Fig. 1: Thrombin-inhibiting peptides from A. variegatum.
From: Efficacy and safety of next-generation tick transcriptome-derived direct thrombin inhibitors
Precursor transcripts are indicated by GenBank accession numbers. Each row within the transcripts represent repeats that may be processed into mature thrombin-inhibiting peptides. Identical and highly similar amino acid residues were highlighted in green and yellow, respectively. Potential cleavage sites are highlighted in grey. The sequence representative of repeat 1 of DAA34688.1 (red dotted box) was synthesised for investigation.
