    Paragraph inputs and parameters

    Up to 20 sequences and the probability threshold that decides which residues are paratope — plus why only imgt works, since a chothia request is rejected.

    paragraphinputs

    You provide antibody variable-region sequences and set the chain type and a probability threshold. The threshold is the knob that decides which residues get called paratope: lower it to catch marginal contacts, raise it for a high-confidence core. The chain type tells Paragraph which chain's residues to report.

    Sequences

    sequencesstring[]required

    Antibody variable-region amino acid sequences. One to 20 per job.

    sequence_namesstring[]

    Optional names for each sequence.

    Chain type and scheme

    chain_typestringdefault: H

    Chain type: H for heavy, L for light.

    schemestringdefault: imgt

    Numbering scheme for position annotation. Only imgt actually works — Paragraph's region boundaries are IMGT-only, and a chothia request is rejected with an error rather than silently mislabeled. For Chothia numbering, use ANARCI instead.

    Threshold

    thresholdfloatdefault: 0.5

    Probability at or above which a residue is called part of the paratope (0.0–1.0).
