Reinoutr 8 november 2005: This NatOrganicBox is too large to allow normal reading of the text next to it. Please change it or people will start converting them all back to the regular Chembox. Another comment on your recent edits of some amino acids is that you would not want to use so many abbreviations. This is an encyclopedia, not a research article, so please keep the text readable by writing them full.

Who's using it? I don't, i used it few times but some complained about this and that and i stopped, latter i checked and they had reversed them all, so if anyone is using it that's not me. And what's wrong with abbreviations, we are all used to ATP, NAD or DNA why not the rest? You don't want me to start writing adenosin triphosphate or nicotinamide dinucleotide phosphate, do you? Second, for a not so well informed reader wether it says TPI or Triose phosphate isomerase would not be any different if they don't know what the latter is, would it? Third, that's the whole point, because they have to use them so many times in any sort of publication, the researchers replace the full names with their abbreviations, so to make the text easier to read, or readable if you like. For those who are into this kind of info they will find it easier too (just like me for the last 10 or so years) - we also need cyclopedia too, for those who are not i think that the intro section is enough - they don't need to read the rest.
