Molecular Diversity of the Antimicrobial Domain of Beta-Defensin 3 and Homologous Peptides
Figure 4
Mammalian specific antimicrobial domain. Proteins were aligned and the twenty-three residue antimicrobial-domain was localized (boxed sequence, top alignment) and retrieved (bottom alignment) from each mature peptide. These data reveals the divergence of amino acid residue in 3 and homologous peptides.
