*4.5. Molecular Modeling*

The structural modeling of unknown bacteriocins (I, II, III, IV, and VI) was performed using the I-TASSER package [62,63] since they were not suitable for traditional comparative modeling, requiring a combination of fragment and ab initio model building. UCSF Chimera [109] was used to visualize and edit the new bacteriocin structural models. Physico-chemical parameters were calculated with ProtParam [110].
