In search of visual opsin of Lissachatina fulica : in silico prediction
Abstract
Abstract Here we present a complex study of possible visual opsin of L. fulica . 8 candidate sequences were chosen for visual opsin protein and only one (Afu005002) was confirmed as a possible candidate after domain search, structural (structures were stimulated with AlphaFold2) and BLAST analysis. In order to evaluate spectroscopic properties of the Afu005002 protein, we have computed excitation energy and intensity of the main absorption band using QM/MM methodology at the ADC(2) level of theory. The theoretically predicted position of the main absorption maxima shows a good agreement with available experimental data.
How strong is the evidence?
Evidence Hub reads this as a preprint, done in computer models (in silico), not in people. Its evidence level is 5 of 5 (Very low · case / narrative / animal / in vitro / in silico). Case reports, narrative reviews, and animal, cell or computer-model studies give the weakest evidence for human health.
