Talk:Protein biosynthesis

following translation you are bound to run in circles. translation (genetic) really deserves a page of it's own. Kku 11:43 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)

Post-translational modification

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)

Post-translational modification

The article says:

Many proteins undergo post-translational modification.

Don't all proteins undergo post-translational modification to remove the methionine unit that is always present at the initial end of the strand after it is manufactured by the ribosome? -- Dominus 16:07, 9 May 2004 (UTC)

needs pictures

Some pictures would really help this article. --67.80.171.173 20:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)

I have to agree that some pictures or even animated diagrams would help--ManInStone 10:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

By now, ANYTHING WOULD HELP!!!!!!!! --Heero Kirashami (talk) 06:29, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

NIGA.........

diagram incorrect

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

Water is a lot more than the diagram above as well. For the purpose of this article, a representation of HOH is adequate, as we are more interested in the nature of the dipeptide. Water as a matter of fact is joined at and angle of 105 degrees... just correcting the previous error...

not understandable

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)

hey, you're a scientist not trained in biology. me, I'm just a smart minor who is trying to understand this stuff.--Heero Kirashami (talk) 06:31, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

i have been trying to figure outt how long this process is. its an important part to this article. if any1 knows plz let me no. my email is ammenworb@gmail.com thx<3 —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.172.235.100 (talk) 21:53, 6 March 2008 (UTC)

Translation?

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)

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)

Strange use of words

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)

copyvio

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)

Merge Proposal

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.

Redirect

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)

Protein synthesis inhibitors

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)

Article should be merged with Central Dogma

Both articles contain almost identical information and protein synthesis is a part of the Central Dogma

References

One of the references is by "Jeremy, Ron", and the "Molecular Biology of the White Girl", by Vivid, on a link on redtube.net. I'm guessing this is not correct...
