ABOPD: Antibody CDR Design via On-Policy Distillation

תקציר מקורי באנגליתarXiv:2607.18835v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Antibodies are essential therapeutic molecules, and their complementarity-determining regions (CDRs) form the primary antigen-recognition interface. Recent protein generative models have demonstrated broad capabilities in biomolecular design, yet post-training strategies for downstream objectives remain limited. Standard denoising training operates on noisy states obtained by perturbing native structures, whereas recursive generation proceeds through model-generated intermediate states. For flexible antibody CDR loops such as CDR-H3, this mismatch can allow backbone deviations to accumulate along the denoising trajectory and compromise antigen-facing loop geometry. We introduce ABOPD, an antibody design framework based on on-policy distillati
