Talk:Hypoxanthine

message: I was wondering with hypoxanthine as a base for DNA when nitrous acid has been removed, does this new base continue on for many generations or does the repair mechanisms of the DNA cancel it out so the DNA becomes 'normal' again.
:Apparently, an enzyme named adenase converts the hypoxanthine back to adenine.  I'm trying to study for an AP bio test, and found no information in my textbook, so I headed to Wikipedia to get the information.  --Luigifan (talk) 17:24, 13 January 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Untitled

message: The currently listed name 3,7-dihydropurin-6-one appears to refer to a tautomer of the illustrated structure, whereas the illustrated structure should be 1H-purin-6(9H)-one. If I had to guess, I would say that the IUPAC name listed came from the nominal structure produced by the CambridgeSoft ChemDraw Name-To-Structure feature, which also yields the 3,7-dihydro tautomer.
Please consult the image below to observe the tautomerism:
In light of this discrepancy, I am changing the listed IUPAC name to 1H-purin-6(9H)-one such that it is analogous in hydrogenation to the listed isomers of guanine and adenine, i.e. as if they had nucleosidic glycosylation at position 9 replaced with a proton..

Talk:Neuse River

message: Is the river really named  in 1584 for the Neusiok tribe, as Enc. Brit. is saying?  "The Neuse River, the larger one, was named for the Neusiok Indians in 1584 by Arthur Barlow, one of Sir[[ Walter Raleigh\\’s scouts. The Tuscarora Indians, who occupied the peninsula, where New Bern is located, called the place “Gow-ta-no”, which means “pine in water”". "Neusiok": "An unclassified tribe, perhaps of Iroquoian stock, found in 1584 occupying the country on the south side of lower Neuse river, within the present Craven and Carteret Counties, North Carolina.  They were at war with the more southerly coast tribes.  In the later colonial period the Indians of the same region were commonly known as Neuse Indians and had dwindled by the year 1700 to 15 warriors in two towns, Chattooka and Rouconk.  They probably disappeared by incorporation with the Tuscarora."

message: The article currently states
:A symmetric delta can be expressed as \Delta(v_1, v_2) = (v_1 \backslash v_2) \cup (v_2 \backslash v_1), where v_1 and v_2 represent two successive versions. 
OK, that is a pretty formula, but what does it mean? (What does the "\" mean in this context?)
I'm guessing it means something like
:Given two versions v_1 and v_2, we can compute "the delta" between them.
:A directed delta tells us, once we know v_1, how to generate v_2 -- but if we only know v_2 and the directed delta, it's generally impossible to recover v_1.
:A symmetric delta can go both ways -- if we know v_1, it tells us how to generate v_2. But if we only know v_2, that same symmetric delta tells us how to generate v_1.
Is that all it means ?
Is it OK if I replace the mysterious formula with this English-language description?
