Secondary structure prediction of the prosomatostatin sequence (−20;+5) in either anglerfish or mammals. Helicity per residue calculated for the (−20;+5) sequence derived from a the human, anglerfish I, and anglerfish II prosomatostatin, b the human prosomatostatin in which the S-28(1–5) sequence was replaced by either the AASGG (anglerfish I) or the SVDST (anglerfish II) sequences, c the anglerfish I prosomatostatin in which the S-28(1–5) sequence was mutated by either the SANSN (human) or the SVDST (anglerfish II) sequences, and d the anglerfish II prosomatostatin in which the sequence S-28(1–5) was replaced by either the AASGG (anglerfish I) or the SANSN (human) sequences. The values calculated for the parameter Rh are indicated in the inset [89]
