TI  - Comparative insights using the molecular homology model of BDNF (Brain derived 
      neurotrophic factor) of Varanus komodoensis and the known NGF (Nerve growth 
      factor) structure of Naja atra.

AB  - BDNF (Brain derived neurotrophic factor) is a secretion protein and a member of 
      the neurotrophin family of growth factors. Structural and functional 
      characterization of BDNF Varanus komodoensis is of interest while its structure 
      remains unknown. Thus, a homology molecular model of BDNF was constructed for 
      gleaning possible structural insights. The model was compared with the structure 
      of the homologous NGF (Nerve growth factor, another member of neuro-trophin 
      family) from Naja atra. Comparative structural analysis of the models showed 
      structural similarities with their predicted cavities for the interpretation of 
      potential functional analogy.
