Start the sentence writing the number per extenso = ?
Context:
Discussion: rephrase the following sentence: 60 kDa heat shock protein (HSP60) is a molecular chaperone and involved in many inflammatory and autoimmune diseases. Start the sentence writing the number per extenso.
write out the number "in full length'
Actually it should be "in extenso" - Latin for "at full length". "Per extenso" is an error, I believe.
@contrex,
So in particular, it just means that 60 kDa should be rewritten as sixty kDa?
@oristarA,
"The sixty kilodalton heat shock protein" would be even more
in extenso, but I am not a molecular biologist. I wonder whether it is the 60 or kDA which needs extending, or both.
