Demo


In this tutorial, we will generate CDRs for the antigen of SARS-Cov-2 spike protein using PDB ID: 7BZ5.
Step Method
Step1

To submit the job, go to "Job Submission" page.

Step2

Enter your job name at “Name” field and your email at "Email" field.

(Optional) If you want to secure your job, enter the password at "Password" field. The result file will be secured by 7z format with the password.

Step3

Enter PDB ID to optimize antibody. The PDB should contain both antibody and antigen structure. Here we will enter “7bz5”.

(Optional) If you want to use a custom PDB file, upload your PDB file using browse button at “Pdb file” field.

Step4

Set your CDR optimization configurations using “Antibody chains”, “Antigen chains”, “Design chain”, “CDR type”, and “CDR sequence” field.

- Antibody chains: antibody chains to be considered. Enter the chains with ‘,’ separator. CASE-SENSITIVE!

- Antigen chains: antigen chains to be considered. Enter the chains with ‘,’ separator. CASE-SENSITIVE!

- Design chain: the antibody chain to be designed. Enter one antibody chain.

- CDR type: Enter one CDR type to be designed in the antibody. “H1”, “H2”, “H3”, “L1”, “L2”, and “L3” are allowed.

- CDR sequence: enter CDR sequence to be designed.

In this demo, we will used the values below.

- Antibody chains: H,L

- Antigen chains: A

- Design chain: H

- CDR type: H3

- CDR sequence: EAYGMDV

Step5

Set antibody structure modeling configurations using “Sample number”, “Relax number”.

- Sample number: how many antibody samples to be generated. Max=50

- Relax number: how may times the generated antibody structure will be optimized using openMM. Max=10

Here we will use the values below.

- Sample number: 10

- Relax number: 5
