As we could not find any template protein having a minimum 35% similarity to our target protein, a threading algorithm for RBP protein modeling was used by I-TASSER server. Five models were generated, and according to the I-TASSER validation criteria, model number one had the least calculation errors and fitted best within the X-ray/NMR 3D population criteria (Fig. 3). In this study, five top models proposed by I-TASSER were used as receptors of the docking experiments, and phenylglyoxal, juglone, and JA were used as ligands. Docking outcome showed that the interaction of model number 4 with JA produced a proper energy (-186.3), which indicates the highest absolute value among the docking results. Other docking outcomes that were sorted by energy are shown in Table 4.
