Abstract: The analytical tools NCBI, ExPASy and CBS were adopted to analyze the bioinformatic properties of the PvMEF2 protein, such as sequence characteristics, physicochemical properties, structure and functional domains. The results show that PvMEF2 has conserved MADS and MEF2 domains and that its physicochemical properties, secondary and tertiary structures are similar to those of the MEF2 protein of Drosophila melanogaster. PvMEF2 protein may play an important role in myogenesis in Polyrhachis vicina Roger.
