Talk:DXP reductoisomerase

The enzyme is also widely known as MEP synthase
See, for instance, this report, equating them in the title. It is bias or ignorance not to make this clear.

The claim of the prevalence of both is based on the facts that (A) I have collaborated with a group that never used the name DXP reductoisomerase in our work or their publications, always using the alternative MEP sythnase (I know, WP:OR on my part, so read on); and (B) a simple review of the secondary literature via Pubmed, where there are 2 reviews containing both names, and 11 reviews each containing one or the other name—that is, there appear to be two committed schools, vis-a-vis the nomenclature in use.

To reproduce this observation, see this pubmed search [i], and do the following additional searches at Pubmed, clicking the "Review" filter under "Article types" at left of screen: [ii] (DXP reductoisomerase) AND (MEP synthase), [iii] (DXP reductoisomerase) NOT (MEP synthase), and [iv] (MEP synthase) NOT (DXP reductoisomerase).

I am placing this synonym in the article, will begin a Further reading section with some of the sources here, and otherwise note deficiencies in the current stub, so they can be remedied as the article develops. Le Prof 73.210.155.96 (talk) 19:33, 23 March 2017 (UTC)
