Abstract
Legions of hypothetical proteins are currently awaiting accurate
characterization of their functions, but due to the influx of sequence
data, the rate of analysis is not able to keep up with the rate of
discovery of hypothetical proteins. However, various computational
methods such as, Pfam, BLAST, and Swiss Homology Modeling
are helping researchers predict the function of hypothetical proteins.
Instead of using only experimental methods which are time
consuming and difficult, computational methods are helping pave the
way for faster hypothetical protein analysis. In this study, a series of
computational tests were performed in order to predict the function
of hypothetical protein PANDA 003700 partial (EFB18608.1). The
predicted function of the hypothetical protein was found to be that of
an mRNA turnover protein 4 which is involved in ribosomal assembly.
