prochymosin is one of the most important aspartic proteinases used as a milk-clotting enzyme in cheese production. in the present investigation we report sequence of cdna encoding goat ( capra hircus ) preprochymosin and compare its nucleotide and deduced amino acid sequences with sequences of other ruminants preprochymosin. as bovine prochymosin, the caprine prochymosin cdna encodes 365 amino ...

Avian reoviruses (ARVs) are considered as an important cause of several diseases in poultry, particularlyarthritis and tenosynovitis. Tenosynovitis and arthritis, which are among the causes of chronic lameness inbreeder flocks, can result in reduced egg production and culling of breeder hens. In this study, the molecularcharacteristics of ARVs in some broiler breeder flocks were investigated in...

Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
