Modeling and docking studies of Keratinase from Bacillus Tequilensis MBR 25 against CYP51A of Aspergillus lavus for inhibition: Insilico studies
Aspergillus flavus, which are common types of 'weedy' molds that are typically distributed in nature, are formed by aflatoxins. The existence of these molds does not always show that the aflatoxin levels are dangerous but shows an important danger. The molds may colonize and contaminate food before harvest or during storage, especially after prolonged exposure to high moisture or too stressful conditions such as dryness. Using 5EQB as a template for Modeler 9v7, a three-dimensional model of CYP51A from Aspergillus flavus was developed. After energy reduction, the structures of CYP51A 3D were compared with the prototype, and the final models were obtained using molecular mechanics and molecular dynamic methods. For flexible docking tests, a highly expressed CYP51A with keratinase from Bacillus tequilensis MBR 25 was used. The results showed that the LEU126, ALA153 and ILE165 binding steps of CYP51A are important determinant residues because hydrogen is closely linked to these compounds. These interactions with hydrogen bonding play an important role in stabilizing the complex.
