Abstract

Heat shock proteins (Hsp) are cellular proteins that are present under normal conditions but their expression level increases when cell is under stress or shock. In the present study, theoretical structure of HSP protein was built using ESYPred3D server by submitting the target sequence. Based on the template structure, it was clearly observed that the theoretical structure generated was structurally similar to the template structure which was highly sufficient for the development of specific ligand for HSP Protein 90 (p value 0.870). The present study would aid in studying protein-protein interactions in future and could be used further for drug target studies. ?
