Sequence analysis of deduced α-gliadin proteins in wild emmer. Deduced protein sequences from nine full-length α-gliadin genes from wild emmer were aligned using ClusterW with manual editing to improve the alignment quality. The first four and last seven amino acid sequences of the mature α-gliadins are highlighted with yellow with amino acid substitutions indicated by red. The sequences of three CD epitopes are highlighted with magenta. Two poly Q regions are indicated
