Abstract :

Autism is a disorder of neural development characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and repetitive behavior. Autism affects information processing in the brain by altering how nerve cells and their synapses connect and organize. Mutations in Shank3 gene are a cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). SH3 and multiple ankyrin repeat domains 3 (Shank3), also known as proline-rich synapse-associated protein 2 (ProSAP2), is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHANK3 gene on chromosome 22q13.3.Primary sequence analysis was done by using ExPASy'sProtparam. Secondary structure was predicted using GOR4, SOPMA and CFSSP. Homology modeling of Shank3 (Homo sapiens) protein was done by using different tools and servers i.e. ESyPred3D, SWISS-MODEL server, EasyModeller and Phyre2 and the four different structure were validated using Procheck. The project work aims to build a potential model of shank3 protein which can be used for drug designing.
