The docking result of HBeAg and TLR2. (a) The interaction of HBeAg with the accessible area of TLR2. (b) Docking of the a helices in the major groove of TLR2 with HBeAg as the ribbon form. The amino acids residues Cys14, Pro15, Thr16, Val17, and Gln18 of precore protein (HBeAg) colored in yellow bonding to Leu59, Ser60, Asn61, Asn62 and Arg63 of TLR2 that appeared in light blue.
