Bioinformatics Analysis and Characteristics of UL19 Protein of Duck Plague Virus

Article Preview

Abstract:

he DPV UL19 protein encoded by UL19 gene was identified in our laboratory. In this article, we report some information about the structures and functions of this protein by using bioinformatics software or website online. The prediction indicated that DPV UL19 protein had no signal peptide and no transmembrane region, and could be a protein outside the membrane. It might contain many potential epitopes and functional sites. According to the prediction of 3D structure, a high reliability model was found in this protein. These works would be useful for further structural and functional studies of the DPV UL19 protein but experiments are needed to check the predicted results.
