of TLR2, small polar regions were found in the hydrophobic TLR2 pocket. Interactions between the polar residues and ligands were explored here by designing and synthesizing a Pam2CSK4 derivative of the TLR2 ligands, containing an amide group within the lipid moiety. We evaluated the binding affinities and immunomodulatory activities of these ligands. Results suggested that the amide groups in the lipid
