DCP: a new method for the prediction of antibody CDR conformation from sequence

Accurate prediction of the conformation of Complementarity-Determining Regions (CDRs) is important in modelling antibodies for protein engineering applications. A new method termed Disjoint Combinations Profiling (DCP) is presented, representing a considerable advance in the prediction of CDR conformations -
