Proposed edits of this page

Hello Wikipedia users,

I plan to develop the chemical specificity page with the following edits in the near future and would appreciate any feedback or concerns.

The primary changes entail:

1) A section regarding the sources responsible for chemical specificity. This includes a description of how electrostatic and hydrophobic effects often play an integral role in how attraction occurs between two molecules. Shape complementarity is also crucial for chemical specificity. Text on how these attractive forces along with shape complementary combine to tremendously affect chemical specificity will be discussed.

2) The different types of categorizations that fit under the general umbrella of chemical specificity.

• absolute specificity
• group specificity
• linkage specificity
• stereochemical specificity

3) The importance of chemical specificity

There are various areas in which chemical specificity is necessary.

I am planning to split these section off until two sections: its importance in relation to biological function processes such as hemoglobin and its importance in releasing oxygen throughout the body, as well as importance in relation to research techniques and advances such as immunostaining. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Davidho3 (talk • contribs) 06:37, 5 May 2016 (UTC)

External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Chemical specificity. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20160508134528/http://osp.mans.edu.eg/medbiochem_mi/Cources/Biochemistry/1st_year_medicine/Enzymes/files/Lecture_02.pdf to http://osp.mans.edu.eg/medbiochem_mi/Cources/Biochemistry/1st_year_medicine/Enzymes/files/Lecture_02.pdf

When you have finished reviewing my changes, you may follow the instructions on the template below to fix any issues with the URLs.

Specificity - Selectivity

A differentiation between specificity and selectivity would be helpful. Unfortunately I coudn't find any good sources for that yet, it seems like those two terms are mostly used interchangeably.
