FIGURE 1.

Multiple sequence alignment of selected T4 proteins. The multiple sequence alignments of Cef, ComCα, Mrh, and Pin of T4 showing the conserved regions of each viral protein with that of other phages. The purification and characterization of these proteins could provide a solid basis for future studies on these homologs of other phages. The red and yellow color is the visualization of “*,” which represents the fully conserved amino acid amongst all the sequences, and “:,” which represents amino acids with high similarities amongst the sequences (>0.5 in the Gonnet Pam 250 Matrix) used in the ClusterW alignment format.
