Figure 5

Diagram of membrane protein containing 3 transmembrane helices, an external N terminus and an internal carboxy terminus. Approximate position of 5 variable diagnostic amino acid sites (see Table 2) as determined by sequence comparison to severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (32). Amino acid residue, polarity, and hydrophobicity or hydropholicity is stated.
