Figure 3

Amino acid alignment of the N-terminal regions of PkNBPXa, PkNBPXb, PvRBP2 and PfNBP2a. Alignment of the first 300–400 amino acids of the N-terminus of PkNBPXa, PkNBPXb, PvRBP2, and PfNBP2a demonstrates conservation of three cysteine residues among species. These three residues in PkNBPXb correspond to Cys254, Cys298, and Cys332. Two other cysteine residues are also present in the N-terminus of PkNBPXb-II and are Cys193 and Cys326.
