Fig 2 Conserved surface residues in the Bet v 1 family. A, Ribbon diagram of Bet v 1a. B, Conserved residues between Bet v 1a and Mal d 1 showing side chains (red), main chains (pink), and nonconserved side chains/main chains (cyan). C, Conserved residues, as in B, for Bet v 1a–Gly m 4 conservation, with P-loop marked. D, Conserved residues, as in B, for Bet v 1a–Api g 1.0101 conservation, with most similar surface region marked.
