Plant catalase in silico characterization and phylogenetic analysis with structural modeling.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Catalase (EC 1.11.1.6) is a heme-containing tetrameric enzyme that plays a critical role in signaling and hydrogen peroxide metabolism. It was the first enzyme to be crystallized and isolated. Catalase is a well-known industrial enzyme used in diagnostic and analytical methods in the form of biomarkers and biosensors, as well as in the textile, paper, food, and pharmaceutical industries. In silico analysis of CAT genes and proteins has gained increased interest, emphasizing the development of biomarkers and drug designs. The present work aims to understand the catalase evolutionary relationship of plant species and analyze its physicochemical characteristics, homology, phylogenetic tree construction, secondary structure prediction, and 3D modeling of protein sequences an
