Possible vandalizing?
editAt the start of the second paragraph, the word 'Funny' appears to take the place of Casein. Not sure if something's up... 113.197.9.10 (talk) 03:31, 3 March 2021 (UTC) -Newbie editor
- Fixed, thanks. You might be interested in Wikipedia:Cleaning up vandalism. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 11:55, 3 March 2021 (UTC)
Chemistry facts
editI find the article lacks some of the features found in other articles about single-molecule materials (Chemical compounds), such as Methane or Cyanoacrylate. I know this information is available from verifiable public sources. I am not expert in the use of chemistry tags (i.e. chembox) or Wikimedia Commons for molecular diagrams but I can try if no one else will.
missing Facts:
- 2D molecular diagram
- various chemical name(s)
- molecular weight
- changes in phase or viscosity
- stability or degradation (denaturing, lysis) in various environment exposures (temperature, pH, enzyme, catalyst)
- byproducts of destabilization (I'm sure this splits into many smaller and quite interesting molecules particularly significant to nutrition & health).
Sources:
I have reached out to David S Horne to check on other sources and also to verify permission to use the micelle diagram he probably authored that is presently found in this article. Stephen Charles Thompson (talk) 21:13, 25 September 2021 (UTC)
- Remember that casein is a mixture of proteins, not a chemical. There's not going to be a single molecular structure or molecular weight, nor are there (to my knowledge) alternative chemical names. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 01:53, 26 September 2021 (UTC)
- from my limited review of studies it is milk that is a mixture of proteins, casein being one of them. I do see that there are two or three forms of casein, each with their own specific name, with slight variation in an amino acid in the chain. chemistry facts for each could / should be represented.
