Crystal structures of MHC class I complexes reveal the elusive intermediate conformations explored during peptide editing

Abstract Studies have suggested that MHC class I (MHC I) molecules fluctuate rapidly between numerous conformational states and these motions support peptide sampling. To date, MHC I intermediates are largely uncharacterized experimentally and remain elusive. Here, we present x-ray crystal structure...
