DESCRIPTION


The prediction output for each molecule consists of the following columns:

  • Pos Residue number (starting from 0)

  • MHC MHC molecule name

  • Peptide Amino acid sequence

  • Of Starting position offset of the optimal binding core (starting from 0)

  • Core Binding core register

  • Core_Rel Reliability of the binding core, expressed as the fraction of networks in the ensemble selecting the optimal core

  • Inverted Whether the peptide binds inverted to the given MHC molecule (1: inverted, 0: forward)

  • Identity Annotation of the input sequence, if specified

  • Score_EL Eluted ligand prediction score

  • %Rank_EL Percentile rank of eluted ligand prediction score

  • Exp_bind If the input was given in PEPTIDE format with an annotated affinity value (mainly for benchmarking purposes).

  • Score_BA Predicted binding affinity in log-scale (printed only if binding affinity predictions were selected)

  • Affinity(nM) Predicted binding affinity in nanomolar IC50 (printed only if binding affinity predictions were selected)

  • %Rank_BA % Rank of predicted affinity compared to a set of 100.000 random natural peptides. This measure is not affected by inherent bias of certain molecules towards higher or lower mean predicted affinities (printed only if binding affinity predictions were selected)

  • BindLevel (SB: strong binder, WB: weak binder). The peptide will be identified as a strong binder if the % Rank is below the specified threshold for the strong binders. The peptide will be identified as a weak binder if the % Rank is above the threshold of the strong binders but below the specified threshold for the weak binders.
