[edit] Source of research funding on proton gradients

Someone on the radio mentioned a british researcher who self funded research on proton gradients. --Gbleem 20:11, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

Almost certainly Peter Mitchell who got the nobel prize for proposing the chemiosmotic hypothesis. David D. (Talk) 21:37, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Why all the Bold

There seems to be an overuse of bold font on this page. JohnJohn 06:17, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Those are all the terms that redirect to this page. David D. (Talk) 16:16, 2 February 2006 (UTC)

Okay, is there a better way to represent it? JohnJohn 21:40, 11 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wiki linking?

I found it strange that Electrochemical gradient and Standard electrode potential do not have a common link! Maybe we need to amend the text so that there is appropriate interwikilinking. AshLin 08:55, 23 July 2007 (UTC)

Or just merge the articles Just looked at the article and now I understand what you mean. No harm in adding more text to allow a link. That is the reason for the BeBold philosophy. Most of these articles are only half finished. David D. (Talk) 03:05, 24 July 2007 (UTC)

Actually this article does link to Standard electrode potential, it's hidden in the Chemistry section as piped link (electrode potential), also standard electrochemical potential is bolded in that sentence (not sure why it's bolded?). Part of the problem is there is masses of related terminology on this topic and consequently a large number of redirects to both of these articles:

Redirect to Electrochemical gradient	Redirect to Standard electrode potential
Chemiosmotic potential Ion gradient Proton gradient Proton motive force Hydrogen gradient Electrochemical gradients Electrochemical ion gradient	Electrode potential Reversible potential Reversible potential Reversible potential difference of an electrode Standard potential Formal potential Standard reduction potentials Electrochemical series Electromotive series Electrode potentials Replacement series

Anyway, the chemistry section could definitely be expanded. David D. (Talk) 03:29, 24 July 2007 (UTC)
