ABSTRACT

SR, Kundu CN. In Silico model of Homo sapiens
Nectin-4: a novel anticancer drug target, Onl J Bioinform., 12(2):395-412, 2011. Nectin 4 is a serum biomarker for
cancer as it is highly expressed in cancer cell lines and tumor tissues but not
in normal cells. In this study the Nectin-4 protein molecule of Homo sapiens was characterized in silico and its protein structure was
predicted using commercial and available online tools. A 3D structure of
Nectin-4 was created by homology modeling. Stereochemistry revealed that 99.5%
of the residues of the model were in the most allowed regions. Nectin-4 bound
to adaptor protein Afadin.
Keywords: Active site prediction,
Adhesion molecule, Nectin-4.
