AntiFold predicts sequences which fit into antibody variable domain structures. The tool outputs residue log-likelihoods in CSV format, and can sample sequences to a FASTA format directly. Sampled sequences show high structural agreement with experimental structures.
AntiFold is based on the ESM-IF1 model and is fine-tuned on solved and predicted antibody structures from SAbDab and OAS.

Required parameters:
Input PDBs should be antibody variable domain structures (IMGT positions 1-128).
If no chains are specified, the first two chains will be assumed to be heavy light.
If custom_chain_mode is set, all (10) chains will be run.
- Option 1: PDB file (--pdb_file). We recommend specifying heavy and light chain (--heavy_chain and --light_chain)
- Option 2: PDB folder (--pdb_dir) + CSV file specifying chains (--pdbs_csv)
- Option 3: PDB folder, infer 1st chain heavy, 2nd chain light
Parameters for generating new sequences:
PDBs should be IMGT annotated for the sequence sampling regions to be valid.
- Number of sequences to generate (--num_seq_per_target)
- Region to mutate (--region) based on inverse folding probabilities. Select from list in IMGT_dict (e.g. 'CDRH1 CDRH2 CDRH3')
- Sampling temperature (--sampling_temp) controls generated sequence diversity, by scaling the inverse folding probabilities before sampling. Temperature = 1 means no change, while temperature ~ 0 only samples the most likely amino-acid at each position (acts as argmax).
Optional parameters:
- Multi-chain mode for including antigen or other chains (--custom_chain_mode)
- Extract latent representations of PDB within model (--extract_embeddings)
- Use ESM-IF1 instead of AntiFold model weights (--esm_if1_mode), enables custom_chain_mode
