Example notebook https://github.com/kopalgarg24/GraphBepi/blob/main/graphbepi.ipynb

Intro

GraphBepi is a novel graph-based method for accurate B-cell epitope prediction, which is able to capture spatial information using the predicted protein structures through the edge-enhanced deep graph neural network.

We recommend you to use the web server of GraphBepi if your input is small.

System requirement

GraphBepi is developed under Linux environment with:

python 3.9.12
numpy 1.21.5
pandas 1.4.2
fair-esm 2.0.0
torch 1.12.1
pytorch-lightning 1.6.4
(optional) esmfold

Software requirement

To run the full & accurate version of GraphBepi, you need to make sure the following software is in the mkdssp directory:
DSSP (dssp ver 2.0.4 is Already in this repository)

Build dataset

git clone https://github.com/biomed-AI/GraphBepi.git && cd GraphBepi
python dataset.py --gpu 0

It will take about 20 minutes to download the pretrained ESM-2 model and an hour to build our dataset with CUDA.

Run GraphBepi for training

After build our dataset BCE_633, train the model with default hyper params:

python train.py --dataset BCE_633

Run GraphBepi for prediction

Please execute the following command directly if you can provide the PDB file.
If you do not have a PDB file, you can use AlphaFold2 to predict the protein structure.

python test.py -i pdb_file -p --gpu 0 -o ./output

We have also deployed a faster structural prediction model ESMFold in our project, so you can process the sequences directly by following the commands below.

python test.py -i fasta_file -f --gpu 0 -o ./output
