化治疗性抗体的设计流程,推动更高效的开发周期和更好的临床应用效果。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

The development of therapeutic antibodies heavily relies on accurate predictions of how antigens will interact with antibodies. Existing computational methods in antibody design often overlook crucial conformational changes that antigens undergo during the binding process, significantly impacting the reliability of the resulting antibodies. To bridge this gap, we introduce dyAb, a flexible framework that incorporates AlphaFold2-driven predictions to model pre-binding antigen structures and specifically addresses the dynamic nature of antigen conformation changes. Our dyAb model leverages a unique combination of coarse-grained interface alignment and fine-grained flow matching techniques to simulate the interaction dynamics and structural evolution of the antigen-antibody complex, providing a realistic representation of the binding process. Extensive experiments show that dyAb significantly outperforms existing models in antibody design involving changing antigen conformations. These results highlight dyAb's potential to streamline the design process for therapeutic antibodies, promising more efficient development cycles and improved outcomes in clinical applications.
