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.en-UShypothetical proteinPANDAComputational Analysis MethodsResearch Subject Categories::NATURAL SCIENCESResearch Subject Categories::NATURAL SCIENCES::BiologyDepartment of BiologyArticlehttps://doi.org/10.48497/1vdx-bp29
