Overlapping and tertiary structure of the different types of thionins. a Bold letter C in the sequence represents cysteine which involves in the formation of disulfide bridge, bold Lys (K1) and Tyr (Y13) represent conserved position which crucially involves in toxicity against fungal and animal cells, dashed bridge connection denote an extra disulfide bridge of 8C group (type I and type II) and --dash line placed in between sequence to denotes variability in length in the process of alignment of sequence and arrow and helical structure represents the presence of α-helix and β-sheet of different segments of sequence. b The tertiary structure of each represented type thionins
