AAV2 capsid protein sequences searched when peptide mapping data
were processed by LC-MS using pepsin digestion. The green arrow signifies
the start of VP1, the orange arrow the start of VP2, the blue arrow
the start of VP3, and the purple arrow the start of the VP3 variant
A211-VP3. The red numbers convey the position of the amino acid residue
above them in the VP1 protein sequence. Here, the amino acid residue
considered to be the start of VP1 is the alanine residue with the
red 1 under it as the N-terminal methionine (gray M) is cleaved off
in the cell. Thus, here, the VP1 sequence would be considered A1-L734.
