Monoclonal Antibody Development leverages computational tools to design and optimize monoclonal antibodies for therapeutic purposes. This approach involves utilizing algorithms and modeling techniques to predict antibody-antigen interactions, enhance antibody specificity and affinity, and optimize pharmacokinetic properties. Classifications of computer-aided monoclonal antibody development include structure-based design, where the 3D structure of the antibody-antigen complex is used for rational design, and sequence-based design, which focuses on predicting and optimizing antibody sequences for desired binding properties.
