Structural superimposition. a Structural superimposition of AsAPN-1 (purple) and AgAPN-1 (green) as a reference molecule revealed that the structural topology of these proteins is very similar together. b In addition, superimposition revealed that there are five residues (G832TGVE836) that there is no counterpart for them in AgAPN-1 and those are seen as a protrusion in AsAPN-1(red region). These residues act as a linker between the two adjacent alpha helixes
