a

This study.

b

Solvent accessible surface area of pMHC buried due to binding of its ligand.

c

Ligand-contacting HC residues with side chain apex shift ≥2 Å.

d

Peptide residues with side chain apex shift ≥1 Å.

e

Only the α1- and α2-domains of the HC are compared.

In those cases where more than one molecule within the asymmetric unit is present, only the first molecule has been analyzed.
