[edit] Archived

Since there were no edits to the talk page since January 4 and it was 90+ kbs long, I archived the talk page. Quadzilla99 10:49, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

But the talk page was such an interesting study in the sciences! I understand the issue with the length, but I'd like to advertise here that it's an interesting read if only to see the various cognitive models on display by the posters. 66.93.3.210 04:28, 7 March 2007 (UTC)

Just wanted to point out that moving pic Image:Http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/a/ae/Protein Dynamics Cytochrome C 2NEW smaller.gif. it distructs a little when you are trying to read the text.. and i thing i read somewhere some rules what a proper page should/should not contain and i think i didnt recommand animations faster than 1move/3seconds..--91.127.232.51 19:33, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Importance scale

Incidentally shouldn't this be rated as core on the importance scale? Quadzilla99 10:52, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

What? There's an importance level above 'top'? These assessments are starting to sound like coffee sizes at Starbucks. Opabinia regalis 05:22, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Maybe I'm wrong I know they have a core group for biographies such as Michael Jordan and others let me check. Quadzilla99 06:20, 28 January 2007 (UTC)

Top is the highest level for these categories. Only biographies have the "core" level that I see. Quadzilla99 23:43, 30 January 2007 (UTC)

Top sounds good to me. Eganio (talk) 23:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

where are proteins made?joseph deloria june 20,2007

Proteins are made in the cell's cytoplasm by ribosomes. See the article on translation for more info. Eganio (talk) 23:31, 21 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proteins known as antibodies provide protection from disease.

Proteins known as antibodies provide protection from disease.Without proteins, no organism could exist,so proteins are the LAST category of organic molecules to be burned as fuel.Why I thought that first we burn alcohol,then proteins,then carbohydrates,then fat(lipid).What you kids ;) think?--Thank you.MD.Brian (talk) 05:51, 31 January 2008 (UTC)

First we burn sugars/carbohydrates. Next we burn fat. Then we burn protein. We do not burn alcohol for energy, we burn it to detoxify it as a poison. Burning alcohol produces heat as a byproduct. --Agesworth (talk) 09:27, 1 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Protein

Refer from Buffering agent, which said: "Buffering agents in humans, functioning in acid-base homeostasis, are extracellular agents (e.g., bicarbonate, ammonia) as well as intracellular agents (including proteins and phosphate)." The important thing is, what kind of protein in the cell of human body that work as a buffer? I think this Protein article should be expanded to cover that kind of example...

[edit] Disambiguation is not a disambiguation

The page has a reference to a disambiguation page, but the disambiguation page is not really a disambiguation page, but merely a list of protein-related topics. Also, I don't see why the link to protein in nutrition is placed under the title. I suggest renaming protein (disambiguation) into "protein-related topics" or similar. Consider making it a category. I would do these myself, but don't know how to do them. CuriousOliver (talk) 12:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

The dab page looked fine to me.Asher196 (talk) 13:36, 28 April 2008 (UTC)
