The Structure and Function of Serum Opacity Factor: A Unique Streptococcal Virulence Determinant That Targets High-Density Lipoproteins

Figure 4

The predicted secondary structure of SOF is highly conserved among SOF from different serotypes. Only three serotypes were selected for comparison in order to have a manageable figure. The top figure indicates the degree of hydrophobicity/hydrophilicity and the bottom figure indicates location of helixes, turns, and B-sheets. The numbering of the amino acids is indicated.
