Abstract Recognition of antigens by T cell receptors (TCRs) is a key component of adaptive immunity. Understanding the structures of these TCR interactions provides major insights into immune protection and diseases, and enables design of therapeutics, vaccines and predictive modeling algorithms. Previously, we released TCR3d, a database and resource for structures of TCRs and their recognition. Due to the growth of available structures and categories of complexes, the content of TCR3d has expanded substantially in the past 5 years. This expansion includes new tables dedicated to TCR mimic antibody complex structures, TCR-CD3 complexes and annotated Class I and II peptide–MHC complexes. Additionally, tools are available for users to calculate docking geometries for input TCR and TCR mimic complex structures. The core tables of TCR–peptide–MHC complexes have grown by 50%, and include binding affinity data for experimentally determined structures. These major content and feature updates enhance TCR3d as a resource for immunology, therapeutics and structural biology research, and enable advanced approaches for predictive TCR modeling and design.
