Figure 8

LTA 4 H and Ap-B hydrophobic patches. Hydrophobic patches were determined using the Quilt approach. A-B: Two different views of LTA4H structure (1HS6). The five larger hydrophobic patches of LTA4H (298.201 Å2, 11 residues, in red; 289.193 Å2, 12 residues, in green; 282.972 Å2, 10 residues, in magenta; 280.027 Å2, 11 residues, in cyan; 262.926 Å2, 7 residues, in yellow) are indicated. C, D, E, F: Four different views of Ap-B model (rAp-B). The five larger hydrophobic patches of Ap-B (1000.070 Å2, 30 residues, in red; 795.016 Å2, 31 residues, in green; 645.299 Å2, 21 residues, in magenta; 522.096 Å2, 15 residues, in cyan; 519.139 Å2, 11 residues, in yellow) are also represented. The figure was created using the molecular graphics software PyMol (PyMol v0.99; [61]).
