SEMA (Spatial Epitope Modelling with Artificial intelligence) is a set of research tools for sequence- and structure-based conformational B-cell eptiope prediction, accurate identification of N-glycosylation sites, and a distinctive module for comparing the structures of antigen B-cell epitopes enhancing our ability to analyze and understand its immunogenic properties.
SEMA is also availble via web-interface.

Involves the use of sequence-based (SEMA-1D) and structure-based (SEMA-3D) approaches. SEMA-1D model is based on an ensemble of ESM2 transformer deep neural network protein language models. SEMA-3D model is based on an ensemble of inverse folding models, SaProt. Both models were fine-tuned to predict the antigen interaction propensity of the amino acid (AA) residue with Fab regions of immunoglobulins. SEMA provides an interpretable score indicating the log-scaled expected number of contacts with antibody residues.

The N-glycosylation prediction model (SEMA_PTM) was obtained by adding a fully-connected linear layer on the top layer of the ESM-2 pre-trained model.

The model is trained to identify local structural similarities within proteins, based on the non-linear transformation of multiplication of the embeddings of PLM with geometric modalities.

We used SaProt as base model for SEMA-3D and epitope comparison model. This model utilizes 3Di tokens, prodused by Foldseek. To create 3Di tokens we used foldseek_util.py
script from SaProt and foldseek binary file. These files are stored at ./saprot_utils
folder
