PANDORA v2.0: Benchmarking peptide-MHC II models and software improvements.

ABSTRACT: T-cell specificity to differentiate between self and non-self relies on T-cell receptor (TCR) recognition of peptides presented by the Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC). Investigations into the three-dimensional (3D) structures of peptide:MHC (pMHC) complexes have provided valuable insights of MHC functions. Given the limited availability of experimental pMHC structures and considerable diversity of peptides and MHC alleles, it calls for the development of efficient and reliable computational approaches for modeling pMHC structures. Here we present an update of PANDORA and the systematic evaluation of its performance in modelling 3D structures of pMHC class II complexes (pMHC-II), which play a key role in the cancer immune response. PANDORA is a modelling software that can build low-e
