MHCBI: a pipeline for calculating peptide-MHC binding energy using semi-empirical quantum mechanical methods with explicit/implicit solvent models

Acceso Cerrado

Abstract:

Experimentally estimating peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) binding affinity has been quite challenging due to the many receptors and the many potential ligands implicated in it. We have thus proposed a straightforward computational methodology considering the different mechanisms involved in pMHC binding to facilitate studying such receptor-ligand interactions. We have developed a pipeline using semi-empirical quantum mechanical methods for calculating pMHC class I and II molecules' binding energy (BE). This pipeline can systematize the methodology for calculating pMHC system BE, enabling the rational design of T-cell epitopes to be used as pharmaceuticals and vaccines.
