AntiFold

AntiFold predicts sequences which fit into antibody variable domain structures. The tool outputs residue log-likelihoods in CSV format, and can sample sequences to a FASTA format directly. Sampled sequences show high structural agreement with experimental structures.

AntiFold is based on the ESM-IF1 model and is fine-tuned on solved and predicted antibody structures from SAbDab and OAS.

Webserver

To try AntiFold without installing it, please see our OPIG webserver: https://opig.stats.ox.ac.uk/webapps/antifold/

Install and run AntiFold

Download and install from Github source (recommended - latest release)

conda create --name antifold python=3.10 -y && conda activate antifold
conda install -c conda-forge pytorch
git clone https://github.com/oxpig/AntiFold && cd AntiFold
pip install .

GPU only: install using environment.yml

conda create env -f environment.yml
python -m pip install .

Depending on your CUDA version you may need to change the dependency pytorch-cuda=12.1 in the environment.yml file. Detailed instructions on how to correctly install pytorch for your system can be found here

# Load model

# PDB directory
pdb_dir = "data/pdbs"

# Assumes first chain heavy, second chain light

Input parameters

Required parameters:

Input PDBs should be antibody variable domain structures (IMGT positions 1-128).

If no chains are specified, the first two chains will be assumed to be heavy light.
If custom_chain_mode is set, all (10) chains will be run.

- Option 1: PDB file (--pdb_file). We recommend specifying heavy and light chain (--heavy_chain and --light_chain)
- Option 2: PDB folder (--pdb_dir) + CSV file specifying chains (--pdbs_csv)
- Option 3: PDB folder, infer 1st chain heavy, 2nd chain light

Parameters for generating new sequences:

PDBs should be IMGT annotated for the sequence sampling regions to be valid.

- Number of sequences to generate (--num_seq_per_target)
- Region to mutate (--region) based on inverse folding probabilities. Select from list in IMGT_dict (e.g. 'CDRH1 CDRH2 CDRH3')
- Sampling temperature (--sampling_temp) controls generated sequence diversity, by scaling the inverse folding probabilities before sampling. Temperature = 1 means no change, while temperature ~ 0 only samples the most likely amino-acid at each position (acts as argmax).

Optional parameters:

- Multi-chain mode for including antigen or other chains (--custom_chain_mode)
- Extract latent representations of PDB within model (--extract_embeddings)
- Use ESM-IF1 instead of AntiFold model weights (--esm_if1_mode), enables custom_chain_mode
