Structural and Functional Consequences Induced by Post-Translational Modifications in α-Defensins

Figure 2

Density electrostatic surface map of HNP-1 peptide. Positive charges conferred by arginine residues are shown in blue; the negative charge conferred by glutamic acid residue is in red. The secondary structure of the peptide was taken from PDB database (3GNY) and the relative density electrostatic surface map was obtained using PyMOLWin software.
