In silico structural and functional modelling of Antifreeze protein (AFP) sequences of Ocean pout (Zoarces americanus, Bloch & Schneider 1801).

ABSTRACT: Antifreeze proteins (AFPs) are known to polypeptide components formed by certain plants, animals, fungi and bacteria which support to survive in sub-zero temperature. Current study highlighted the seven different antifreeze proteins of fish Ocean pout (Zoarces americanus), in which protein (amino acids sequence) were collected from National Centre for Biotechnology Information and finely characterized using several in silico tools. Such biocomputational techniques applied to figure out the physicochemical, functional and conformational characteristics of targeted AFPs. Multiple physicochemical properties such as Isoelectric Point, Extinction Coefficient and Instability Index, Aliphatic Index, Grand Average Hydropathy were calculated and analysed by ExPASy-ProtParam prediction web server.
