Should clinical significance section contain link to page with said diseases or list of diseases? Vokesk (talk) 21:28, 9 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

amyelogenin

The only spelling used for this word appears to stem from this article. Should the wiki page say amelogenin? Why do corn have a gene for enamel? Vokesk (talk) 21:44, 9 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Hi, I am planning on editing this page as part of an educational assignment. Dna 621 (talk) 16:04, 10 March 2014 (UTC)Reply

Minor edit suggestion: In the section about therapeutic proteins, we list well known N-glycoprotein antibodies. However, etanercept is not really an antibody, rather it is a hybrid antibody-like construct. I would suggest either deleting or specifying precisely what it is. Furthermore, we have two members with the same target (etanercept and infliximab both target TNF-alpha), perhaps another representative like Herceptin/trastuzumab or something similar might be more suitable? I didn't want to edit in case someone had strong views here. (Carba (talk) 16:53, 10 August 2016 (UTC))Reply

First sentence fixed

edit

I fixed the first sentence which was definitely necessary, to say the least. I kept the "glycan", even though I think it's borderline wrong. A glycan refers to a polysaccharide-portion, i.e. a carbohydrate-portion composed of many monosaccharides - in contrast to an oligosaccharide, which consists of only a few monosaccharides. This distiction is a good thing, right? But anyways, I found that, alas, meanwhile, the term "glycan" can also be used for an oligosaccharide-portion - as I said, I don't understand why, but what can I do.

Under no circumstances, however, was "glycan" used correctly in sentense before my correction.

In response to this edit, what is the function of the clause 'studied in biochemistry' in the first sentence? I cannot seem to link the multi-clausal sentence together into a coherent sentence. I vouch for removing the 'studied in biochemistry' from the first sentence, or a restructuring of the first sentence to make it more cohesive. (P.S I hope that I have formatted this response appropriately).
