In silico analysis of fluoride transport proteins from prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms

Abstract

In silico analysis of Fluoride transporter proteins obtained from database are presented in this study. The composition of alanine and glycine was high while low concentrations of aspartic acid, cysteine and glutamine were seen when compared to other aminoacids. Molecular weight of fungal transporters was the highest while the bacterial showed relatively less molecular weights. The instability index of all the proteins was less than 40 showing that all of them are stable except that of Neurospora and Bifidobacterium. Aliphatic index was found to be within a range of 65 to 100.
