Epitope flexibility and dynamic footprint revealed by molecular dynamics of a pMHC-TCR complex.

The crystal structures of unliganded and liganded pMHC molecules provide a structural basis for TCR recognition yet they represent 'snapshots' and offer limited insight into dynamics that may be important for interaction and T cell activation. MHC molecules HLA-B*3501 and HLA-B*3508 both b...
