following translation you are bound to run in circles. translation (genetic) really deserves a page of it's own. Kku 11:43 Jan 10, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Post-translational modification
The article says:
- Many proteins undergo post-translational modification.
Don't all proteins undergo post-translational modification to remove the methionine unit that is always present at the initial end of the strand after it is manufactured by the ribosome? -- Dominus 16:07, 9 May 2004 (UTC)
[edit] needs pictures
Some pictures would really help this article. --67.80.171.173 20:21, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Prokaryotic protein synthesis
This article should contain much more information on the differences between prokaryote and eukaryote protein synthesis. One is left with the impression that all RNA synthesis (transcription) produces mRNA transcripts with polyA tails. There is no mention of how transcription and translation are linked in prokaryotes. There also needs to be mention of polycistronic organisation in prokaryotes and monocistronic organisation in eukaryotes. Also mention that there are no introns in prokaryotes could be made. Anyone up for it?--Alun 05:34, 13 May 2005 (UTC)
[edit] diagram incorrect
not being a clever biologist myself at my GCSEs, i couldn't help but notice that the diagram "The chemical process of connecting two amino acids resulting in a dipeptide and a water molecule" was incorrect.
Water, being H²O, is connected up as H-O-H, but is connected as a right angle, so more like
- H
- |
- O -- H
Thanks

Water is a lot more than the diagram above as well. For the purpose of this article, a representation of HOH is adequate, as we are more interested in the nature of the dipeptide.
[edit] not understandable
this article and the ones under it like transcription are not understandable to me, a scientist not trained in biology. they assume more knowledge than many interested readers will have. they jump right into arcane technical details without giving upfront motivation. --Rmalloy 04:46, 8 October 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Translation?
Why doesn't this article contain information about Translation? It seems to be that this is the most important step of protein biosynthesis (that is to say, it is the step that immediately results in a protein). Malignon 16:25, 8 March 2007 (UTC)
