Talk:Tobacco mosaic virus

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

the virus roks looooool

[edit] Source for ACS abstract?

It should be possible to find the ACS abstract the text refers to to verify the existence of this long "word". On the internet I could find lots of references to this word, but no link to the ACS abstract. Could this be an "urban legend"? Also, the word describes only the protein component of the virus. Therefore it's incorrect to say that the word is a "designation for the virus", IMO.--Biologos (talk) 15:30, 28 November 2007 (UTC)

I dunno. I think the fact that, urban legend or not, the word needs to be added to this page, maybe merely because people will be looking for it when they find the TMV page? Pookiyama (talk) 17:04, 19 May 2008 (UTC)

We're talking about the following "word" (I copied it from an old version of the article): acetylseryltyrosylserylisoleucylthreonylserylprolylserylglutaminylphenylalanylvalylphenylalanyl- leucylserylserylvalyltryptophylalanylaspartylprolylisoleucylglutamylleucylleucylasparaginylvalyl- cysteinylthreonylserylserylleucylglycylasparaginylglutaminylphenylalanylglutaminylthreonylglutaminyl- glutaminylalanylarginylthreonylthreonylglutaminylvalylglutaminylglutaminylphenylalanylserylglutaminyl- valyltryptophyllysylprolylphenylalanylprolylglutaminylserylthreonylvalylarginylphenylalanylprolyl- glycylaspartylvalyltyrosyllysylvalyltyrosylarginyltyrosylasparaginylalanylvalylleucylaspartyl- prolylleucylisoleucylthreonylalanylleucylleucylglycylthreonylphenylalanylaspartylthreonylarginyl- asparaginylarginylisoleucylisoleucylglutamylvalylglutamylasparaginylglutaminylglutaminylserylprolyl- threonylthreonylalanylglutamylthreonylleucylaspartylalanylthreonylarginylarginylvalylaspartylaspartyl- alanylthreonylvalylalanylisoleucylarginylserylalanylasparaginylisoleucylasparaginylleucylvalyl- asparaginylglutamylleucylvalylarginylglycylthreonylglycylleucyltyrosylasparaginylglutaminylasparaginyl- threonylphenylalanylglutamylserylmethionylserylglycylleucylvalyltryptophylthreonylserylalanylprolylalanylserine
Again, it is not sourced. --Biologos (talk) 07:59, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
