Carbohydrate antibodies are an important and specific class of biotherapeutic proteins. As artificial intelligence continues to evolve, Computational Glycoengineering-assisted Modeling is becoming more mature. Accurate structural models are the basis for exploring the properties and activities of antibodies. The folding of antibodies is usually highly conserved. The most difficult to predict are the 6 highly variable loops, together with several framework residues. CD BioGlyco has a specialized Carbohydrate Antibody Development team to provide precise carbohydrate antibody structure prediction services.
CD BioGlyco provides professional computational modeling services based on large datasets and antibody biology information provided by our clients. Heavy and light chain variable domains (Fv) are an important part of computational modeling because they are relevant to most or all of an antibody's specificity for its antigenic target. Our lab has a strong focus on modeling the Fv region of an antibody including the predictive framework (FR) and the variable loop (CDR) region.
Our researchers search the template database for FR and select templates for the CDR region from the typical ring conformations aggregated by homology, and obtain a structural model of the Fv region after refinement of the H3 ring. Moreover, we support computational modeling of the entire antibody including the constant region (Fc).
By combining different homology modeling strategies or using other models, our researchers provide accurate carbohydrate antibody structure prediction services.
The Fc region is similar in all antibodies of the same type, so it is very important to predict the structure of Fv. Our computational team is very experienced in antibody structure prediction to help clients predict the structure of Fv and CDR. We provide customized antibody structure prediction solutions according to clients' needs.
The relative orientation of structural domains plays an important role in the analysis of antigen-antibody binding sites. Our lab provides relative structural domain orientation prediction services.
Based on deep learning, we provide FV structure direct prediction service by amino acid sequence.

Results: In this study, researchers developed a new model for predicting antibody structure. The prediction model consists of a training language model trained on 558 million sequences. Compared to other prediction methods, the model takes less time and is more predictive. Moreover, it also directly predicts 3D atomic coordinates and estimates the residual accuracy.
