Description
This research will examine the potential function(s) of the protein 2P9B by utilizing tools such as the protein database, InterPro, FoldSeek, and CLEAN Background to obtain its’ known characteristics and properties to provide context into the protein’s potential function. By conducting this research, we may gain insights into how we may utilize this protein for the betterment of the human race, such as developing pharmaceuticals. In addition, this research could provide researchers with a better understanding of the protein itself, while also gaining potential clarity on the organisms that possess this protein (and why).
