Structures of peptide-free and partially loaded MHC class I molecules reveal mechanisms of peptide selection

Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) class I molecules present tightly binding peptides on the cell surface for recognition by cytotoxic T cells. Here, the authors present the crystal structures of a disulfide-stabilized human MHC class I molecule in the peptide-free state and bound with dipeptide...
