Abstract excerpt
The energetic bases of T cell recognition are unclear. Here, we studied the 'energetic landscape' of peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) recognition by an immunodominant alphabeta T cell receptor (TCR). We quantified and evaluated the effect of natural and systematic substitutions in the complementarity-determining region (CDR) loops on ligand binding in the context of the structural detail of each...
