**Option 2

 * Article title: Motor protein
 * Article Evaluation : Start-class. High importance in the scope of "Molecular Cell Biology Task-force"
 * I have reviewed the talk section and do agree with one suggestion to move a category to the bottom of the page- the category on "Diseases associated with motor protein defects".
 * I also see that the comment stated that kinesin can't actually move towards positive or negative end. Perhaps this only warrants a comment back to the person that said it because the writer does mention that it depends on the type of kinesin, and there is a link to the kinesin superfamily section of the a Kinesin article. Perhaps I can make mention and linkage of the specifics (the ones capable of moving towards (-) end to narrow it down for anyone else interested. Though the writer does mention that those with N-terminal generally move towards positive, and those with C-terminals, move toward negative, there is nothing to explain what this means, or specific linkage, neither is there in the other article. So I think it's worth considering a link at least- without going into too much detail and throwing the general balance off of the article. I think on this page it could be beneficial to add more about the chemical to mechanical energy conversion involving ATP. The writer mentions the hydrolysis of ATP and the proton pump, which I'm not arguing, but I think the break-down is very cool for what's really happening to cause the movement. Perhaps this is unnecessary because hydrolysis of ATP is what it really comes down to, but it could be a neat add on.
 * The author talks about Myosin and Dynein, and while they do also use the hydrolysis of ATP, I think to be more concise, I could add content even in the form of graphics to illustrate that not all motor proteins quite do the 2-legged "walk". Kinesin uses a processive* movement and needs to stay on the track differing from myosin for one.
 * As it stands, at a glance, one might assume that Myosin and Dynein are the same though again, the author does talk about how they differ, but it wouldn't hurt to add graphics to illustrate the differences.
 * I think it's also possible to look into other diseases associated with motor protein defects, adding content to balance the subtopic with the rest of the article? Would want to be careful not to add too much though if it has it's own page, or I could create the linkage? --- Also want to be careful not to go crazy with linkages in general.
 * There is a "molecular motor" wikipage as well- so I'll need to look into this too. Start class.
 * Also, the author says, "the best example of a motor protein is the muscle protein myosin which "motors" the contraction of muscle fibers . . ." Why is this the best? I think this sentence is bias and doesn't really match the content of anything. Especially considering the only graphic included is Kinesin- and that same graphic is shown in the "Molecular Motor" page. I think the comment is unnecessary.
 * The article itself is not bad; I think the writer did a great job. I like the general layout and that it's easy to understand, but I think there is room for improvement. Even if only illustrations. I'm still learning, so I think it's possible that I'm wrong in my perceptions of "improvements"- though pictures usually help anyone. At this point I'm confused about the "genomic representations" of the microtubule and actin motors. So, there's still more to be discovered on what they're talking about. But, should it be more obvious??
 * Sources:  First, I will look into the Ron Vale "Molecular Motor Proteins" video from iBiology and the sources there as a start- though these might be older than preferred. But for me, the illustrations and the explanation was helpful. I think the Protein Data Bank may be a good source too- will look into that.
