Ab structure prediction has made great strides, but accurately modeling CDR H3 loops remains elusive. Unlike the other five CDR loops, CDR H3 does not adopt canonical conformations and must be modeled de novo. During Antibody Modeling Assessment II, we found that biasing simulations toward kinked conformations enables generating low-root mean square deviation models (Weitzner et al. 2014. Proteins 82: 1611-1623), and since then, we have presented new geometric parameters defining the kink confor ...[more]
