Optimization modeling of single-chain antibody against hepatoma based on similarity algorithm.

ABSTRACT: The purposes was to establish optimal modeling of single-chain antibody molecules based on similarity algorithm and seek the connecting peptides that had the minimal effect on the structure and bioactivity of the variable region of heavy chain (VH) and that of light chain (VL) in a single-chain antibody against liver cancer. After the Linker with different lengths (n=0~7) had been added into single chain fragment variable (ScFv), modeling of the overall sequences of VH, VL and ScFv were conducted respectively. Meanwhile, the peptide chain structure of (Gly4Ser)n was adopted for the connecting peptide. Then the spatial spherical shell layer alignment algorithm based on spherical polar coordinates was utilized for comparing the structural similarity of VH and VL before and after adding conne
