querying heavy and light chain separately or together?

[avilella]

Dears,

I've just found out about this tool, successfully installed it in an Ubuntu Linux computer with an NVidia GPU card with 16Gb VRAM, and ran the prediction script successfully (recommend.py).

I would like to know what's the recommended way of predicting the mutations for the heavy and the light chain (Fv) of a mAb. Should I do it separately for the heavy and the light?

To predict the pdb structure, we use heavy+{GGGGS}x4+light as a single chain input, with the linker being long enough not to interfere with the prediction.

Would that single chain be a good input for the prediction? Or is it better to predict separately the heavy and the light chains?

Thanks in advance

We have just been providing the VH and VL sequences separately, e.g.,
