[edit] -ase

Is a dictionary definition Meandmyself 17:42, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Comment: Any argument that applies to -ase should apply equally to -ane, -ene, -oic acid, -ol, -one, -yl, and -yne. (See Category:Chemical nomenclature) --M@rēino 17:51, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand. Useful chemistry content. bikeable (talk) 18:45, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep, or else we'll have to delete these. Bhumiya 19:10, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

  • Keep, fatten up. BD2412 T 22:46, 2 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Keep and expand per precedent from the category cited by Mareino. I'm a layman, and -ase is the bio-chem suffix I know best, except maybe -ose. If not expanded to show how important this is in biochemistry, then maybe just make it a redirect to Enzyme, as it's a quite plausible search term. Is a leading hyphen considered inappropriate for an article-space title? I note that it was a working article link. Barno 00:28, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
  • Redirect to their appropriate chemical articles. -ane to alkane, -ol to alcohol, etc. - Mgm|(talk) 10:51, 3 February 2006 (UTC)
    • E.g. if I redirect -ane to alkane, the information about what "-ane" means will be buried among a mass of other matter, since it is impossible to make a redirect go to a specific paragraph. Anthony Appleyard 07:41, 7 February 2006 (UTC)
