Identification of putative and potential cross-reactive chickpea (Cicer arietinum) allergens through an in silico approach

- First study reported on identification of putative allergens in chickpea using in silico approaches.
- Seven novel putative allergens from chickpea (Cicer arietinum) have been identified, based on sequence, structural and physicochemical similarities.
- Four out of seven putative allergens may also show cross reactivity with reported allergens, since the potential allergens had common sequence and structural features with the reported allergens.
