[edit] GA-review

This was an easy promotion - great job. I really had no comments although I do see that this project is still evolving and being improved. I would suggest a peer review in a couple of months followed by an attempt for Featured article status.Peter Rehse 06:50, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Dur I reverts lots.

Didn't see that Crazycomputers had already caught the vandalism when I reverted. Sorry. XD --AgentCDE 17:05, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Proline

general formula NH2CHRCOOH

IANABC (I Am Not A BioChemist) but the formula doesn't fit for proline with its secondary amine ... should it be changed? Daen 03:07, 25 March 2007 (UTC)

No. Proline's amine group cyclizes on the alpha carbon, true, but the general formula still holds if you think of one of nitrogen's hydrogens plus the rest of the ring as the R-group. --Cless Alvein 08:00, 30 March 2007 (UTC)

That general formula is not valid for proline. You can think of the R group in various ways, but proline simply doesn't have the NH2 that appears in the "general" formula. I'll add this as a footnote, since this level of detail could detract from the conciseness of the introduction. --Itub 08:34, 30 March 2007 (UTC)
