a
The values were obtained from pairwise comparisions by using the Gap program. The Gap program settings, were as follows: gap weight, 12; and length weight, 12.
b
The similarity between WbbB (from residue 1 to residue 454) and WbbA (from residue 1 to residue 460) is limited to this region of the two proteins.
