Volume : III, Issue : XI, December - 2013 Structure Prediction Of Neuronal Per- Arnt- Sim (b-hlh-pas) Protein- Npas4 Using Insightii And Modeller 9.11, A Homology Based Approach And A Comparative Study Of The Results. Akhil Jobby , Satish Chandra Verma And Gess Thoms Xavier DOI : 10.9780/22307850, Published By : Laxmi Book Publication Abstract : The neuronal pas domain protein 4 (npas4) is a neuronal activity dependant gene that has recently been identified as a transcription factor which regulates the transcription of genes that control inhibitory synapse development and synaptic plasticity. The role of npas4 is in learning and memory, however 3D structure of npas4 is unknown . The prediction of protein structure from purely sequenced data and improvement of homology modelling tools has benefited in modelling novel proteins. Hence, this approach was used to model the structure of unmodelled protein npas4. Here the protein structure was built manually, following each steps from alignment to loop modelling to refinement using insight II. Another homology modeling tool, Modeller 9.11 was used to compare the results from Insight II. It was concluded that model from Modeller 9.11 produced a better model when compared to Insight II due to the manual approach in Insight II when compared to automatic modelling in Modeller 9.11.
