[edit] Catalysis section

It would be good to have a section on catalysis. Any volunteers? Alexbateman 16:43, 14 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm on it (gradually). Wgscott 17:37, 17 June 2007 (UTC)

Great work Wgscott!

[edit] Species distribution

Is this in the right place? It looks a bit thin now compared to Wgscott contributions. Perhaps it needs to be put in a table instead. Alexbateman 08:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Sequence alignment

It would be good to add a multiple sequence alignment to highlight the most conserved sequence motifs. This could go in the Primary and secondary structure section. Alexbateman 08:31, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

Please, add it.


This is still a work in progress. I still have to work on the figure labels and captions (including the fist figure -- I was trying to figure out the various pre-formatted boxes) and I have a bunch of references and links that must still be added. A whole section on open problems is unwritten, and the whole thing could benefit from some editing. I just wanted to get some stuff in place, and will continue work when I return to town (about a week). Wgscott 15:08, 18 June 2007 (UTC)

OK I'll work out how to get a good format sequence alignment figure done. When you come to add in references you'll find this tool an invaluable time saver: http://diberri.dyndns.org/wikipedia/templates/?type=pmid&id=17452784&extended=1&add_param_space=1&add_ref_tag=1

I've done a zero-th order merge of the other hammerhead sequence pages of yours, but I would love to have you improve it. Wgscott 03:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

OK I've had a go at merging these in. Alexbateman 12:49, 25 June 2007 (UTC)

Also, I've used a bogus tax box for the first image, but if you (we) could make a new type along the lines of what you have for the sequence, it would be great. Wgscott 03:00, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
