About TRAIT

TRAIT provides landscape of experimentally verified interactive and non-interactive TCR-antigen pairs, together with multi-dimensional perspectives of interaction features integrating sequences, structures and affinities. The unique features of TRAIT include: i) comprehensive and multi-dimensional information of interactive TCR/antigen pairs including sequences, structures and affinities were collected. ii) The most complete structures of TCR/antigen pairs including 213 experimental validated and 1,575 predicted ones as a supplement are focused on to reveal their interface features. iii) Millions of reliable non-interactive TCR/antigen pairs were uniquely collected, allowing users to query features of amino acids that critical for interaction. iv) 622 mutants of TCRs/antigens were displayed on a separated page to dissect traits of their specific recognition and benefit directed evolution of engineered TCRs.
