Title:
GENERATION OF PROTEIN SEQUENCES USING MACHINE LEARNING TECHNIQUES
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2020/236839
Kind Code:
A3
Abstract:
Amino acid sequences of antibodies can be generated using a generative adversarial network that includes a first generating component that generates amino acid sequences of antibody light chains and a second generating component that generates amino acid sequences of antibody heavy chains. Amino acid sequences of antibodies can be produced by combining the respective amino acid sequences produced by the first generating component and the second generating component. The training of the first generating component and the second generating component can proceed at different rates. Additionally, the antibody amino acids produced by combining amino acid sequences from the first generating component and the second generating component may be evaluated according to complentarity-determining regions of the antibody amino acid sequences. Training datasets may be produced using amino acid sequences that correspond to antibodies have particular binding affinities with respect to molecules, such as binding affinity with major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules.
