T cell receptor (TCR) and peptide-major histocompatibility complex (pMHC) interactions that result in T cell activation are complex and have been distinguished by their equilibrium affinity and kinetic profiles. While prior affinity-based models can successfully predict meaningful TCR-pMHC interactions in many cases, they occasionally fail at identifying TCR-pMHC interactions with low binding affinity. This study analyzes TCR-pMHC systems for which empirical kinetic and affinity data exist and prior affinity-based predictions fail. We identify a criteria for TCR-pMHC systems with available kinetic information where the introduction of a correction factor improves energybased model predictions. This kinetic correction factor offers a means to refine existing models with additional data and offers molecular insights to help reconcile previously conflicting reports concerning the influence of TCR-pMHC binding kinetics and affinity on T cell activation.

"Similar papers" are the closest papers from that journal in the model's embedding space. They show what the match is built on, but the ranking comes mostly from a classifier over the whole training set, not from these examples alone.
