This is particularly evident for the chiral allotrope of β-Mn. While it is not possible to determine the sense of chirality of β-Mn with established x-ray diffraction methods, Kikuchi pattern simulation of the enantiomorphs reveals differences, if dynamical electron diffraction is considered. Quantitative comparison between experimental and simulated Kikuchi patterns allows the spatially resolved assignment of the enantiomorph in polycrystalline materials of β-Mn, as well as the structurally strongly related phase Pt2Cu3B. On the basis of enantiomorph distribution maps, crystals were extracted from enantiopure domains by micropreparation techniques. The x-ray diffraction analyses confirm the assignment of the Kikuchi pattern evaluations for Pt2Cu3B and do not allow to distinguish between the enantiomorphs of β-Mn.T cell receptor (TCR) antigen-specific recognition is essential for the adaptive immune system. However, building a TCR-antigen interaction map has been challenging due to the staggering diversity of TCRs and antigens. Accordingly, highly multiplexed dextramer-TCR binding assays have been recently developed, but the utility of the ensuing large datasets is limited by the lack of robust computational methods for normalization and interpretation. Here, we present a computational framework comprising a novel method, ICON (Integrative COntext-specific Normalization), for identifying reliable TCR-pMHC (peptide-major histocompatibility complex) interactions and a neural network-based classifier TCRAI that outperforms other state-of-the-art methods for TCR-antigen specificity prediction. We further demonstrated that by combining ICON and TCRAI, we are able to discover novel subgroups of TCRs that bind to a given pMHC via different mechanisms. Our framework facilitates the identification and understanding
