I don't think the Structural_domain article adds anything new. In fact some of it is out of context (Designability and disease - new research) and the definition provided is the opinion of the author, and not the definition that has been adopted in structural biology (i.e. Richardson 1981). Even the external links are out of context - domain databases that deal with sequence-domains (recurring mobile sequence modules) - where are the structural domain databases like SCOP and CATH? My suggestion would be to redirect Structural_domain to Protein domains. RAG —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 129.94.6.28 (talkcontribs) 18:25, March 21, 2007 (UTC)

I agree; the very term structural domain is very unhelpful - since it doesn't clearly refer to proteins. This article, however, is quite a good start; what is missing is a comprehensive list of protein-protein interaction domains... (that's a huge job, and may be too much for a particular article)
