Talk:Myoglobin

message: In section "Structure and Bonding" there is mention of "distal prosthetic group" which apparently refers to the distal histidine. Histidine is an amino acid of the protein, not a prosthetic group. Also, "picket fence porphyrin" is a particular organic-chemical analog of (sterically restrained?) heme, not the name of the hypothesis. Or am I missing something?

thread_title:  Question 

message: I removed this section from the article, because it seems to be a general description of the mechanism of protein folding, rather than anything specifically about myoglobin:
Myoglobin has eight helical segments connected by bends to form a compact, nearly spherical, tertiary structure.  Myoglobin adopts the shape it does because of hydrophilic (water-loving) interactions of the polar side chains on acidic or basic amino acids.  These acidic or basic amino acids with charged side chains tend to congregate on the exterior of the protein where they can be solvated by water.  Those amino acids with neutral, non-polar side chains tend to congregate on the hydrocarbon-like interior of the protein molecule.

message: I would like to know if anyone has a method to remove the porphyrin group from myoglobin in order to remove the colouring effect when cooking pelagic fish.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Laujensen (talk • contribs) 11:43, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I know it was an imperfect merge with the new infobox, but I tried to preserve as much content as I could.  Having said that, some information was lost.  If people feel that the old infobox was superior, I'd be open to anything up to and including reverting back to the old version. AndrewGNF (talk) 02:06, 5 January 2008 (UTC)

replies: text: Indeed.  Looks like  clobbered a lot of the content through a series of edits.  I considered rolling back the article to the last edit by  -- , but I also noticed that there's also something wrong with the earlier edit by  --  (the protein box is messed up).  Unfortunately, I don't know how to fix this latter problem, so I've rolled the article back to right before ProteinBoxBot's last edit. Noca2plus (talk) 05:44, 6 August 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I figured out the latter problem --  was corrupt.  I fixed it and have included ProteinBoxBot's edit in the new version of the article. Noca2plus (talk) 18:17, 6 August 2008 (UTC)

message: It makes it seem like it needs to be put in the blood (following muscle injury). This is not its main purpose: it has oxygen, and exists already in muscle, so it can be used immediately 129.180.166.53 (talk) 10:12, 10 June 2012 (UTC)

message: The interlanguage links are missing, because the "Languages" list links the Wikidata entry of the gene encoding the protein described in the article:
This Wikidata page is linked in the "Languages" list: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q14819296
This Wikidata page describes the protein and contains the correct interlanguage links of myoglobin: https://www.wikidata.org/wiki/Q192642
I don't know how the Wikidata page is assigned to the Wikipedia page, so I don't know how to edit it. It's definitely wrong to add the Myoglobin(protein) interlanguage links to the gene MB on Wikidata. Can someone help?
