Hey Patty, any thoughts on an article for our project? I was looking at some of our options and thinking that maybe an article that is really basic, with little more than a few sentences would be best. Here are a few I'd though had potential. Let me know what you think.

 * 1) Restriction site
 * 2) adenosine diphosphate
 * 3) artificial transcription factor
 * 4) Dephosphorylation
 * 5) DNAc/DNAh/DNAn/DNAx
 * 6) oskar


 * Hey John,
 * I was thinking the exact same thing! That's one of the reasons I chose the adenosine diphosphate article to make my remarks on for the Unit 5 assignment.
 * If you have any particular preferance for one of those, I'm fine with that. Otherwise I'm good with the ADP one, and I'll check the rest on your list of potentials today and let you know if any of those jump out at me.

 * Perfect, let's just pull the trigger on the ADP article, I think that would be a good one to take on. Jengel11 (talk) 20:12, 4 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Sounds great. Did the class figure out how to tag articles as taken by a particular group yet?? If you know how, go ahead and put us as having claimed that article! I've been out of town for a few days, so I haven't seen if that issue had been solved in class.  Let me know! 159.83.168.254 (talk) 21:19, 4 March 2013 (UTC)

 * Nevermind, I figured it out and took care of that for us! PJCollettJHU (talk) 21:27, 4 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks for taking care of that! I added a new section to our group page "article selection rational" for us to comment on. I wrote a quick blurb with some things i thought were important. Feel free to add to the section or edit what I wrote in any way. Hope your week is going well! Jengel11 (talk) 22:09, 6 March 2013 (UTC)


 * Thanks, John! I did notice that you added that section. I'm at work right now but will take a closer look later and see what else I can add since I think the assignment for the article rationale requires it to be over 200 words.  I've had an exciting and stressful week wrapped into one! Hope you're having a good week too!PJCollettJHU (talk) 22:15, 6 March 2013 (UTC)

Unit 7
Do some initial work on your article:
 * Pick one of your team members' sandboxes in which to work ... it does not matter which.
 * As a team, begin to research the topic of the article, identify key points that should be in the Wikipedia article for this topic. Discuss this on your group talk page.
 * Move the list of references found in Unit 5 from your group page to the working sandbox page.
 * Find more high-quality references, and add them to a list. As you add them, it would probably be a good idea to skim them over and, for your teammate's benefit, add a few bullet points explaining what useful material the reference contains.
 * Search for any suitably-licensed images that you can add. If you find some, create a list for these on the working sandbox page, and add them to it.
 * As a team, prepare a preliminary outline for the article, and write that in a new section of the working sandbox page.
 * Add your ideas for how you would like to improve the article to the talk page of the article. This will open communication between your group and other wiki editors who are interested in improving the article.

I don't understand if we're supposed to work on here, on one of our sandboxes, or on both, so I've moved this list to both this page and to my sandbox so that we have it both places. — Preceding unsigned comment added by PJCollettJHU (talk • contribs) 00:19, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * It looks like we're supposed to work in three places; on our group talk page for key points and references, on one of our sandbox pages (yours) licensed images and a preliminary outline, and on our article talk page begin a list of improvements. Tonight I'm going to try for a few key points and references on our group page (here). If I have time I'll see if I can find some images. With this quiz tomorrow I'm a little stressed about the amount of things we need to get done. I bet you're feeling much the same way. We can handle it though! If it were easy, everyone would do it! (team motivation for the night!) Jengel11 (talk) 23:36, 12 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I think the "list of improvements" for our article talk page we may be able to just copy and slightly modify the list of key points from below. Once we'er happy with the list that is. Jengel11 (talk) 02:16, 13 March 2013 (UTC)


 * I'm with you, the quiz this week was absolutely added stress! As were some things in my personal life. Oye! This wiki assignment is starting to intimidate me more and more each week! Thanks for the list of key points here, I had a lot come up between the day I started this post and when I was able to take the quiz.  It looks like we have a lot of work ahead of us for units 8-9; time to buckle down and start putting our writing and researching caps on!! PJCollettJHU (talk) 22:40, 15 March 2013 (UTC)


 * List of Key points and references for each


 * We need an opening paragraphing giving quick high level information
 * A section on the structure of the molecule. Already some good information here but could use a reference or two.
 * A section on cellular respiration with subsections on glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and Oxidative phosphorylation (pictures exist on these pages that we can use.)


 * Role in ATP synthase complex (maybe a larger section here, this seems pretty important) p. 729 in principles of biochem book. (Lehninger)
 * Indented line
 * Indented line
 * Indented line


 * Binding change model for ATP synthase (lehninger p. 729)
 * ADP-ribose as secondary messenger cyclic ADP-ribose


 * Sections already on the page Thrombus formation subsection endothelial-ADPase

 * Single nucleotide reactions (already on the page) and RNA world hypothesis
