Figure 4

Helical wheel projections of LL-37 and its orthologs. These images were generated at the server http://rzlab.ucr.edu/scripts/wheel/wheel.cgi, in which hydrophilic, hydrophobic, negatively charged, and positively charged residues are presented as circles, diamonds, triangles, and pentagons, respectively. The most hydrophobic residue is shown in green, and the amount of green is decreasing proportionally to the hydrophobicity. The most hydrophilic (uncharged) residues are coded red, and the amount of red is decreasing proportionally to the hydrophilicity. Charged residues are shown in light blue. These images illustrate a typical amphipathic architecture in residues 12–29 of the representative CAP18-MPs.
