1.3 Prediction of templates
The similarity search is generally done by using
BLAST tool and the protein-protein similarity search
is carried out by using the blastP tool. So the retrived
amino acid sequence was subjected to blastP against
PDB. From the result the suitable templates were
found for further study. The selected templates for
model building are given in Table 4.

1.4 Secondary structure prediction of protein
The secondary structure of protein was predicted by
using CFFSP server from where the percentage of
helix, sheets and turns were found (Figure 1). The
detail information is given in Table 5.

1.5 Homology modelling
The 3D structures of the photosystemII D2 protein was
generated by using homology modelling concept, in
which four different templates were selected for model
building.The models were generated by using modeller
9.12 tool(Bilal et al., 2013, Singh et al., 2009). The
align2d.py, model-single.py and evaluate-model.py
files were rum on the python script by setting the target,
template and number of models to be generated. Here 5
models for each template were generated and the best
model was selected on the basis of lowest DOPE score.
The properties which were found after structure
visualisation is given in Table 6 and Table 7. the tertiary
atructures of protein is given in Figure 2-Figure 5.
