Abstract

This paper has attempted into the structure prediction and functional analysis of two such accessory proteins, 9b and ORF14, in the absence of experimental structures. Sequence analysis, structure prediction, functional characterization, and evolutionary analysis based on the UniProtKB reviewed the amino acid sequences of SARS-CoV-2 9b (P0DTD2) and ORF14 (P0DTD3) proteins. Modeling has been presented with the introduction of hybrid comparative and ab-initio modeling. The evolutionary analysis of both the proteins of human SARS-CoV-2 indicates close relatedness to the bat coronavirus.
