Bioinformatic analysis of the infectious bursal disease virus

Hari Mohan Saxena

The analysis of amino acid sequences of the Infectious Bursal Disease virus (IBDV) proteins was done to identify their features. Antigenicity plot of the 1011 residue long IBDVsequence revealed 38 potential antigenic sites in viral protein VP2 of the virus. Prosite analysis of the amino acid sequence of IBDV revealed 11 Casein Kinase II Phosphorylation sites, 17 Protein Kinase C Phosphorylation sites, 4 N-Glycosylation sites, 18 NMyristoylation sites and 2 Tyrosine Kinase Phosphorylation sites, respectively.
