Molecular docking of HSPs (heat shock proteins) from rice seed

The expression of heat shock proteins (HSPs) is an essential part of the heat shock response in plants where HSPs act as chaperones that help in protein folding and unfolding mechanism.

This project focuses on determining the docking mechanism and conformation stability of HSPs from rice seed at several simulated temperatures. HSP20 was selected from previously isolated rice seed proteins and the sequence was used for homology modelling.

The results of 50ns simulation at 310K and 373K for selected model were plotted in the graphs of RMSD, RMSF, hydrogen bonding number and radius of gyration. The RMSD result showed that HSP20 model was more stable at simulated temperature of 37oC as compared to 100oC.

For the results of hydrogen bonding number and radius of gyration, the mean numbers were around 102 and 1.6 respectively for 37oC and 100oC simulations.

Molecular docking of this HSP20 model with the selected proteins: TPR and SGT1 was carried out successfully with ZDock server.
