Table 3 Characteristics of sequences implicated in lipid binding. The isolelectric point for the isolated peptide was calculated and the percent alpha-helix determined from the relevant crystal structure. The symbols for electrically positive residues are underlined (); those corresponding to electrically negative residues are underlined (). The characters under the amino acid sequence refer to the secondary structure; H = helix, T = hydrogen-bonded turn, S = bend, E = extended beta-strand, and B = residue in isolated beta-bridge. Residues 401–406 (KKKKSK) are not present in talin crystal structures. Helical residues are underlined ().
