Article Title: Computational mapping of antibody-receptor energy landscapes to predict membrane internalization
doi: 10.64898/2026.03.13.711720
Figure Lengend Snippet: A Evaluation of the internalization of the five monoclonal antibodies against the JAM-A protein. Treatments were carried out for 0 hours (30 minutes of incubation with each antibody at 37 º C followed by fixation) and 12 hours (treatment for 30 minutes, following by washing and incubation for 12 hours at 37 º C). White arrows indicate intracellular accumulations of the antibody signal. Inmunofluorescence was then performed as indicated in methods. Images were taken using a Nikon Eclipse E200 inverted fluorescence microscope and processed using ImageJ software. Computed binding free energy plotted as a function of the experimentally measured percentage of antibody internalization. Each point represents an antibody variant. Shaded regions red and green indicate energetic internalization regimes incompatible or compatible respectively.
