ABSTRACT

 

Pandey J, Sharma S., In-Silico human, cow and sheep milk alpha casein S1, fibronectin, lactoferrin and lysozyme for prediction of hypersensitivity and malnutrition in infants, Onl J Bioinform.,  18(1):1-4, 2017. In developing Asia, ~2.6% of infants cannot digest cow milk inducing CMA (cow milk allergy). In silico human, cow and sheep alpha casein S1 protein, fibronectin, lactoferrin and lysozyme present in milk were predicted for milk hypersensity and malnutrition in infants. To identify protein structure, multiple sequence alignment by CLUSTALW2 was performed to determine constraints imposed by structure and function on evolution of whole protein milk families. Protein constituents were visualized with PROTPARAM and prediction of secondary structure with GOR. We find that human and sheep proteins share greater similarity by sequence identity and amino acid content compared with cow milk.  Cow milk had a higher percentage of essential amino acid compared with other milk which may explains why different milks are hyper-allergic and less nutritious compared with each other.

 

KEYWORDS: Milk Protein, Casein Alpha S1, Lactoferrin, Fibronectin and Lysozyme, Secondary Structure Prediction, Comparative Genomics.
