4.8.4. Subcellular Localization

Protein localization is an important aspect in identifying new drug targets. Since no information regarding the subcellular localization of these protein sequences was available, the TBpred webserver was used to predict the localization of selected proteins. Multiple prediction approaches for analyzing the localization of mycobacterial proteins were used to predict the presence of protein, whether in membrane, cytoplasm, lipid-anchored and secreted categories, based on the scores [58].
