Is there Viruses_WikiProject?
Do you know? Or Microbiology_WikiProject? -- Boris 19:30, 1 February 2006 (UTC)

i dont know im afraid...

abbreviations
Hi. Can I give some advice; it's better to state the full term first, then put the acronyms in parentheses, not the other way round. This way, it's much more professional. Elle vécut heureuse à jamais  (Be eudaimonic!) 20:44, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

Bacteriophage Lambda
That's a nice "bacteriophage lambda genome" diagram you put up. Unfortunately, there's at least one error: on the inset, you have the sequence of the OR subsites reversed. It should go OR3-OR2-OR1 if PRM is on the left and PR on the right. John Sheu 22:29, 16 April 2006 (UTC)


 * Ill check it against my notes.... Zephyris 00:08 19 April 2006 (GMT)
 * i have made a mistake, and it will get corrected at some point, just need ot find the original file... Zephyris 21:15, 6 August 2006 (UTC)

histones page
where did the nice histones structure and organization picture you added on the histones page come from (ref.)?

Thanks for your edits

 * I love the look of the output from the reaction templates Wikiproject Metabolic Pathways. --JWSchmidt 15:51, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Articles you might like to edit, from SuggestBot
SuggestBot predicts that you will enjoy editing some of these articles. Have fun!

SuggestBot picks articles in a number of ways based on other articles you've edited, including straight text similarity, following wikilinks, and matching your editing patterns against those of other Wikipedians. It tries to recommend only articles that other Wikipedians have marked as needing work. Your contributions make Wikipedia better -- thanks for helping.

If you have feedback on how to make SuggestBot better, please tell me on SuggestBot's talk page. Thanks from ForteTuba, SuggestBot's caretaker.

P.S. You received these suggestions because your name was listed on the SuggestBot request page. If this was in error, sorry about the confusion. -- SuggestBot 03:19, 7 August 2006 (UTC)

Parser function
Thanks for the suggestion. The protbox was already created using the parser function capability. A description of its usage can be found at: WikiProject Molecular and Cellular Biology/protbox usage, while the template can be found at: Template:Protbox. if you have experience using parser functions and creating templates, and you have any suggestions for modifications your help is welcomed. Thanks again. GAThrawn22 00:16, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

Wikipedia:Wikiproject Metabolic Pathways
Wow! I really, like metabolic pathwaty templates. It's a great way to standardize reaction pathways here on wikipedia. Great job. Keep it up. GAThrawn22 15:59, 12 August 2006 (UTC)

FA nomination for Enzyme
Hi there. I nominated Enzyme for Featured Article a while ago but am not getting many responses. Could you have a look and tell me what you think? Thanks for your time. TimVickers 04:30, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Imaging Program
Hi Zephyris. I noticed that you have very nice diagrams for molecular structures, like the ones you use in your templates and I would like to know what you use to make them. Thanks. GAThrawn22 00:06, 29 September 2006 (UTC)

Translation images


Your two translation images (above) are great and very detailed. I noticed you have released them under the GPL, but I wanted to use them in the introduction for my dissertation (with proper credit of course). And I have some questions: (1) Is this okay with you? (2) Can you provide vector graphics for these images (svg or eps or anything else)? (3) Is there a published paper of yours I can site? or should I just cite your name and wiki id. --130.132.62.78 18:45, 3 October 2006 (UTC)

Thankyou for request on use of my images, unfortunately I only have your IP address as any record of who you are! Hopefully you get this.

I believe the gpl allows all non commercial use, so long as its gpl status is mentioned, and any adaptions are released under the gpl. At least, thats how I intended to release these! I also feel it would be most appropriate to reference these from wikipedia with a link and my username as the creator, as this is the original and only place they have been published. I might be able to provide a svg/etc. file if I can find the original, to be honest these didnt take long for me to make so I didnt keep good record of what happened to the originals. Do bear in mind that these diagrams are coming from a potentially unreliable source, so I would independantly check them and mention that you have done so. Zephyris 13:48, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

Sorry, I didn't realize I wasn't logged in. I've checked them an there are some simplifications (eIF4, for example is actually 5 proteins). I intend to release my dissertation under the GDFL, so shouldn't be a problem. The reference, I used for this stuff:


 * O. Nygard and L. Nilsson (1990). "Translation dynamics: Interactions between the translational factors, tRNA and ribosomes during eukaryotic protein synthesis." Eur J Biochem v191 pp 1-17.

I know the prok's is correct; the euk's are still getting figured out, but I'll double check it. Anyway, thanks for the info. I am using it in my introduction of the differences between eukaryotic and prokaryotic ribosomes.

One more vote for the coordinator of the Molecular and Cellular Biology Wikiproject
Since two of the three editors nominated for Coordinator of the MCB Wikiproject declined their nominations, one more vote has been posted: should the remaining nominee, ClockworkSoul, be named as the coordinator, or should nominations be reopened? Every opinion counts, so please vote! – ClockworkSoul 17:55, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

Plugging away alone?
Your metabolic pathway project is looking pretty good. i have been following it with half an eye. I'll help out where possible and be happy to give a second opinion etc. I have worked a bit on the glycolysis and TCA cycle pages and their metabolites. Your project will be a great way to tie these and other pathways together. More to the point, it will be nice to have a standard so the pages will be easier to navigate in the future. Nice work.

The project page looks great! I'm glad to see my layout is catching on. :) – ClockworkSoul 05:43, 6 November 2006 (UTC)
