FIGURE 1. Amino acid sequence alignment of mammalian -defensins from human,
mouse, rhesus macaque, rabbit, guinea pig, and rat
(us.expasy.org/sprot). The invariant residues, including six Cys
and Gly17 (HNP1 numbering), are shaded in black. The boxed
residues, Arg5 and Glu13, form a salt bridge in the structure
and are highly conserved.
