This repo contains the codes for our paper Conditional Antibody Design as 3D Equivariant Graph Translation. MEAN is the abbreviation for the Multi-channel Equivariant Attention Network proposed in our paper.
we have prepared the script for environment setup in scripts/setup.sh, please install the dependencies in it with bash scripts/setup.sh
before running our code.
We have provided the summary data used in our paper from SAbDab, RAbD, SKEMPI_V2 in the summaries folder, please download all structure data from the download page of SAbDab. Since the SAbDab is updating on a weekly basis, you may also download the newest summary file from its official website. The following instructions will suppose the structure data renumbered by imgt is located at the folder all_structures/imgt.
We have provided the shell scripts for different procedures of the experiments, which are located either in the folder scripts or in the root folder of our repo. For scripts in scripts, you can run them without arguments to see their hints of usage, which will also be illustrated in README later. One thing that might need explanation is the mode parameter which takes the value of either 100 or 111. 100 means only heavy chain is used in the context, and 111 means heavy chain, light chain as well as the epitope are considered in the context. The later one is the complete setting of antigen-binding CDR design, whereas the first one is only for comparison with RefineGNN. <model type> in the arguments only specifies the prefix of the directory to save/load the checkpoints, we use mean in the following sections. Please try using absolute directories when passing arguments to the scripts if you encounter problems concerning paths.
We have provided the scripts for data preparation, k-fold training and evaluation
here is an example for evaluating our MEAN:
bash scripts/prepare_data_kfold.sh summaries/sabdab_summary.tsv all_structures/imgt
GPU=0 bash scripts/k_fold_train.sh summaries 111 mean 9901
GPU=0 bash scripts/k_fold_eval.sh summaries 111 mean 0
By running bash scripts/prepare_data_kfold.sh summaries/sabdab_summary.tsv all_structures/imgt
, the script will copy the pdbs in the summary to summaries/pdb, transform the summary to json format, and generate 10-fold data splits for each cdr, which requires ~5G space. If you want to do data preparation in another directory, just copy the summary file there and replace the summaries/sabdab_summary.tsv with the new path.
Also, for each parallel run of trainining, the checkpoints will be saved in version 0, 1, ... So you need to specify the version id as the last argument of k_fold_eval.sh.
before running this task, please at least run the commands of downloading json summary of SAbDab in scripts/prepare_data_kfold.sh (line 23-31). We will suppose the json file is located at summaries/sabdab_all.json.
Example:
bash scripts/prepare_data_rabd.sh summaries/rabd_summary.jsonl all_structures/imgt summaries/sabdab_all.json
GPU=0 MODE=111 DATA_DIR=summaries/cdrh3 bash train.sh mean 3
GPU=0 MODE=111 DATA_DIR=summaries/cdrh3 bash rabd_test.sh 0
We have also provided the trained checkpoint used in our paper at checkpoints/ckpt/rabd_cdrh3_mean.ckpt. You can use it for test by running GPU=0 MODE=111 DATA_DIR=summaries/cdrh3 bash rabd_test.sh 0 checkpoints/ckpt/rabd_cdrh3_mean.ckpt
. The results will be saved to the folder named results under the same directory as the checkpoint.
before running this task, please at least run the commands of downloading json summary of SAbDab in scripts/prepare_data_kfold.sh (line 23-31). We will suppose the json file is located at summaries/sabdab_all.json.
Example:
bash scripts/prepare_data_skempi.sh summaries/skempi_v2_summary.jsonl all_structures/imgt summaries/sabdab_all.json
GPU=0 MODE=111 DATA_DIR=summaries bash train.sh mean 3
GPU=0 CKPT_DIR=summaries/ckpt/mean_CDR3_111/version_0 bash ita_train.sh
GPU=0 DATA_DIR=summaries bash ita_generate.sh summaries/ckpt/mean_CDR3_111/version_0/ita/iter_i.ckpt # specify the checkpoint from iteration i for testing
We have also provided the checkpoint after ITA finetuning at checkpoints/ckpt/opt_cdrh3_mean.ckpt. You can directly use it for inference by running GPU=0 DATA_DIR=summaries bash ita_generate.sh checkpoints/ckpt/opt_cdrh3_mean.ckpt
. This script will generate 100 optimized candidates for each antibody in summaries/skempi_all.json and report the top1 in terms of predicted ddg. The pdbs of optimized candidates will be located at the same directory of the checkpoint.
We also provide the script for design / optimization of single CDR at scritps/design.py. The script requires an input pdb containing the heavy chain, the light chain and the antigen. The pdb should be renumbered using the IMGT system in advance, which can be achieved by the script at data/ImmunoPDB.py fron ANARCI. Here is an example of CDR-H3 design for the 1ic7 pdb:
python ./data/ImmunoPDB.py -i data/1ic7.pdb -o 1ic7.pdb -s imgt # renumber the pdb
python ./scripts/design.py --pdb 1ic7.pdb --heavy_chain H --light_chain L
The generated pdb as well as a summary of the CDR-H3 sequence will be saved to ./results.
The default checkpoint used in the script is checkpoints/ckpt/rabd_cdrh3_mean.ckpt. You can pass your own checkpoint by the argument --ckpt path/to/your/checkpoint
(e.g. use the opt_cdrh3_mean.ckpt for CDR optimization)
Further, the script is able to accommodate multiple pdbs as inputs, for example:
python ./scripts/design.py
--pdb pdb1 pdb2 ...
--heavy_chain Hchain1 Hchain2 ...
--light_chain Lchain1 Lchain2 ...
Thank you for your interest in our work!
Please feel free to ask about any questions about the algorithms, codes, as well as problems encountered in running them so that we can make it clearer and better. You can either create an issue in the github repo or contact us at [email protected].
