AbFlow is a one‑step flow‑matching framework that designs full‑atom antibodies end‑to‑end, focusing on the paratope region. It uses an equivariant Surface Multi‑channel Encoder to incorporate surface‑level antigen interaction data, refining especially the CDR‑H3 region. Experiments demonstrate that AbFlow generates superior antigen‑antibody complexes with improved binding affinity, particularly at the contact interface.

DuaDeep-SeqAffinity is a sequence-only deep learning framework that predicts antibody–antigen binding affinity directly from primary amino acid sequences, eliminating the need for resolved 3D structures. The model processes the antigen and the antibody heavy and light chains as three independent streams, each embedded with a frozen ESM‑2 protein language model and passed through parallel Transformer and CNN branches before late fusion. On a sequence‑disjoint split of the AbRank benchmark, it achieves a Pearson correlation of 0.683, an R² of 0.460, and a pairwise ranking AUC of 0.895, outperforming single‑branch ablations and showing attention to CDR loops and epitope residues.

Antibodies are essential proteins that play a central role in immune recognition by binding specific antigen molecules. Although recent protein language models have enabled progress in single-chain protein modeling and generation, they often fall short in antigen-specific antibody design, where effective modeling requires explicit pairing between antibody and antigen, particularly at the epitope level.

TorchCraft is a unified binder‑design framework that optimizes sequence logits using a frozen all‑atom structure predictor. It integrates confidence, contact, geometric, and sequence‑prior objectives within TorchFold to design minibinders, framework‑conditioned VHHs, cyclic peptides, and ligand‑binding proteins. Using pretrained AlphaFold 3 weights, TorchCraft produced experimentally validated binders across four targets without post‑hoc redesign, and computational tests confirmed its applicability to cyclic peptides and ligand‑conditioned pocket design.
arXiv:2606. 19377v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Computational enzyme design requires generating proteins that scaffold catalytic residues and ligands, a task that demands both geometric accuracy and structural diversity from the underlying generative model.
