Fig. 5: Multiple sequence superposition and electrostatic potential of Culex D7 proteins.

a Superposition of CxD7L1, Ae. aegypti AeD7 (PDB ID: 3DZT) and An. stephensi AnStD7L1 (PDB ID: 3NHT) shows a similar overall helix structure. Rainbow coloring pattern shows the N-terminal in blue and the C-terminal in red. b Electrostatic potential of 3DZT, 3NHT, and CxD7L1 generated by Coulombic Surface Coloring (Chimera software) with blue being positive and red being negative. ADP is represented as a stick model.
