## Download
This dataset contains binary PyTorch files (`.pt`) and PDB structures that require manual download. Use the HuggingFace CLI:
```bash
export CHIMERA_DATA_ROOT=/path/to/chimera-bench-v1.0
huggingface-cli download mansoorbaloch/chimera-bench --repo-type dataset --local-dir $CHIMERA_DATA_ROOT
```

## Complex Features Format
Each `.pt` file is a Python dict with:
**Sequences**
- `complex_id`: str -- unique identifier ({pdb}_{Hchain}_{Lchain}_{Agchain})
- `heavy_sequence`, `light_sequence`, `antigen_sequence`: str -- one-letter AA
**Coordinates**
- `heavy_atom14_coords`: float32 (N_h, 14, 3) -- 14-atom representation
- `heavy_atom14_mask`: bool (N_h, 14) -- valid atom flags
- `heavy_ca_coords`: float32 (N_h, 3) -- CA-only coordinates
- Same for `light_*` and `antigen_*`
**Annotations**
- `epitope_residues`: list of (chain, resid, resname) tuples
- `paratope_residues`: list of (chain, resid, resname) tuples
- `contact_pairs`: list of (ab_chain, ab_resid, ab_resname, ag_chain, ag_resid, ag_resname, distance)
**Numbering**
- `numbering`: dict with `imgt` and `chothia` sub-dicts, each containing `heavy` and `light` lists of (resnum, icode, aa) tuples
- `cdr_masks`: dict with `imgt` and `chothia` sub-dicts, each containing `heavy` and `light` int lists (-1=framework; heavy: 0=H1, 1=H2, 2=H3; light: 3=L1, 4=L2, 5=L3)
**Surface Features**
- `ag_surface_points`: float32 (128, 3) -- sampled antigen surface points
- `ag_surface_normals`: float32 (128, 3)
- `ag_surface_curvatures`: float32 (128, 2) -- mean and Gaussian curvature
- `ag_surface_chemical_feats`: float32 (128, 6) -- hydropathy, charge, H-bond donor/acceptor, aromaticity, polarity
- Same for `heavy_surface_*` and `light_surface_*`
## Splits
| Split | Train | Val | Test | Generalization Axis |
|-------|------:|----:|-----:|---------------------|
| epitope_group | 2,338 | 292 | 292 | Unseen epitope patterns |
| antigen_fold | 2,338 | 292 | 292 | Unseen antigen folds |
| temporal | 2,337 | 292 | 293 | Prospective (by deposition date) |
Each split JSON has keys `train`, `val`, `test` mapping to lists of complex_id strings.
## Evaluation Metrics
| Group | Metrics |
|-------|---------|
| Sequence quality | AAR, CAAR, PPL |
| Structural accuracy | RMSD (Kabsch-aligned CA), TM-score |
| Binding interface | Fnat, iRMSD, DockQ |
| Epitope specificity | EpiF1 (precision, recall, F1) |
| Designability | n_liabilities (NG, DG, DS, DD, NS, NT, M motifs) |
## Quick Start
```python
import torch, json, pandas as pd
# Load metadata
summary = pd.read_csv("metadata/final_summary.csv")
# Load a split
with open("splits/epitope_group.json") as f:
split = json.load(f)
print(f"Train: {len(split['train'])}, Val: {len(split['val'])}, Test: {len(split['test'])}")
# Load a complex
feat = torch.load(f"complex_features/{split['test'][0]}.pt", weights_only=False)
print(feat['complex_id'], feat['heavy_sequence'][:20], "...")
print(f"Epitope residues: {len(feat['epitope_residues'])}")
print(f"CDR-H3 (IMGT): positions where cdr_masks['imgt']['heavy'] == 2")
```
