Fig. 2.   Amino acid sequence of tachylectin-2 shown as five aligned tandem repeats (Okino et al., 1995). The colors of secondary structure elements correspond to the ribbon plot shown in Figure 1. All residues belonging to one binding site are shown in the same color. The sequence XXXXDNWL is part of the 34 loop of each -sheet, starting with the underlined residues, whereas IGXGGW belongs to the connecting segment between two adjacent -sheets. The -sheets are named I-V, and individual -strands in each -sheet 1-4.
