FIG. 1.
Amino acid sequences and predicted secondary structure of novel and template hybrid antimicrobial peptides. The predicted secondary structures for novel hybrids range from mainly helical (Vida1), through a mixture of sheets and helices (Vida2), to mainly sheets and coils (Vida3). The template hybrids are predicted to have either a completely helical structure (P2WN) or a random structure (ILF). •, newly designed peptides; ⧫, template hybrid peptides (35, 42).
