Folding models retooled as antibody screeners: frozen Protenix lifts Origin-1 macro AUROC from 0.669 to 0.757
Antibody screening usually splits specificity, affinity and developability across separate models, and structural information is often compressed into a single confidence score such as ipTM. FoldAbS freezes the open-source folding model Protenix as a shared encoder, trains only lightweight task heads, and supplies specificity supervision with pseudo-negatives built from antigen mismatch, CDRH3 mutation and CDRH3 replacement. With Protenix as backbone, FoldAbS-Px raises macro AUROC on Origin-1 from 0.6690 to 0.7570 and reports the best results on affinity and four developability properties.
