AB-ARS®

Antibody-Automatic Report System

Design optimal antibody candidates in 2 weeks via AB-ARS® 3D structural analysis and AI algorithms to simultaneously optimize binding affinity and developability.

AB-ARS®

AB-ARS® — The Intelligent Frontier of Antibody Engineering

Conventional antibody discovery faces structural challenges in early-stage development,
where affinity, stability, and developability must be considered simultaneously,

especially for challenging targets with low predictability.

AB-ARS® addresses these limitations through AI-driven design.

By precisely analyzing target-antibody interactions,

the platform identifies development-ready antibody candidates from the outset,

reducing unnecessary iterations and improving efficiency toward clinical advancement.

AB-ARS®: Navigating the Complex Challenges of Antibody Discovery

01

Epitope Discovery

Identifying antigen binding sites through 3D structure-based prediction

Ab ARS precisely maps weakly binding epitopes by analyzing the 3D structure of the antigen protein.

02

CDR Generation

Creating optimal CDR variant libraries from 1.8M+ peptide-peptide interaction database

Multiple antibody variants with high potential for antigen interaction are designed by comprehensively considering properties such as CDR loop conformation, hydrophobicity, and charge distribution. A peptide–peptide interaction database is leveraged to ensure both diversity and predictive accuracy in antibody design.

03

Antigen-Antibody Binding Simulation

Precise affinity prediction through 3D docking analysis and CNN-based evaluation

The generated antibody candidates undergo 3D docking with the antigen, and various structural indicators, including binding energy, CNN score, and root mean square deviation (RMSD), are analyzed. Finally, molecular dynamics (MD) simulations are performed to assess binding stability.

04

Developability Assessment

Filtering final candidates based on developability assessment

For binding-validated candidates, Ab ARS evaluate additional developability and safety including CDR structural stability, isoelectric point, solubility, and charge distribution to select optimal antibody candidates.
