Abstract

Structural antibody database (SAbDab; http://opig.stats.ox.ac.uk/webapps/sabdab) is an online resource containing all the publicly available antibody structures annotated and presented in a consistent fashion. The data are annotated with several properties including experimental information, gene details, correct heavy and light chain pairings, antigen details and, where available, antibody-antigen binding affinity. The user can select structures, according to these attributes as well as structural properties such as complementarity determining region loop conformation and variable domain orientation. Individual structures, datasets and the complete database can be downloaded.

  • According to specific criteria, antibody structures from the PDB are listed in SAbDab, a database containing 12,367 Fv region structures as of June 2022, and abYsis.

    “Similarly, according to specific criteria, antibody structures from the PDB are listed in the Structural Antibody Database (SAbDab) [13], a database containing 12 367 Fv region structures as of June 2022, and abYsis [14].”
  • According to SAbDab, of the approximately 150,000 structures deposited in the PDB to date as many as 3500 are identified as containing at least one antibody (or nanobody) chain.

    “According to SAbDab, of the approximately 150 000 structures deposited in the PDB to date as many as 3500 are identified as containing at least one antibody (or nanobody) chain.”
  • The increasing number of structural, sequence and experimental data on antibodies being deposited in the public domain provides the necessary foundation for improving data-driven methods.

    “The increasing number of structural [16], sequence [17] and experimental data [18–21] on antibodies being deposited in the public domain provides the necessary foundation for improving such data-driven methods.”
  • SAbDab specifically allows for a bulk download of its weekly updatable database, providing an up-to-date resource for applications such as antibody modelling or docking.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
