Cathelicidin LL-37 is a cell signalling compound that stimulates many different cells in humans. One role of cathelicidin LL-37 is stimulating the production of endothelial cells in the formation of capillaries during wound healing.
Cathelicidin LL-37 is a protein composed of 37 amino acids.
Table 5.1 shows:
• the sequence of the first 10 amino acids in the primary structure of cathelicidin LL-37
• DNA triplets in the non-transcribed strand in the gene that codes for the first 10 amino acids in the primary structure of cathelicidin LL-37.

Question

Cathelicidin LL-37 is a cell signalling compound that stimulates many different cells in humans. One role of cathelicidin LL-37 is stimulating the production of endothelial cells in the formation of capillaries during wound healing.
Cathelicidin LL-37 is a protein composed of 37 amino acids.
Table 5.1 shows:
•	the sequence of the first 10 amino acids in the primary structure of cathelicidin LL-37
•	DNA triplets in the non-transcribed strand in the gene that codes for the first 10 amino acids in the primary structure of cathelicidin LL-37.
