Talk:Degron

Upcoming Revision
To all who may be interested, I am planning to revise this page in the coming weeks. Plan for revising Degron page: What first drew me to this page for revisions is the abundance of claims throughout the text that were unsupported by literature. Additionally, I found most of the current headings/sections were oddly specific and didn't tell the full story about degrons. My current plan for revising this page is to give a more thorough overview of what degrons are, what their functions are in protein turnover and how they can be useful in experimental/biotech environments. If I am able to find more literature that can support/elaborate on what is currently written, then I will incorporate those sections into my revision. Currently, I am searching for that literature as well as reading the other articles I've found in preperation for my update. I anticipate my article's structure being something along the lines of: section 1: what is a degron (sequence or structure which targets protein for degredation) section 2: Ubiquitin dependence -here I'll reference the degron-proteasome connection briefly since proteasome page exists section 3: Ubiquitin Independence -IkBa degron example section 4: utility in experimental biology -this is where most of the previously written material may appear
