Comments |
In the Damberger and Harrison papers the sequences listed are one residue off from the referenced sequence. Regions 2 and 3 are shown as residues 217-222 and 261-277 respectively, but the sequences correspond to residues 216-221 and 260-276 in the referenced sequence. Region 4 is shown as residues 269-272 in the Harrison paper, but correspond to residues 268-271 in the referenced sequence.
