Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/MCB articles by quality/2

Firstly, I feel that wikipedians would benifit from a PDB derived image of a connexin (maybe connexin 43), as well as some information about where it is found on the genome, its mass, etc.

Also, lets try to find most of the known functions of the various connexin molecules and add function not yet known. to those that are unknown at the time (Careful of OR though :)

Dendritic cell is an antigen presenting cell and belongs in that classification. (edit comment)

References (preferably in-line) and the phrase "First, a probe is constructed" needs to be expanded and much more detail included (i.e. what is a probe? A short little description, like: made from, how big, etc.. should suffice) Also, I have added a diagram that I came across that seemed to be particularly helpful. (edit comment)

please correct. (edit comment)

selective destruction of RECENTLY activated T-cells ? If this is the case, presumably it could have many potential implications including Tx of graft-versus-host disease, and various new-onset T-cell mediated autoimmune diseases.

Any thoughts or info ? (edit comment)

I think its a START class - maybe creeping towards a B if more contextual information is added.

This article needs more content, especially the fluid mosaic model which currently redirects to cell membrane. - tameeria 17:43, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This should be an overview/introduction of cell metabolism (glycolysis, citric acid cycle, respiration, etc.) and as such I feel it should be top priority. It's definitely part of high school or even lower level education. - tameeria 14:51, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

The article needs expansion and images (e.g. isogamy versus anisogamy) - tameeria 18:08, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article needs expansion/clarification, references, and images (e.g. explaining genotype-phenotype distinction). - tameeria 18:21, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article needs to be expanded. It needs a section on hydrophilicity in biomolecules, e.g. soluble proteins, biological membranes as barriers for hydrophilic molecules etc. - tameeria 18:35, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article needs to be expanded with a section on hydrophobicity in biochemistry, e.g. role in lipid bilayer formation, protein folding etc. - tameeria 18:31, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article has no references. The top two figures don't work in my browser. - tameeria 18:37, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Article needs expansion, references etc. The figures don't work in my browser. - tameeria 18:39, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article was marked a while ago as needing expert attention. The figure doesn't work in my browser. - tameeria 18:42, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article needs sections on osmosis and dialysis and references. - tameeria 20:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

This article needs expansion, references, and images. - tameeria 20:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Changed rating to "high" as this is high school/SAT biology content, important part of chromosome and meiosis. - tameeria 21:40, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

Changed rating to "high" as this is high school/SAT biology content, part of the cell cycle. - tameeria 21:17, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

changed rating to "high" for consistency with similar MCB pages - tameeria 15:01, 18 February 2007 (UTC) (edit comment)

It would appear that telocentric is a variation of acrocentric by terms of definition, but in reality is a different scenario, in that the short arm of the chromosome as mentioned in the acrocentric definition is essentially not present in a telocentric chromosome. So... yes, the article does contradict itself.

acrocentric chromosome - a chromosome with the centromere near one end so that one chromosomal arm is short and one is long

as opposed to

telocentric - Chromosome whose centromere appears to be at the very tip of the chromosome (Ratio of long arm to short arm is 1:0).
