This research done in Prof. Adhami's lab, concentrates on something very specific and because this is new research I probably won't find much on this topic.
How can I find background information or other articles on this topic to complete my assignment?
- I do know his work will use the technique immunoblot analysis for assessing the effectiveness of the black and green tea polyphenols. I might want to learn the background of this method or the pros and cons.
- I could find information just about prostate cancer and tea polyphenols (without the specific protein kinase).
- I could look for articles about tea and protein kinases (without the idea of cancer).
I could search MeSH in PubMed for each concept in the research topic and see which broader subject headings it falls into. Example: "protein kinase" -
Enzymes and Coenzymes
Enzymes
Transferases
Phosphotransferases
Phosphotransferases (Alcohol Group Acceptor)
Protein Kinases
The Effects of Nesting Height on Nesting Success of Red-Winged Blackbirds
How can I find background information or other articles on this topic to complete my assignment when this research is too new to find similar research?
- I might want to learn about the general nesting habits of Red-Winged Blackbirds
- I could find more general information about nesting success of Red-Winged Blackbirds not related to any particular aspect of the height.
- I could look for articles about nesting height and nesting success of birds in general (not specific to Red-Winged Blackbirds).
