The far-UV CD spectra and helical wheels projections of CAMPs. a The far-UV CD spectra of CAMPs in H2O recorded at room temperature. Spectra were baseline corrected and expressed as molar ellipticity θ (deg·cm2·mol− 1). Gray solid line: CAMP-t1; dash line: CAMP-t2; dotted line: CAMP-A; dark solid line: CAMP-B. b Helical wheels projections of CAMPs. Relevant features of amino acid residues were coded by various shapes and colors. Hydrophilic residues: circles, hydrophobic residues: diamonds, positively charged residues: pentagons. Hydrophobic residues: green to yellow, as the hydrophobicity decreased to zero, color changed gradually from dark green to yellow. Hydrophilic residues: red, the red tone decreased proportionally to the decrease in hydrophilicity. Charged residues: light blue
