Phylogenetic, Sequence Analysis and Structural Studies of Maturase K Proteins from Fern Species

Ethnobotanical and remedial values of fern have been widespread by way of different researchers from time to time through a number of methods but adequate responsiveness has not been given in the direction of their medicinally valued applications, so it is essential to study isolated proteins from diverse ferns in feature at molecular level as well as end to end with their taxonomical connection. The objective of the current study is to applied bioinformatics systems to realize evolutionary importance as a result of building phylogenetic tree in direction to address association among ferns Maturase K (matK) protein sequences of a number of ferns were retrieved from NCBI and utilized for multiple sequence alignment and phylogenetic investigation. Bioinformatics techniques were performed to recognize evolutionary importance through building phylogenetic tree.3- dimensional structures matK proteins from ferns species were built by homology modeling. The current study specifies matK protein to be a suitable marker to identify fern species. This investigation also suggests that matK protein is a respectable candidate for plant systematics as well as DNA barcoding studies. The 3-D model of Maturase K protein also shows good quality and might be beneficial to realize the structural and functional connection among the different fern species to infer evolutionary significance. So, the predicted model of matK from fern may perhaps be helpful in the exploration of plant systematics as well as the structural analysis of Maturase K proteins of diverse fern species, which further can be used to detect structural alterations among Maturase K proteins during evolution.
