Sequence Characteristics of Dammarenediol Synthase in Medicinal Plant Panax notoginseng

Abstract

Panax notoginseng is a commonly used herb in Traditional Chinese Medicine. It is a traditional herb plant of for manufacturing compound Danshen dripping pills, Yunnanbaiyao, et al. Dammarenediol synthase is one of its important ingredients. Some sequence characteristics, such as theoretical isoelectric point, hydrophobicity, molecular properties, transmembrane region, secondary structure and tertiary structure, of dammarenediol synthase in Panax notoginseng are studied in this paper. All results of the study would be benefit for further study on the medicinal properties of Panax notoginseng.
