About this document
Chronic Periodontitis and Protein Analysis by Anchi Jen is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document provides background on chronic periodontitis and the bacteria Porphyromonas gingivalis. It then lists exercises to analyze the DNA sequence and protein structure of the RgpA cysteine protease enzyme from P. gingivalis, which is involved in periodontitis, and its inhibitor kappa-casein. The exercises also involve analyzing an unknown DNA sequence using bioinformatics tools like BLAST to identify similarities to other organisms.
