Talk:Acetyl-CoA

message: The article on ketone bodies (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ketone_bodies) states that the "heart gets little energy from ketone bodies; it uses mainly fatty acids."  This is contrary to the current article's "both the skeletal and cardiac muscles satisfy their energy requirement mainly through oxidation of ketone bodies."  I don't know which one is right (did look in PubMed and found some articles suggesting limited ketone body usage by skeletal muscle).  Clarify.  76.21.142.29 (talk) 04:44, 4 December 2009 (UTC)

Why is there no IUPAC name?

message: 28 Nov 2009 removed a tag from chembox that was messing up the display of the page. The tag contained:
| InChI = 1/C23H38N7O17P3S/c1-12(31)51-7-6-25-14(32)4-5-26-21(35)18(34)23(2,3)9-44-50(41,42)47-49(39,40)43-8-13-17(46-48(36,37)38)16(33)22(45-13)30-11-29-15-19(24)27-10-28-20(15)30/h10-11,13,16-18,22,33-34H,4-9H2,1-3H3,(H,25,32)(H,26,35)(H,39,40)(H,41,42)(H2,24,27,28)(H2,36,37,38)/t13-,16-,17-,18+,22-/m1/s1
I have no idea what this means or how to fix it, but someone may want to.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.119.18.244 (talk) 03:52, 29 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: The InChI is a code that identifies the compound.  It is for the untrained person unreadable (and this one probably also for trained people), but it can be machine read.  Having this code on the page results that you can find this compound using internet search engines (i.e., for sure find THIS compound, other searches may find for many compounds many mismatches, e.g. the name can be written in different ways, the formula can be sorted in a different way, but some of these codes are always leading to the right compound).  It is hidden behind a 'show' button so it does not mess up the page in normal view, but is still there so it can be read.  It may mess up the display in show-mode, but that is easily repaired by clicking hide again, or refreshing the page.  I hope this explains.  --Dirk Beetstra T C 10:27, 1 December 2009 (UTC)

message: Hi , I replaced the introductory diagram of the structure of acetyl-CoA <File:Acetyl-CoA-2D.svg> with one showing the acetyl group in blue. You improved on this diagram, creating <Acetyl-CoA-2D_colored.svg> which appears in the Ketone bodies article. However, you reverted the one here with the original <File:Acetyl-CoA-2D.svg> which does not make it clear which part of the molecule is the acetyl group in the very complex acetyl-CoA molecule (except to those who have a very extensive grounding in organic chemistry and its many and varied symbolisms). 
The very name "acetyl-CoA" emphasizes the central importance of the acetyl group, a fact that is further emphasized in the introduction to the article. I therefore think it is only fair to the general reader that the appropriate diagram here is <Acetyl-CoA-2D_colored.svg>. I wonder whether you would consider using the colored version of the diagram here - it would save a lot of unnecessary bafflement.   Cruithne9 (talk) 08:00, 23 February 2016 (UTC)

thread_title: Assessment comment

message: It is not good form to leave invisible text in the current versions of the article. I found a block of text, surrounded by the Wikipedia comment markers, so that it did not show. Some editor "removed" it my "commenting it out". The correct editing technique it to actually delete it, and let other editors use the saved previous versions to restore it or do what ever they want with the removed text. For instance you can see what I removed by looking at the version immediately before my change, using my name and time appended here. Nick Beeson (talk) 21:02, 15 November 2016 (UTC)
