FIG. 7.
Helical wheel. Residues 11 to 28 of the mature LL-37 peptide and the corresponding residues of rabbit CAP-18 (Fig. 1) are shown. Note the sequestration of polar and apolar residues (all of the polar residues of LL-37 are clustered between 11:30 and 5:30 when the figure is visualized as a clock face). CAP-18 shows a very similar pattern.
