Welcome
Thermodynamic feasibility of converting creatine to phosphocreatineI got this doubt reading the 25th edition Harper's Biochemistry (the latest is the 26th edition), which I couldn't get resolved even after searching on the internet including Wikipedia. There is a mitochondrial creatine kinase (miCK) present between the inner & outer mitochondrial membranes, which phosphorylates creatine to phosphocreatine at the cost of an ATP molecule (ATP-->ADP), which is exported out the mitochondrion through the pore protein 'P' (pages 147-148). What is the need for such an enzyme if any way cytosolic creatine kinase can carry out the same reaction? My guess, is that it must be faster to transport phosphocreatine out of the mitochondrion than ATP, but I do not know for sure (as such a thing is not WRITTEN in the text); then, once in the cytosol, the phosphocreatine must be getting converted back to creatine, phosphorylating ADP to ATP in the process. But, an even bigger doubt is how id the reaction creatine-->phosphocreatine (requiring 43.1 kJ/mol) thermodynamically feasible if ATP-->ADP releases only 30.5 kJ/mol (page 126; table 12-1)? Looking forward to replies--answers/guesses/just about anything. KC Panchal 10:16, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

STBotI (talk) 07:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC) You're very welcome! After reviewing your reply I see your point that there is a lack of information that could be placed in an infobox, so yes, withdraw that point! ;) I see you added polyclonal response to the immunology list, thanks for that. I conducted a minor edit to fix a minor error. As per Significance, include the uncited claims anyway but place a Citation Needed notice next to it by using the fact template. This can be replaced when sufficient evidence is found. Don't worry to much about being repetitive, others can fix that for you. Happy editing!

Hi back,Just had a quick look at your reply...sounds good. I will look at the article again ASAP - should be within 24 hours. Chzz (talk) 14:46, 6 May 2008 (UTC) Update: have just pasted further comments Chzz (talk) 18:13, 6 May 2008 (UTC) GA reviewJust a quick note: Yes, you can nominate "your own" articles for GA status. However, I wouldn't do that just yet with Polyclonal response. We're making good progress with including information that's intelligible to non-scientists, and we need to continue that effort. It would also be worth reviewing the Wikipedia:Good article criteria in advance. Once you've dealt with the specific issues on the talk page, you can use the criteria as a sort of checklist. For example, compliance with six named sections of the Manual of Style is required, and we can take them in turn: Is the introduction compliant? Does the layout follow the usual system? (etc.). Once everyone agrees that we're in good shape (and fixes whatever needs fixing), then one of us should nominate it for GA. Based on my recent experience, the GA reviewers should be assumed to know absolutely nothing about the general field, much less the specific topic, and to apply rather more stringent requirements than the criteria actually state. Consequently, I think we want the article to be in very good order before nominating it. WhatamIdoing (talk) 21:34, 6 May 2008 (UTC) Thanks for the guidanceI don't mind trying making the article worthy of being understood by those with no prior understanding of the topic. What other specific deficiencies do you see apart from the fact that the article does not have six named sections? Ok. Well, I have already nominated the article. Do you suggest taking the nomination back? On the latest front, am uploading another image for linear epitopes. Please do make frequent "rounds" of this article. You have been quite supportive. Thanks again. How many reviewers can be expected to give their vote? Are they voluntary users or somehow nominated users? In what kind of time frame is the decision reached? Regards.

...particularly in regard to jargon words. The target audience has to include the 'man on the street' (like myself),as well as experts in the field. I firmly believe that ANY subject, no matter how complex, CAN be made both interesting, accurate and clear. Thoughts? Chzz (talk) 00:16, 7 May 2008 (UTC) Reply to "third" look by ChzzHello! Thanks for your comment on the image. I almost redid it, and somehow took much longer than I'd thought. I'm sorry I asked you something personal. Or course, you have all the liberty to stay anonymous. Hope the question didn't offend you. I didn't get you--does the article comply or not comply with the above areas (lead, layout, 'words to avoid' and jargon) according to you? I'm including here a pertinent part of my reply to whatamIdoing:
So, I pose the same doubt before you--do I try to explain all the terms in the article, which no doubt, will greatly expand the article, making it very lengthy. I have another request, do you mind going through another article that I started--clone (cell biology). But, I can assure you right at the outset that you're going to "hate" the picture used!

I have just rewritten an article, and I would very much appreciate it if you had the time to have a look at it. Nothing to do with your field at all...but sometimes that's a good thing! It's about a small town in England. The article is Eastwood, Nottinghamshire The peer review is Wikipedia:Peer review/Eastwood, Nottinghamshire/archive1 If you have the time for a quick look, I'd appreciate it.

RE: CitationsYes, this is a common problem. It can be solved by giving your reference a name. For example, i'll use a commonly used eMedicine citation: <ref name="emedicine">{{cite web | last = Scheinfeld | first = Noah S | title = Hypereosinophilic Syndrome | url=http://www.emedicine.com/med/topic1076.htm | accessdate = 2008-02-15 }}</ref> To use the same citation again simply use: <ref name="emedicine"/> Hope this helps. Regards, CycloneNimrodTalk? 15:14, 12 May 2008 (UTC) Oh, I forgot to link you to a help page too. Here it is: Citing sources - How to cite sources Unavailable!I'll be out of town and not accessing the net, so unfortunately will be unavailable to reply to any comments for a week. I know I have made some sweeping, unconventional changes like including a glossary in the article polyclonal response.

A clarification"Welcome to Wikipedia. The recent edit you made to Etiquette of Indian dining has been reverted, as it appears to be unconstructive. Use the sandbox for testing; if you believe the edit was constructive, ensure that you provide an informative edit summary. You may also wish to read the introduction to editing. Thanks. Excirial (Talk,Contribs) 10:53, 30 May 2008 (UTC)" Thanks for the welcome. But, am not very new to Wikipedia. As the case is, I have indeed provided an edit summary: "→Right hand: added the "[citation needed]" template and a hidden comment". You can verify this at [1]. Moreover, in the hidden comment I have provided the complete reasoning for my action that is adding the hidden comment. Regarding the {{fact}} template it is pretty evident (at least, so do I feel) that such a statement requires to be backed by a reference. Being an Indian I've never really heard of such an explanation. It's not just the food, but even in many other aspects like social ceremonies, the right hand is considered the "auspicious" hand. Likewise, I have also discussed some issues in the talk page of the article. So, I'd be glad if I'd be told more precisely how my actions have been deemed "unconstructive". Thanks for being watchful even of a relatively neglected article. Regards. —KetanPanchaltaLK 11:09, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
PolyclonalHi KC, Just wanted to let you know that I'm mostly back -- real life promises to calm down RSN (real soon now) and am s-l-o-w-l-y catching up with what I missed during the last ten days. I made a few minor changes at Polyclonal response today and will look at it again in another day or two. I missed lots of work there, so there's much review to be done. WhatamIdoing (talk) 20:42, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Can you shoot yourself in the head twice?Why are you throwing WP:Point around in regard to this Reference Desk question?

SpinningSpark 22:22, 31 May 2008 (UTC) Polyclonal responseHi, A personal matter has come up, and I won't be able to invest much time into Wikipedia over the next 2-3 weeks. That means that I won't be able to offer a detailed review of the Polyclonal response article. So, I want to offer to you the comments that I've drafted so far. Aside from the suggestions I've posted at Talk:Polyclonal response/GA2, I would like to suggest three other changes:

I'll have another look at polyclonal response too. Regards, CycloneNimrod talk?contribs? 10:35, 7 June 2008 (UTC)
