Researchers have developed EMBER, a novel framework for predicting T-cell receptor (TCR) and peptide-MHC (pMHC) binding. Unlike traditional methods that require a docked complex, EMBER analyzes independently folded TCR and pMHC structures, encoding them as SE(3)-invariant residue graphs. This approach bypasses the placement errors inherent in complex docking, leading to improved accuracy and stability across various folding tools. EMBER also offers computational advantages, requiring fewer operations for preprocessing monomer folds compared to complex-based predictors. AI
