Figure 3. Hydrophobic and electrostatic potentials at the surface of the defensins. First panel: Def-AAA, Def-ABB, and Def-AcAA; second panel: Def-BAT, Def-BBB, and Def-DAA. Two orientations are shown. For each orientation, from the left to the right: the global fold, the hydrophobic potentials and the electrostatic potentials are represented. For the electrostatic potential, cationic poles are coloured in red-brown, anionic regions are in blue, and neutral regions are in green. For the hydrophobic potential, hydrophobic regions are in brown, hydrophilic one in blue and intermediate regions are in green.
