In Silico Investigation of Rv Hypothetical Proteins of Virulent Strain Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv
Journal Title: Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical and Biological Research - Year 2013, Vol 1, Issue 4
Abstract
Tuberculosis is an universal health problem worldwide. In Iraq the problem is aggravated by drug resistance. In Silico studies usually pave the way for more investigations of the real problem .On the other hand Mycobacterium tuberculosis does not lend itself for deep wet lab studies, therefore, In Silico studies must precede many aspects of experimental work. In Silico studies were carried out using most virulent strain and a model of studies M. tuberculosis H37Rv to investigate some of the hypothetical proteins which compromised about 39% of the annotated proteins. The studied Rv hypothetical proteins were distributed among cellular compartment fractions with high existence in the cytoplasmic fraction (about 67%). Major function prediction of these proteins were found in cellular process section using different approaches of predictions .However , some of these proteins were still await to be included in the important databases such as COG and GO which concerned mainly with function annotation.
