Abstract excerpt
T cell receptor recognition of peptide/MHC has been described as proceeding through a "two-step" process in which the TCR first contacts the MHC molecule prior to formation of the binding transition state using the germline-encoded CDR1 and CDR2 loops. The receptor then contacts the peptide using the hypervariable CDR3 loops as the transition state decays to the bound state. The model subdivides TCR binding into...
