ABSTRACT
Brown algae, P. tetrastromaticaand Green algae C. peltata belong to the family
Dictyotaceae&Caulerpaceae. This present study was carried out by taking GC-MS data
performed by M. Uma Maheswari et al.(2017) & K. Murugan and V. V. Iyer (2014).
Phycocomponents were identified by them and its mechanism of action was identified
through docking analysis. Most of the drugs currently used for the anti-bacterial treatments
(for skin) produce side effects, and hence we focused on algae based compounds which
exhibit the minimum toxic effects. Molecular docking, Binding energy, Absorption,
Distribution, Metabolism, Excretion and Toxicity etc. were performed for
phytocomponents to analyze as a drug molecule. Docking experiments were carried out
between biocompounds from algae with 11 target proteins of well known skin pathogen S.
pyogenes using PyRx. Compounds showed better activity in all parameters as tabulated.
All the components can be further explored for structural modification and detailed
investigation to arrive at possible newer potent agent with better therapeutic effects.

INTRODUCTION
Recently, in silico procedure become a prominent tool for drug design and discovery. It is
helpful to identify and discover new potential drugs from sets of compounds.[1, 2, 3] With
the help of bioinformatics tools and techniques, the 3D structure of proteins, molecular
modeling of gene, gene expression and gene sequence analysis can be studied. [4, 5, 6] This
types of tools and techniques helpful to obtain, integrate and analyze data from diverse data
sources. Other useful strategies include in silico drug design methods, drug repurposing by
computational workflows, and network-based in silico screening for drug efficacy. [7, 8, 9]
The study of bioinformatics can assist a biologist to extract valuable information from
biological data providing by various web- and/or computer-based tools, the majority of which
are freely available.[10, 11] DDBJ, Uniprot, SWISS PROT, TAIR, Ensembl, Proteomics
Identification Database, PubChem, HMDB etc. are the available databases for retrieving
useful data.[12, 13, 14, 15] In silico study important in study related to the areas of
biological research which can be greatly assisted by analyzing tools such as DNA and protein
