alpha keto acid

[edit]

Transaminases can also catalyze use beta keto acids as amino acceptors. see also "Biocatalysis as a profound tool in the preparation of highly enantiopure β-amino acids" Tetrahedron Volume 62, Issue 25, 19 June 2006, Pages 5831–5854 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.204.69.182 (talk) 17:44, 14 August 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Proposed merger from Elevated transaminases and AST/ALT ratio

[edit]

I oppose the proposed merge. The subjects are distinct, and of primary interest to distinct audiences. A merge would only worsen the signal-to-noise ratio for most readers. --Arcadian (talk) 21:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can you elaborate on this? IMO adding the sections named 'Pathophysiology' and 'Diagnostic use' would only make the article more comprehensive, which is one of the criteria for a quality article according to WP:FACR. If any of the sections becomes too detailed, we may then split it into a new article. That's at least how it's usually done: "The text of any article consists of a sequence of related but distinct subtopics. When there is enough text in a given subtopic to merit its own article, that text can be summarized in the present article and a link provided to the more detailed article". --Eleassar my talk 08:03, 28 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Complete rewrite needed

[edit]

This is awful! Does the Molecular and Cell Biology task force still exist and did anyone read the article? Is there a Biochemical task force, because transaminases are enzymes and work in the context of metabolism? Socialambulator (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
