Abstract:
The peptide binding to Major Histocompatibility Complex (MHC) proteins is an important step in the antigen-presentation pathway. Thus, predicting the binding potential of peptides with MHC is essential for the design of peptide-based therapeutics. Most of the available machine learning-based models predict the peptide-MHC binding based on the sequence of amino acids alone. Given the importance of structural information in determining the stability of the complex, here we have utilized both the complex structure and the peptide sequence features to predict the binding affinity of peptides to human receptor HLA-A*02:01. To our knowledge, no such model has been developed for the human HLA receptor before that incorporates both structure and sequence-based features
