Welcome to Proteopedia! We hope you will contribute much and well. You will probably want to watch the narrated video guide and use the help pages for later reference. Again, welcome and have fun! Eran Hodis 14:14, 6 February 2009 (IST)

MorphsMorphs

Hi Ralf,

Eventually you might want to consider adding morphs to give the idea of the conformational changes in the transport proteins between their open and closed states. An example can be found on the Proton Channels page that Eric Martz created. The morph itself does not represent the actual motion between the two states -- open and closed -- but rather is a linear interpolation (in most morphs) between the starting structure and the ending structure.

Yes, actually, I chose my first protein after I had a good look at the Yale gallery what they had. I'm aware of the scarcity of structures. Thanks. --Ralf Stephan 18:41, 6 February 2009 (IST)

Wikipedia link to MetalloproteasesWikipedia link to Metalloproteases

In regards to a Wikipedia link to the page on metalloproteases, please see Proteopedia:Policy#Links_to_Wikipedia. You're welcome to help shape this policy, but our current thinking is that if the link is to a page that could benefit from 3D images, then we should link to the page in Proteopedia (even if it doesn't exist, to encourage creation), and that page can then link to Wikipedia. --Eran Hodis 12:34, 8 February 2009 (IST)

No, you're right, the german language entry is much better. I'll translate it for Proteopedia. --Ralf Stephan 12:36, 8 February 2009 (IST)
