Talk:Branched Chain Aminotransferase

major points
The first section needs to be reworked; the second paragraph seems out of place, and there are some tense and subject disagreements. The "Ideal conditions" sections may possibly fit under the "Structure/Function" category, though it's hard to tell without the accompanying description. The "In mammals" section might benefit from a more descriptive subheading title (i.e. "Importance in mammalian physiology" or "research in the mammalian system"). Generally good language.

minor points
More phrases can be wiki-linked (e.g. S-nitrosylation, homology, etc.). When you mention authors of a study by name, you should probably include the year in parenthesis (in the Active Site subheading, Conway, Yeenawar et al.). All instances of helices that are in reference to alpha helices should probably be labeled as "alpha helices" (not just "helices").Sdb27 (talk) 01:13, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

Overall, I think that this is a good draft. The language in the first section before going into the contents feels a bit disjointed and could use some cleaning up. I'm not sure if that's formatting but it could be clearer. I think that the titles do their job in the article. Obviously pictures should be linked to the article and maybe referencing them in the article shouldn't be necessary, just put a caption under the picture.

minor points
As said above, more hyperlinks to relevant wiki articles because this is a very specific topic, it may help to have those links as references so people can see.Branngu (talk) 01:29, 29 March 2016 (UTC)

This definitely looks more fleshed out and it has a lot more sources. It's clear that you've done a lot of research on the topic and added a lot of useful information to the article. The plant section seems like it could be fleshed out a little bit, but since you've found many resources, it might just be that there isn't much out there on plants. There could more things wiki-linked I feel as well.

minor points
There are minor phrases that could probably be eliminated such as "BCATs are extremely important in mammalian physiology" As said in class before, maybe make the language in the intro paragraph more accessible to readers looking this up for the first time. Branngu (talk) 04:22, 5 April 2016 (UTC)

Major points I think the article could benefit from a picture showing the structure of "Branched Chain Aminotransferases". I also think you should expand or remove the bacteria section. There isn't much text in that section, so it doesn't fit in with the rest for he article. I really liked how detailed your article was and how many sources you used.

Minor points I think you can vary your sentence structure a bit more. I also think you can wiki-link some more terms in your paper (such as the molecular pathways and certain molecules). — Preceding unsigned comment added by Suhasini66 (talk • contribs) 12:34, 8 April 2016 (UTC)

you’ve clearly added a lot of content; now it’s time to clean it up before moving it to the wikispace! Isolating a single paragraph at a time and thoroughly screening it for grammatical errors, missed abbreviations (see minor points), and clarity will facilitate the process. Don’t forget to link to other articles (there are plenty of wikipedia article link opportunities in all that you’ve written). Take the time to look at my previous review as well, if you haven’t had the time to look yet. The minor points below consist of a few examples that might guide your careful review.

 * When you use a phrase that you later want to abbreviate, make sure you indicate that by putting the abbreviation in parenthesis right after you type it out the first time. Be consistent with using only the abbreviated form after you’ve spelled it out once. (examples BKCD, BCAA, etc.)
 * "BCATs have been found to play a role in developing aromatic volatile compounds that give melons…"
 * Streptococcus mutans isn’t the only bacteria that causes tooth decay ("In Streptococcus mutans, a gram-positive bacteria that lives in human oral cavities and is partly responsibly for tooth decay, amino acid…”).
