Fig 4. Amino acid sequence alignment of peptides with enteroviruses.

The selected peptides (PEP12, PEP19, PEP21, PEP23, PEP25 and PEP27) were aligned to the corresponding sequences from 12 enterovirus prototype and consensus contemporary sequences (EV-A71, CV-A2 to CV-A8, CV-A10, CV-A12, CV-A14 and CV-A16). Conserved amino acids are indicated by a dash (–) and alignment gaps are shown in grey. The consensus sequences represent the current circulating strains while BrCr, Fleetwood, Olson, High Point, Swartz, Gdula, Parker, Donovan, Kowalik, Texas, G14 and G10 are the prototype virus strains.
