Abstract excerpt
Single nucleotide polymorphism (SNPs) is an important genetic biomarker to assess protein function and its possible contribution to genetic diseases, such as the β- defensin 1 gene (DEFB1)-associated non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs). Defensins are antimicrobial and immunomodulatory peptides, acting as part of innate immunity, and killing bacteria by interacting phosphatidylinositol 4,5-bisphosphate (PIP2). Therefore,...
