Potential Neutralizing Antibodies Discovered for Novel Corona Virus Using Machine Learning
The fast and untraceable virus mutations take lives of thousands of people before the immune system can produce the inhibitory antibody. Recent outbreak of novel coronavirus infected and killed thousands of people in the world. Rapid methods in finding peptides or antibody sequences that can inhibit the viral epitopes of COVID-19 will save the life of thousands. In this paper, we devised a machine learning (ML) model to predict the possible inhibitory synthetic antibodies for Corona virus. We collected 1933 virus-antibody sequences and their clinical patient neutralization response and trained an ML model to predict the antibody response. Using graph featurization with variety of ML methods, we screened thousands of hypothetical antibody sequences and found 8 stable antibodies that potentially inhibit COVID-19. We combined bioinformatics, structural biology, and Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations to verify the stability of the candidate antibodies that can inhibit the Corona virus.

Modeling COVID-19 vaccine-induced immunological memory development and its links to antibody level and infectiousness
COVID-19 vaccines have proven to be effective against SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, the dynamics of vaccine-induced immunological memory development and neutralizing antibodies generation are not fully understood, limit…
Host-pathogen coevolution and the emergence of broadly neutralizing antibodies in chronic infections
The vertebrate adaptive immune system provides a flexible and diverse set of molecules to neutralize pathogens. Yet, viruses such as HIV can cause chronic infections by evolving as quickly as the adaptive immune system, …
COVID-19 Docking Server: A meta server for docking small molecules, peptides and antibodies against potential targets of COVID-19
Motivation: The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) caused by a new type of coronavirus has been emerging from China and led to thousands of death globally since December 2019. Despite many groups have engaged in studyin…
Drug DiscoverySARS-CoV-2 Virus-Like Particles with Plasmonic Au Cores and S1-Spike Protein Coronas
The COVID-19 pandemic has stimulated the scientific world to intensify virus-related studies, aimed at the development of quick and safe ways of detecting viruses in human body, studying the virus-antibody and virus-cell…
Towards Interpreting Zoonotic Potential of Betacoronavirus Sequences With Attention
Current methods for viral discovery target evolutionarily conserved proteins that accurately identify virus families but remain unable to distinguish the zoonotic potential of newly discovered viruses. Here, we apply an …
