[edit] nulceosides

  • I removed all the modified nucleosides from the table, since adding all of them would be ridiculous (100 in RNA alone). I also removed ribose from the list because it is a sugar not a nucleoside.


  • If someone wants to make a seperate list for naturally modified nucleosides that would be great.

[edit] nucleic acides

  • A few of the last items were labelled nucleic acids when they are not really nucleic acids. Nucleic acids occur in the nuclei of cells, but molecules such as PNAs or Morpholinos are purely synthetic analogues. They should either be labelled as such or removed from this list entirely (though I think they are of sufficient interest to be retained).

  • I made a page "trying" Nucleic acid analogues to link the analogues, there are lots of orphan articles, categoried under either genetics or biochemistry (dending on the discipline of the authors?). would an "others" be decent for the template?Squidonius (talk) 14:58, 20 November 2007 (UTC) RESOLVED
  • cpDNA (chloroplast DNA) should be added; however there is no page for it yet (cpDNA redirects to chloroplast). - tameeria (talk) 04:28, 11 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] reorganization

Someone reorganized things like "plasmid" which were in the DNA section into a new list of cloning vectors but why are they in this template at all? They aren't really biochemistry-related and are used more in the molecular biology field instead. Maybe someone could make a new template. Ohwell32 (talk) 17:20, 28 December 2007 (UTC)
