Conformational flexibility of a free and TCR-bound pMHC-I protein investigated by long-term molecular dynamics simulations

Abstract Background Major histocompatibility complexes (MHCs) play a crucial role in the cell-mediated adaptive immune response as they present antigenic peptides (p) which are recognized by host T cells through a complex formation of the T cell receptor (TCR) with pMHC. In the present study, we rep...
