Talk:Protein biosynthesis

message: Hi all, now that I've finished with my edits to the page I'd like to thank anyone who assisted in editing the article and the addition of the GIF. The now aim/structure of the article is that the lead section provides sufficient detail and is accessible to a GCSE student. The rest of the details in the article are to the level of A-level with various extensions to include some degree level content e.g the section on types of glycosylation or sickle cell anaemia and figures to support visual learners throughout.

thread_title: Article editing for Coursework - Update

message: Hi all, I'm a final year life sciences student at Imperial College London. For part of my Science Communication coursework, we have been tasked with improving a Wikipedia article. Based on your comments and the analysis by Wikipedia, I have chosen this article to improve. My goals are to edit/re-write this article to make it coherent, logical and streamlined, I'm specifically aiming to make this article accessible to GCSE and A-level students as Protein Biosynthesis is a core part of many curricula - for context, the textbooks referenced in this article are undergraduate level despite protein biosynthesis being a core concept in Biology. In addition, I will be adding my own illustrations to try and make it easier to understand. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated Kep17 (talk) 15:51, 3 March 2020 (UTC)
thread_title: Article editing for Coursework

message: I agree with many users that this article is impossible to read. While I make no particular claim to expertise in the subject matter, anyone with a middle schooler's grasp of English can plainly see that the writing style is utterly contrary to scholarly writing. The introduction is a rambling presentation of numerous facts and arguments which are unrelated to each other and which do not introduce the topic. While the introduction could potentially be rewritten to be grammatically and structurally sound, I suspect that the facts themselves have merely been picked from the body for arbitrary reasons. I recommend the article be tagged as in need of editing or numerous issues. 192.107.155.5 (talk) 18:18, 20 April 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  language is very disorganized 

message: I can see how you'd be confused, Dominus, but I can also understand why the article would be worded that way, as there are different post-translational modification processes involving different chemical/structural changes, and if a protein is not chemically modified, then PTMs are irrelevant. Perhaps it would clarify things to word the statement as follows: "Proteins may undergo post-translational modification, including the formation of disulfide bridges or attachment of any of a number of biochemical functional groups." Just in case you were wondering the post translational modification of proteins occurs in the Golgi Apparatus...  Rena Silverman 16:04, 17 September 2007 (UTC)

message: not being a clever biologist myself at my GCSEs, i couldn't help but notice that the diagram "The chemical process of connecting two amino acids resulting in a dipeptide and a water molecule" was incorrect.
Water, being H²O, is connected up as H-O-H, but is connected as a right angle, so more like
:
:H

:O -- H
Thanks

thread_title:  diagram incorrect 

message: this article and the ones under it like transcription are not understandable to me, a scientist not trained in biology. they assume more knowledge than many interested readers will have. they jump right into arcane technical details without giving upfront motivation. --Rmalloy 04:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  not understandable

message: Why doesn't this article contain information about Translation?  It seems to be that this is the most important step of protein biosynthesis (that is to say, it is the step that immediately results in a protein). Malignon 16:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I just added a section on translation... but it may be a bit long and probably needs some editing... if someone could look it over please! :) -ComCC 01:38, 18 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Translation?

message: What is the scientific background behind the sentence; "The amino acids are then loaded onto tRNA trains for use in the process of journeying forth to the world beyond."? I think this should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Lozzaaa (talk • contribs) 13:44, 24 February 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Strange use of words

message: Since the translation section was in odd language and was signed with a book and publisher, assuming copyvio - quick fix replaced with lead section from  Translation (biology) Leevanjackson (talk) 01:48, 24 March 2008 (UTC)

message: I propose the merger of the "Protein synthesis" page into "Protein biosynthesis".
From a Wikipedia Operational perspective:
Both pages are marked "It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with ..." but I see no discussion of the merger.  Nor were the merger "Discuss" link set up (I've now set them up).  Am I missing something?
From a merits of merging perspective:
"Protein synthesis" makes no mention of artificial synthesis.
The "Protein" page references "Protein synthesis".
"Protein" has a "Chemical synthesis" section.
A Google search sent me to "Protein synthesis".
Assuming that the interested parties concur; I volunteer to perform a quick, and not too clean, merge of the two articles.  The article resulting from the merge will still require a good deal of work.
At 6:00pm, reading a New York Time genetics article, I looked up "Coding region (Biology)" in Wikipedia and have been Wikipedia-ing since.  It is now midnight and I have a headache.

thread_title:  Merge Proposal 

message: I added a redirect from the page "proteosynthesis" as this term showed up as a synonym for Protein synthesis in a couple of papers I read recently. It is not that common of a term as far as I can see. Colincbn (talk) 05:59, 3 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Redirect

message: Hello. I just wanted to note that the while Protein synthesis inhibitors redirects here (or used to redirect here), there is in fact a Protein synthesis inhibitor article out there. I've modified the redirect but perhaps some here will find it appropriate to merge back here the content of the Protein synthesis inhibitor article. Pichpich (talk) 22:23, 12 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Both articles contain almost identical information and protein synthesis is a part of the Central Dogma
--Arafitos (talk) 00:55, 18 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Article should be merged with Central Dogma 

message: Both the articles refer to the same thing. I see no dissimilarities. The ultimate goal of gene expression is protein synthesis. These two articles are like seeing a snake from its mouth and from the tail. So I propose to merge the two articles. This message will also be posted on Gene expression article. --G.Kiruthikan (talk) 13:57, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
