Detection of Metalloproteases and Cysteine Proteases RNA Transcripts of Leishmania (Leishmania) infantum in Ear Edge Skin of Naturally Infected Dogs

Figure 3

Leishmania spp. proteases mRNA folding stability. The two-dimensional mRNA structures were calculated by using “The mfold Web Server” assessing at different temperature: 26°C, 28°C, 30°C, 32°C, 34°C, 36°C, 38°C, and 40°C. RNA folding stability was expressed as measured propensity of a base to be single-stranded (ss-value). The calculations were performed for mRNA sequences of metalloproteases and cysteine proteases.
