Talk:Inositol trisphosphate

Untitled
The chemical structure would be easier to visualize if a chair conformation were used.

Is it triphosphate or trisphosphate? The title is not consistent with the body of the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.239.144.167 (talk) 23:30, 19 March 2009 (UTC)
 * It is trisphosphate since the phosphates are not covalently bound together, but are found in different locations in the molcule. Triphosphate means that the phosphates are attached to each other in the same molecule, like ATP.  Same logic applies for bisphosphate and tetrakisphosphate I believe. (See fructose 1,6-bisphosphate for another example.) Cmcnicoll (talk) 15:00, 2 April 2009 (UTC)

Article should be moved to inositol-trisphosphate
I suggest that the Article be moved to the Article named Inositol-trisphosphate, I don't know how to do this, though.--130.83.117.163 (talk) 13:00, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

Requested move
Inositol triphosphate → Inositol_trisphosphate — Because this is the chemical correct name for this molecule. —triple5 User:130.83.117.163 13:14, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * For clarity, the proposed change is adding an "s" as the fourth letter of the second word, ie changing the prefix from "tri" to "tris". —  æk Talk  21:11, 22 December 2009 (UTC)

✅ It's a phosphoric acid, not a phosphate... but as usual, what do biologists care? --Rifleman 82 (talk) 16:48, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Edit request on 14 October 2013
The second sentence of the third paragraph of the IP3 Signaling Pathways section needs revision:

"Once at the ER, IP3 is able to bind to a the Ins3PR receptor on a ligand-gated Ca2+ channel that is found on the surface of the ER"

IP3 is able to bind to an Ins3PR or the Ins3PR seem like reasonable options, but it still sounds convoluted.

Also, the abbreviation Ins3PR = inostitol 3 phosphate receptor, which makes the following word "receptor" redundant.

Finally, Signaling only has 1 "L," so someone should have spellchecked this article! Lingham1 (talk) 19:32, 14 October 2013 (UTC)

 * Okay, I have fixed the grammer problems in a way that I hope is clear. As for signalling vs. signaling, that depends on American vs UK English. Signalling is UK style. The article has a mix (not good) but since signaling wins out in the linked articles, I'm just going to use a single l in the few "signallings" and it will be American by default. Sorry, you Brits.
