Lipase is the third most demanding enzyme group and is a major component of fat metabolism. It is omnipresent in nature. Microbial lipases are highly specific and economically efficient enzymes. They have applications in a variety of industries. In this study, the computational result elucidates structural and functional attributes of eight selected lipases from Uniprot. Primary, secondary, and tertiary structures obtained from Swiss and Profunc are analyzed. Further, they are validated with the help of Saves Server. COACH and COFACTOR is used for functional analysis. Lastly, phylogenetic tree is developed using MegaX software. Our in-silico analysis predicted lipases as alpha-beta-gamma protein with different ligand binding sites at different amino acid residue positions. Furthermore, they exhibited almost similar functional traits like catalytic activity and hydrolase activity. Overall, this study provides an insight into structural-functional characteristics of different lipases of microbial origin.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
