Question
Chapter 30, Problem 32P
Interpretation Introduction
Interpretation:
In the T-cell receptor, the part of the polypeptide chain acting as a binding site and the component-binding with it should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The TCR or the T-cell receptor refers to a molecule found on the surface of t lymphocytes or T-cells, which is accountable for determining the fragments of antigens as the peptides bound to the MHC (major histocompatibility complex) molecules.
