ImaPEp Antibody-Antigen Binding Prediction
ImaPEp predicts binding probabilities for antibody–antigen pairs by representing their binding interfaces as 2D images and leveraging convolutional neural networks.

ImaPEp is a computational tool designed for predicting the binding probability of paratope–epitope pairs in antibody-antigen complexes. Utilizing a novel image-based approach, ImaPEp simplifies 3D structural data into 2D representations of binding interfaces and employs convolutional neural networks to analyze these interactions. By incorporating physicochemical properties and spatial compatibility, ImaPEp achieves high accuracy in identifying binding pairs and offers valuable insights into antibody design. Its efficiency and scalability make it ideal for applications such as docking pose rescoring, high-throughput screening of paratope libraries, and refining antibody-antigen complex structures, thereby accelerating advancements in immunotherapy and biomedical research.
