We have developed a method that utilizes site-specific mutation data, sequence analysis, immunological data and free-energy minimization, to determine structural features of the ternary complex formed by the T-cell receptor (TcR) and the class I major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecule bound by peptide. The analysis focuses on the mouse Kd MHC system, for which a large set of clones with sequenced T-cell receptors is available for specific peptides.
