Understanding TR binding to pMHC complexes: how does a TR scan many pMHC complexes yet preferentially bind to one.

Understanding the basis of the binding of a T cell receptor (TR) to the peptide-MHC (pMHC) complex is essential due to the vital role it plays in adaptive immune response. We describe the use of computed binding (free) energy (BE), TR paratope, pMHC epitope, molecular surface electrostatic potential...
