Abstract: Methods and associated apparatus involving designing a ligand ab initio that will bind to a binding site of a macromolecular target, or of identifying a modification to a ligand for improving the affinity of the ligand to a binding site of a macromolecular target, comprising using information about non-bonding, intra-molecular or inter-molecular atom to atom contacts extracted from a database of biological macromolecules to identify favoured regions adjacent to the binding site for particular atom types and modifying a candidate ligand to increase the intersection between atoms of the candidate ligand and the favoured regions. One or more steps of the methods may be performed by a computer.

Abstract: Compositions and methods relating to antibodies that specifically bind to TGF-beta binding proteins are provided. These methods and compositions relate to altering bone mineral density by interfering with the interaction between a TGF-beta binding protein sclerostin and a TGF-beta superfamily member, particularly a bone morphogenic protein. Increasing bone mineral density has uses in diseases and conditions in which low bone mineral density typifies the condition, such as osteopenia, osteoporosis, and bone fractures.

Abstract: Computer-implemented methods of designing an antibody that will bind to a target epitope are disclosed. In one arrangement, the method comprises identifying one or more hotspot residues that will each bind to a corresponding one of one or more hotspot sites on the target epitope. Candidate antibody structures are selected from a database such that characteristic atoms within the antibody structure and hotspot characteristic atoms can be superimposed computationally with an averaged spatial deviation less than a predetermined threshold. A designed antibody is generated by replacing matching residues with different residues such that a predicted affinity is increased.
