Abstract

Phospholipase A2 is enzyme that hydrolyses phospholipids at sn-2 position. This class of enzymes are significant due to their ability to cleave membrane phospholipids and hence causing inflammation. The PLA2 enzymes present in Rattus norvegicus is extensively studied to predict its properties. The Protparam analysis was performed to predict the physical properties like number of amino acids, Theoretical pH, stability index value, aliphatic index value and GRAVY value. The SOPMA analysis predicted its structural properties like the number of alpha-helices and beta-strands. Hence the focus of the present study was to perform a preliminary in silico analysis to identify the PLA2 protein sequences in the genome of Rattus norvegicus.
