Figure 1.

The distribution of acidic amino acids in known functional AIMs. (A) The frequency of acidic amino acids present in the 34 functional AIMs (excluding the 2 atypical AIMs). (B) The frequency of acidic amino acids present in each of the 5 analyzed positions in the 34 functional AIMs. The horizontal line indicates the expected frequency of acidic amino acid in a random distribution (2/20 amino acids).
