What exactly is "rescrcin"?

The only word close to "rescrcin" I could find is "rescin". Some synonyms where given online (http://chemical.exactantigen.com/r/rescin.html)

synonym: rescitens; apoterin; normorescina; moderil; tenamine; resipal; cinamine; recitensina; cinnaloid; rescinnamin; rescinnamine; apolon; anaprel; reserpinin; rescidan; rescaloid; resealoid; rescinpal; cinatabs; reserpinene; reskinnamin; paresinan; anapral; cartric; tuareg; recinnamine; reserpinine; scinnamina; raurescine; rescamin; cinnasil; raupyrol; rescisan; raurescin

Can someone confirm that this is a typo and the correct word is "rescin"? My knowledge of particular enzymes is near absent. --Enigma 07:10, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

Possibly should be resorcin, Searching for resorcin and bromelain gives 365 hits whereas rescin and bromelain gives none. I have no (bio)chemical knowledge to evaluates the hits however Mwp 21:28, 6 March 2006 (UTC)

• Problem, though - resorcin isn't an enzyme, it's a disubstituted benzene. DS 02:08, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

I simply took it out for now, until we know more. --Enigma 00:10, 10 March 2006 (UTC)

rescin and its synonyms are drug/chemical names. They are not related to enzymes. http://redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca/drugbank/cgi-bin/getCard.cgi?CARD=APRD00112.txt --User:Hx

[edit] Activity

This page does not discuss the proteolytic activity of the major enzymes in bromelain or the optimal enzymatic conditions. Is it an acid protease, neutral protease, basic protease, does it need cofactors, etc. Article is kind of weak, scientifically.Pdeitiker 16:28, 8 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Finger prints

On episode 7 of series 5 of QI, they said that this substance will remove fingerprints from the finger. Is this true? -OOPSIE- (talk) 05:15, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Predictive statements

I included the advert template because of the last sentence about Debrase® Gel Dressing: "Once the treatment is approved, it will be helping millions of patients world-wide." I feel like it presumes approval and a subsequent assistance to millions of people. I think that the sentence would benefit from being worded less assertively (ie. If approved, there are millions of patients world-wide that could benefit from this drug.) --Stiggs64 (talk) 02:13, 20 March 2008 (UTC)
