In Silico Comparative Modeling of Maturase K Protein in Cymbopogon martinii Plant

Abstract

In recent years, due to environmental, health and safety concerns, there has been an increasing interest in replacing synthetic compounds with natural products. Essential oils of aromatic plants are of great interest among natural products because of their relatively low or negligible toxicity and high volatility and biodegradability.Cymbopogon martinii (gramineae) is a medicinal and aromatic plant of great importance and rich in essential oils. Essential palmarosa-derived oils have shown exceptionally good antimicrobial, antifungal, antiviral, anthelmintic, antioxidant, and cytotoxic characteristics. Maturase K is one of the antimicrobial proteins found in Cymbopogon martinii. The main objective of this article is to cover the various Maturase K protein insilico analyzes.

Keywords: Cymbopogon martinii, palmarosa, essential oil, Maturase K protein, medicinal and aromatic plants, chemical compound
