Fig. 8From: In silico designing of a novel epitope-based candidate vaccine against Streptococcus pneumoniae with introduction of a new domain of PepO as adjuvantMolecular docking of the vaccine with TLR4 receptor. A The complex shows the interaction between the engineered construct and TLR4 that are represented in colored parts and blue, respectively. TLR4 and ODAC interacted with each other by the truncated N-PepO (yellow part). B The Dimplot 2D-interaction plot shows the creation of hydrogen bonds between the designed construct residues (Thr2, Arg3, Asp10, Trp16, Asp59, Arg70, His368, His369, and His372) and TLR4 residues (Asp95, Leu119, Asn143, Lys150, Glu169, Asn173, His199, Gln200, Glu225, Arg227). TLR4 residues, construct residues, hydrogen bonds, and non-bonded residues are depicted in blue, green, green dashed lines, and red/pink eyelashes, respectivelyBack to article page
