Results from LimitationRecognizer: We detected the following sentences addressing limitations in the study:High binding energies can be used as an additional metric to filter low-affinity peptides in the NetMHCpan-4.0 predictions, with the caveat that high energies can be also due to incomplete optimization of the Rosetta energy function as a result of significant deviations between the target and template backbone conformations, not captured by our protocol. We performed 10 independent calculations for each peptide, and the 3 lower-energy models were selected as the final ensemble and used to compute an average binding energy. The results for all 9mer peptides are summarized in Figures 3e, f, while additional results for 10mers are provided through our web-interface and outlined in Supplemental Table 1. As a positive reference, we used the binding energies of the idealized and relaxed PDB templates, which are at a local minimum of the Rosetta scoring function. As a reference set for sub-optimal binders, we modeled decoy structures of poly alanine (polyA) peptide sequences (predicted by NetMHCpan-4.0 to be a top 9th percentile binder for HLA-A*02:01), threaded onto the same PDB templates. We observe a significant, negative (−26 kcal/mol) energy gap between the average binding energies for PDB templates and poly alanine models. The binding energies for all modeled 9mers from the SARS-CoV-2 genome fall between the average energies of the optimal PDB templates and sub-optimal polyA binders, and show a bimodal distribution with significant overlap with the refined PDB template energie...
