Figure 3

Deduced X . dendrorhous CYP61. Secondary structural elements were predicted with the CYP450 Engineering database, and the potential transmembrane region was predicted with TMpred. Structural elements are in capital letters with the name of the corresponding feature underneath them. Underlined and in italics: possible transmembrane helix. In bold and italics: alpha helices. Underlined: Beta-sheets. In white letters and highlighted in black: meander loop and Cys pocket. The asterisks (*) indicate the three totally conserved amino acids among cytochromes P450, and the exclamation points (!) show the amino acid variation found in the deduced CYP61 from different X. dendrorhous strains.
