Sumario:[Image: see text] Toll-like receptors (TLRs) are transmembrane proteins that recognize various molecular patterns and activate signaling that triggers the immune response. In this review, our goal is to summarize how, in recent years, various computational solutions have contributed to a better understanding of TLRs, regarding both their function and mechanism of action. We update the recent information about small-molecule modulators and expanded the topic toward next-generation vaccine design, as well as studies of the dynamic nature of TLRs. Also, we underline problems that remain unsolved.
