Helical wheel diagram of AHPs. A KL18 is composed of repeats of hydrophobic and cationic residues to create perfect amphipathic α-helical structure. B KL-PxxP contains a PxxP motif connecting N- and C-terminal helices. Red circles refer to hydrophobic residues, blue circles to cationic amino acids. The helical wheel diagram was prepared using the pepwheel program (online at: https://www.bioinformatics.nl/cgi-bin/emboss/pepwheel)
