DOCKING STUDIES AND PROTEIN – PROTEIN INTERACTION ANALYSIS TO UNVEIL THE PROTEINS RESPONSIBLE FOR HYPERTHYROIDISM IN HUMAN Authors: Jabalia N and Bansal H*
ABSTRACT
Hyperthyroidism is a common endocrine disorder, the complications of untreated disease include
hypertension, osteoporosis and cardiovascular system. There are many anti - thyroid drugs but
the main shortcoming is that the hyperthyroidism often comes back after they are discontinued.
That’s why it still needs attention for more effective treatments. The aim of the present work was
to present an outline of the structural and functional aspects of protein responsible for
hyperthyroidism from Homo sapiens. First, the genes responsible for hyperthyroidism were
identified and investigated through different computational tools and servers to exploit its
functional analysis, phylogenetic assessment, 3D structural modelling and quality analysis of the
generated 3D model. The 3D structure of all the selected proteins those structures were not
present in PDB database, were generated. Further, protein-protein interaction analysis was also
performed to observe the functional involvement of these proteins in metabolic pathway. The
docking study was performed against all proteins which were having maximum involvement in
metabolic pathways. Thus, the present work may facilitate in-vitro and in-vivo studies to design
novel and potential inhibitors against hyperthyroidism.
