Abstract
The had -0.210 GRAVY and 36.39 instability indices which make it theoretically stable. The designed construct was predicted to be soluble and non-allergenic. The approximate half-life of the proposed structure was computed 30 hours in mammalian reticulocytes and more than 10 hours in Escherichia coli . In its tertiary structure, 93% of the residues were in the core region and had a score of 52.73 for 3D verification and -5.55 for Z-score. Protein-protein docking of HBHA and TLR4/MD2 receptor was successful with the lowest energy of -1310.6 kcal/mol. Conclusion: The bioinformatics evaluations indicate that the designed structure is stable and immunogenic for development of a protein-based subunit vaccine against COVID-19.
