Secondary structure prediction of Dbx1 and Dbx2 proteins. Primary sequence and secondary structure prediction for mouse Dbx1 (a) and Dbx2 (b). The RD1 of Dbx1 and Dbx2 (blue) is predicted to be in a helix conformation with a relatively low solvent accessibility. The RD2 of Dbx1 (red) also has a relatively low solvent accessibility but no specific secondary structure predicted. The Cter domain of Dbx1 (green) has a high solvent accessibility due to the enrichment in acidic residues, and no specific secondary structure predicted. The three helices of the homeodomain are correctly predicted for both Dbx1 and Dbx2. c Boxplot indicating the relative solvent accessibility (RSA) of the various domains. The dashed line in red indicates the average RSA for each protein
