C3a (complement)
This page has some good information that highlights some of the basic roles of C3a, but is highly disorganized and does not contain comprehensive information at all. I would like to add more about structure and elucidate relevant mechanisms.

Structure
C3a is a molecule made up of 77 amino acids with three disulfide bonds http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0003986108004505

Interested Preliminary Topics
The three topics I would be most interested in editing include: 1) Helminth protein: This article does not have any "talk" other than that it is a molecular article. While there are only a few sentences on the article page now, from a little research online, it seems like there are ample resources for developing a much fuller article.

2) Antibody opsonization: This stub has a little more information but is very disorganized and has questionable information (as brought up by somebody on the Talk page). It would also intersect with what we have talked about in class so far and would provide an interesting starting point for further exploration.

3) Complement 4 deficiency: This would be an interesting medical article to try to flesh out that could be modeled after other disease articles.
