IN SILICO MODELING AND VALIDATION OF BACTERIAL RIBONUCLEASE (BINASE), AN ANTI-CANCER AGENT Authors: Praveen Reddy. P , UMAMAHESHWARA RAO. V*
ABSTRACT
The ribonucleases perform various cellular functions. In addition, they exhibit certain therapeutic
properties. Especially, the bacterial ribonuclease (binase) is a potent anti-cancer and antiviral
agent. In the present paper, the sequence of binase enzyme was collected from UniProt webserver,
based on which binase enzyme model (three-dimensional) was built in Phyre2 server. The
model quality of binase enzyme was evaluated and validated using Verify3D and PROCHECK
servers. Further the activity of binase can be enhanced using sophisticated computational tools.
Such binase enzyme with improved activity can be produced in the laboratory by making
corresponding changes in binase gene through site-directed mutagenesis in microbes.
