FIG. 1.

Alignment of phage-displayed peptides. The deduced amino acid sequences from hi3/17, hi3/2, hi3/12, hi3/11, and hi3/13 were aligned by using CLUSTAL W (33). Dashes indicate gaps used to maximize the alignment. The physical-chemical mode of GeneDoc was used to assign each column of the alignment to one of the 12 predefined groups of physiochemical properties. Red writing on a blue background indicates positively charged amino acids; black writing on a green background indicates polar amino acids; green writing on a yellow background indicates small amino acid residues; white writing on a black background indicates hydrophobic amino acids; and red writing on a gray background indicates aliphatic amino acids.
