  • Patent number: 8412461
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer program products for antibody engineering. A variant set for an antibody of interest is constructed by identifying, using a plurality of rules, a plurality of positions in the antibody of interest and, for each respective position in the plurality of positions, substitutions for the respective position. The plurality of positions and the substitutions for each respective position in the plurality of position collectively define an antibody sequence space. A variant set comprising a plurality of variants of the antibody is selected. A property of all or a portion of the variants in the variant set is measured. A sequence-activity relationship is modeled between (i) one or more substitutions at one or more positions of the antibody of interest represented by the variant set and (ii) the property measured for all or the portion of the variants in the variant set.

  • Patent number: 8005620
    Abstract: Methods, computer systems, and computer program products for biopolymer engineering. A variant set for a biopolymer of interest is constructed by identifying, using a plurality of rules, a plurality of positions in the biopolymer of interest and, for each respective position in the plurality of positions, substitutions for the respective position. The plurality of positions and the substitutions for each respective position in the plurality of positions collectively define a biopolymer sequence space. A variant set comprising a plurality of variants of the biopolymer of interest is selected. A property of all or a portion of the variants in the variant set is measured. A sequence-activity relationship is modeled between (i) one or more substitutions at one or more positions of the biopolymer of interest represented by the variant set and (ii) the property measured for all or the portion of the variants in the variant set.
