3.1 | Three dimensional OsAGPaseL1 and OsS1 modelsĀ 
Domain analysis of OsL1 and OsS1 revealed an N-terminal loop-region followed by two structurally folded functional domains; catalytic domain and β-helix domain (Figure 1A). Prior to 3D modeling, the N-terminal loop regions, OsL1 (1-73) and OsS1 (1-55), were removed and structurally folded regions were considered for model building. As displayed (Figure 1B), both 3D models (OsL1 and OsS1) showed similar structural features with those of the potato AGPase SS (StSS) crystal structure (1YP3)29 with a minimum structural deviation (RSMD: 0.409 for OsL1 vs. StS1, 0.327 for OsS1 vs. StSS). The predicted models were energy optimized and validated with their stereo-chemical parameters using several model validation servers (Table S1; Figure S1) and considered for further structural study.
