Which article are you evaluating?
Protein structure

Why you have chosen this article to evaluate?
This article defines and explains protein structure, which is at the foundation of biochemistry and the life sciences, and whose principles underlie virtually all biochemical reactions that occur in living systems. Protein structure is of great significance and is highly relevant in a number of disciplines, hence this article was chosen for evaluation. At first impression, the article appears to be well-written and well-structured, providing a good summary of protein structure.

Evaluate the article
The lead section begins with a concise yet comprehensive overview of the article’s topic, protein structure, that is clear to follow and includes a sufficient amount of detail. However, it appears that discussions in the lead section regarding non-covalent interactions and techniques to visualize proteins lack footnotes and may require citations. The article has an organized table of contents, and delves into more detailed discussions related to protein structure. The content appears to be relevant and contains a substantial number of links to other main articles for further information. The sections are also well-balanced, though some may benefit from further expansion, such as the section titled “Protein Stability.” This section, as well as “Domains, Motifs, and Folds in Protein Structure” may also need more citations to back up the facts. Overall, the article is well written, and the inclusion of images helps to visualize the levels of protein structure and enhances the understanding of the topic. Lastly, the references list appears to include an adequate number of peer-reviewed and up-to-date citations, though, as mentioned, unsourced material should be addressed and additional citations should be added. Overall, the article is well-developed, though the need for additional references should not be overlooked.
