a.          
Go to the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)
website http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/. Click on BLAST on the
right-hand side under “Popular Resources.” BLAST is a program that
will allow you to find the protein sequence for the DNA sequence
(gene) you submit. Next click on blastx

b.          Paste
the DNA sequence into the box under “Entry Query Sequence.” Scroll
down and click BLAST. The search may take a few seconds; the page
will keep updating until the search is completed. You do not need
to enter any parameters in the boxes before you click BLAST.

What would be the amino acid sequence of this protein after it
was transcribed using BLAST? I found out that the protein was
called elastase
