FIG. 3.
HepG2 cell binding activity of five-residue-long overlapping peptides covering the whole CS protein. It can be seen that peptides 4593, 4383, 4388, 4389, and 4390 present high HepG2 cell binding activity. Peptide 4383 is localized in region I; peptide 4593 is localized in the repeat region containing the NANP motif. Peptides 4388, 4389, and 4390 are localized in the protein's following repeat region.
