| Abstract | T-cells recognize antigens via their T-cell receptors. The major histocompatibility complex (MHC) binds antigens in a specific way, transports them to the surface and presents the peptides to the TCR. Many in silico approaches have been developed to predict the binding characteristics of potential T-cell epitopes (peptides), with most of them being based solely on the amino acid sequence. We present a structural approach which provides insights into the spatial binding geometry. We combine different tools for side chain substitution (threading), energy minimization, as well as scoring methods for protein/peptide interfaces. The focus of this study is on high data throughput in combination with accurate results. These methods are not meant to predict the accurate binding free energy but to give a certain direction for the classification of peptides into peptides that are potential binders and peptides that definitely do not bind to a given MHC structure. In total we performed approximately 83,000 binding affinity prediction runs to evaluate interactions between peptides and MHCs, using different combinations of tools. Depending on the tools used, the prediction quality ranged from almost random to around 75% of accuracy for correctly predicting a peptide to be either a binder or a non-binder. The prediction quality strongly depends on all three evaluation steps, namely, the threading of the peptide, energy minimization and scoring. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
