message: ====Incorrect figure=== 
The figure under the section 'function' has an incorrectly drawn sugar. The bond that is being cleaved in the figure is in the beta-configuration. this figure should be removed as it is misleading and perpetuates incorrect information.

α-galactosidase (EC 3.2.1.22) is a large group of enzymes from three different families (e.g.  bacterial alpha-galactosidases are in Family 4, eucaryotes and some bacteria in Family 27, and bacterial plasmids and fungi make versions from family 36).  UniProt lists ~80 proteins, PDB ~30.  These include human, plant, fungi, protozoa, slime molds & bacteria.

message: An internet search conducted on 2013 February 5 (+ 2 store discoveries) found 10 commercially available products containing alpha-galactosidase as the primary active ingredient.
They are as follows:
GlaxoSmithKline   Beano   150 GalU   tablet
GlaxoSmithKline   Beano Meltaways   300 GalU   tablet
CVS   BeanAid   300 GalU   capsule
Gas-X   Prevention   600 GalU   capsule
KAL   Bean Relief   405 GalU   V-tablet
Swiss Natural Sources   Gaz Away   150 GalU   caplet
ValuePricedMeds   Bean-zyme   300 GalU   capsule
ValuePricedMeds   VEGAN Bean-zyme   300 GalU   V-capsule
Vitacost   Gas Enzyme Alpha-galactosidase   300 GalU   tablet
Walgreens  Anti-Gas   600 GalU   capsule
They have different doses, different fillers (none for BeanAid), different tablet or capsule forms and ingredients.
(Some people might be allergic to a filler or tablet/capsule ingredient.)
There are other products with multiple types of digestive enzymes.
Since many people only know of Beano, a section should be added with this list of available products.
There might be additional products that I haven't found yet.
It should be in table form, with columns for (at least) manufacturer, product name, dose, form.
I will check back in several weeks.  If it hasn't been done by then, I'll do it.

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I changed the incidences of "Fabry's disease" to Fabry disease, the medical term for the condition. Nearly all of the items in the Reference section bear this out as does the Wikipedia article for the disease. A link to Fabry disease now works. Thank you, Wordreader (talk)
I was just wondering if the section on Fabry disease ought to be shortened a great deal, and linked to a main article. While a mention is clearly important, this section seems quite large.

thread_title:  Article change. 

message: In "file history" (or actually "История файла" because it is on ru.wikipedia.org) I can see that it HAS been "Classification of α-galactosidases". No idea how to fix.--Bstard12 (talk) 19:49, 27 June 2019 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Classification of α-galactosidases (according to CAZy)" under "See also" links to a phone company logo. 

message: The sentence which purportedly describes the activity of the galactosidase and ends with a colon is immediately followed by a picture of its structure and  several tables related to its genetics etc.  The actual reaction only appears after all the tables. 108.29.53.242 (talk) 13:38, 23 June 2023 (UTC)
