Deskripsi

MHCII proteins bind and present both foreign and self-antigens to potentially activate CD4+ T cells via cognate T cell receptors (TCRs) during the adaptive immune response. Here, the authors combine NMR-detected H/D exchange with Markov modelling analysis to shed light on the dynamics of MHCII peptide exchange.
