    In-silico prediction of structural and functional aspects of a hypothetical protein of Arabidopsis thaliana (L) Heynh.
    (2008) Bhattacharjee, A; Choudhury, H; Maheswari, U; Joshi, S. R.
    Arabidopsis thaliana is a model plant for scientific research due to the presence of many desirable characteristics like rapid development, small plant size, mutable seeds, mutations quickly becoming homozygous etc. An in-silico technique was initiated to characterize a hypothetical protein to deduce its structural and functional information. The hypothetical protein analysed in the present study showed domain characteristics of ankyrin repeats family with beta-hairpin-alpha-hairpin repeat {multiple repeats of beta (2) - alpha (2) motif}. The protein showed five domains of 32 amino acid repeat units. The modelled protein revealed the presence of maximum number of random coils as its secondary structural elements. The existence of ankyrin repeats indicates its role in protein-protein interaction essential for various metabolic processes in organism.
