Hello, can anyone assist me with research papers on how to identify the cDNA region encoding mature peptides of genes.

Just use any genome browser, I personally use the UCSC one, you will get the genomic, mRNA and protein sequence for the genes you look for.

Are humoral immune indexes such as lysozyme and antiproteases measured in terms of Opitcal density or Optical depth?

In many article, authors use the abbreviation OD when describing protocols in measuring indexes such as; lysozyme, antiproteases, total protein among other humoral immune indexes. I understand...

Antiprotease activity, when a measure is negative, what could be the source of the problem?

My measure of a control serum blank (trypsin without serum) antiprotease activity is lower than my tested samples. The percentage antiprotease activity therefore is negative when computed. What...
