Antibody Engineering Design
Antibodies, or immunoglobulins, are critical components of the immune system. They function by recognizing and binding to specific antigens, leading to their neutralization or destruction. In recent years, engineered antibodies have emerged as powerful therapeutic agents due to their ability to specifically target disease-causing agents. The process of designing these antibodies, however, can be complex and time-consuming. CD ComputaBio employs a multidisciplinary approach to antibody engineering, our state-of-the-art technologies allow us to create custom-tailored solutions that enhance the specificity, affinity, and stability of antibody candidates.
Antibody Engineering Design
Antibody Discovery
Our antibody discovery service utilizes powerful computational tools to identify potential antibody candidates from large sequence databases. We combine sequence alignments, structural predictions, and epitope mapping to uncover high-potential candidates. This enables clients to quickly progress from target identification to lead optimization.
Structural Modeling
CD ComputaBio offers advanced structural modeling of antibodies to predict their three-dimensional conformations. By applying molecular dynamics simulations and protein-protein docking tools, we generate accurate structures that inform downstream development processes.
Humanization of Antibodies
For therapeutic use, non-human antibodies often require humanization to reduce immunogenicity. Our humanization service utilizes computational algorithms to transform murine or other non-human antibodies into human-like variants. We focus on maintaining affinity and minimizing structural discrepancies to ensure optimal performance in human applications.
Affinity Maturation
Improving the affinity of antibodies is vital for their therapeutic effectiveness. Our affinity maturation service employs computational engineering techniques to enhance binding through various strategies, including site-directed mutagenesis and in silico screening of library variants. This iterative process allows for the optimization of lead candidates with improved specificity and stability.
