User talk:AJclarifies/Protein quaternary structure

I believe the edits you made are the parts in bold... I like them, especially the new lead section (it's a lot better than the current version). I also like the rearrangement you did. Have you added new references yet? Have you decided what your new figure will be? Ae2526 (talk) 02:14, 28 November 2021 (UTC)

Hey again! I don't see any new changes to your article, so I will just say to make sure you add at least 3 references to the Wikipedia page and make your new figure (you probably won't have time to get approval for someone else's figure at this point). I really like the idea of talking about AlphaFold. I think if you do that, it will make your changes more sufficient for the purposes of this project. Let me know if you want me to review anything else before you submit. Ae2526 (talk) 04:05, 7 December 2021 (UTC)

Looking good. I agree with the previous reviewer that the new definition is much improved.

In the introduction.... Maybe changing some proteins function as single units to some proteins are made up of only a single peptide chain, or subunit could help avoid any confusion. Also I feel like a quick list of different bonds or attractions that are involved in the subunit interactions would be helpful. Mostly just because I feel like that is a common quiz or test question that students might search for ;)

The figure idea to help emphasize the difference between homo and hetero-dimers is a great one. Love the idea of adding alphafold, make sure you do that :)

Maybe in preparing for talking about the role of quaternary structure in cell signaling, you could introduce the topic by discussing how proteins can be activated by bringing subunits together or modifying the orientation, or interactions of the quaternary structure.

Overall its looking amazing. :) Good luck with finishing up your project. Good2bheretoday (talk) 06:55, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
