Fig. 7

Schematic structures of cutinase-generated cutin dimers (a–d), trimers (e–h) and tetramers (i–k). The digits within the black-filled rectangle represent the nature of the acyl moiety in the standard short-hand fatty acid nomenclature. The red-shaded “PAC-MAN” symbol represents the carboxyl-group of each acyl-chain. The digits in the blue-shaded triangles represent the positions of hydroxyl groups on the acyl-chain, and the digits in the green-shaded circles represent the positions of epoxy-groups on the acyl-chain. The blue-shaded triangle juxtaposed in the red PAC-MAN schematic represents the ester bond between adjoining acyl-monomers
