Molecular Characteristics of Cytochrome B for Mackerel Barcoding
<p>Cytochrome b (cyt b) is one of the genes in mitochondrial DNA that is often used as a molecular<br />marker to identify species through DNA Barcoding. The aim of the present study was to investigate the<br />bioinformatic of cyt b that isolated from mackerel fish. PCR amplification showed the length of DNA cyt<br />b from king mackerel was 803 bp within purine 312 bp and pyrimidine 491 bp while Korean mackerel 791<br />bp within purine 316 bp and pyrimidine 475 bp. Phylogenetic analysis showed all sample join in mackerel<br />groups (Scomberomorus commerson and Scomberomorus koreanus). The Isoelectric point value of cyt b from<br />king mackerel is 6.38 and molecular weight is 29826.23; Korean mackerel are 8.67 and molecular weight is<br />29372.77. Hydrophaty plot showed cyt b of mackerel more hydrophobic. Based on 3D modelling both of<br />them have eight different sections showing by different colors.<br />Keywords: characteristic molecular, cytochrome b, Mackerel<br /><br /></p>
