Talk:Post-translational modification

template
This page is full of pictures so I will not add the ((MolBioGeneExp)) template. if this is not the case plz add --Squidonius (talk) 17:00, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

Correct Spelling
What is the correct spelling: posttranslational, post-translational, post translational? This article uses at least two of these. I find little consistency throughout the literature as well. Any input?--Nick Y. (talk) 16:10, 8 September 2011 (UTC)
 * I think the hyphen improves readability and helps distinguish it from post-transcriptional or co-translational. I think post translational should not be used.--ChiBeta (talk) 02:32, 16 December 2016 (UTC)

GeneticCode21-version-2.svg confusing
Genetic code graphic figure GeneticCode21-version-2.svg is confusing in this context. Though not quite as bad as the use on the Genetic_code page, to me (a non-expert) this figure implies a relationship between the genetic code and post-translational modification which (as far as I can tell) doesn't exist in the natural genetic code. My initial interpretation was "oh, so the redundant codons actually specify posttranslational modifications." I can understand the desire for a sexy graphic instead of boring tables, but IMO this page would be improved by simple deletion of that figure. Robertmacl (talk) 12:53, 13 May 2014 (UTC)
 * That figure is really intended to illustrate which mRNA codons code for which amino acids, with the notes about which residues undergo PTM being secondary to the main point. Still, I think that it's helpful to have the specific modifications organized by amino acid the way the figure does, so I would suggest that we leave it in the article.

 * I have added a table that covers all the modifications in the figure and some others, listed by AA residue. I then removed the figure from view as most of it is not relevant to the content of this article.ChiBeta (talk) 04:06, 3 February 2017 (UTC)
