Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title
 * Interleukin 10


 * Article Evaluation
 * The article was appropriate for the material and written in neutral scientific tone. It had 61 references that were well linked and all cited. I'm not sure why this is rates as a C class article, however interleukin 10 is of interest to me because my father has multiple sclerosis so I feel possibly I could add to the section regarding that.

 * Masanori, M. Akemi, B. Takafumi, Y. et all. Interleukin-10-Producing Plasmablasts Exert Regulatory Function in Autoimmune Inflammation. Immunity [online], 2014 ,41, 1040-1051. DOI: ) http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.immuni.2014.10.016

Option 2

 * Article title
 * IL-10 family


 * Article Evaluation
 * A short list of a few IL-10 family proteins, 8 references not linked. There is probably room for improvement here. The tone is correct, but the information is brief.


 * Sources
 * Commins, S., Steinke, J. W., & Borish, L. The extended IL-10 superfamily: IL-10, IL-19, IL-20, IL-22, IL-24, IL-26, IL-28, and IL-29. Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology [online], 121, 15, 1108-1111. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.jaci.2008.02.026

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Immunoglobulin superfamily


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was well written in the correct tense and had good visuals. It was somewhat short and could have more detail put in.


 * Sources
 * Gil, N, Fajardo, EJ, Fiser, A. Discovery of receptor-ligand interfaces in the immunoglobulin superfamily. Proteins. 2020; 88: 135– 142. https://doi-org.aurarialibrary.idm.oclc.org/10.1002/prot.25778

Option 4

 * Article title
 * Myelin protein zero


 * Article Evaluation
 * Myelin again plays into the factors surrounding multiple sclerosis and would be a subject I would want to cover. The article is decently written in the proper scientific style with 17 good references and additional readings, one of which includes info on similar material to the additional source I mention below. Given that it is given a C rating, I feel the article could be fleshed out a little more.

 * Megan L. Plotkowski, Sanguk Kim, Martin L. Phillips, Anthony W. Partridge, Charles M. Deber, and James U. Bowie 2007 46 (43), 12164-12173 DOI: 10.1021/bi701066h

Option 5

 * Article title
 * Protein topology


 * Article Evaluation
 * This article was brief but included numerous links to accessory information. However, the info contained on the root page could be more extensive.


 * Sources
 * Yen-Kuang Chen, Kuo-Bin Li, Predicting membrane protein types by incorporating protein topology, domains, signal peptides, and physicochemical properties into the general form of Chou’s pseudo amino acid composition, Journal of Theoretical Biology, Volume 318, 2013, Pages 1-12, ISSN 0022-5193, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jtbi.2012.10.033 .
