Predict epitope based on antigen-antibody complex structure

python design.py --fasta complex_sequence.fasta --antigen complex_structure.pdb --cal_epitope
# --antigen: the structure of a known complex
# --fasta: the sequence of a known complex

• The generated epitope format is (The serial number starts at 1): 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 108 109 110 111 112 113 114 115 116 118 167
• If you specify epitope according to the sequence, make sure that the order of the sequence is consistent with the order in the PDB file, and mark the serial number of the corresponding position.

Given the structure of an antigen, design an antibody

python design.py --fasta design_requirement.fasta --antigen antigen_structure.pdb --epitope 7 8 9 10 11 --output output_dir
# --fasta: Directory path to input design requirement FASTA files, X for design region
# --antigen: Directory path to input antigen PDB files
# --epitope: epitope residues in antigen chain A , for example: 7 8 9 10 11
# --output: Directory path to output PDB files

Affinity maturation for an antibody sequence

python design.py --fasta design_requirement.fasta --antigen antigen_structure.pdb --fasta_origin original_antibody_sequence.fasta --run_task affinity_maturation --num_samples 10 --output output_dir
# --fasta: Directory path to input design requirement FASTA files, X for design region
# --antigen: Directory path to input antigen PDB files
# --fasta_origin: Directory path to original antibody FASTA files for affinity maturation
# --num_samples: number of samples for residue
# --output: Directory path to output PDB files
