The text in this stub is plagiarized from "Aminopeptidases: structure and function," by Allen Taylor, in an article from The FASEB Journal 7.2 (1993), pages 290-298. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.78.207.132 (talk) 18:28, 18 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

I've added quotations around the sentences taken from the abstract verbatim. They did have the reference citations behind them, but that is certainly no excuse for this to have happened. I am not knowledgeable enough about this subject to adequately summarize, so I have left a request for assessment with WIkiProject Science for the article as a whole, given the new content just added today, and informed them of the issue needing addressed.

Also not really qualified but I didn't read this talk page so I ended up summarizing it a bit. Hopefully there aren't any errors: I mostly just rephrased what was there. Unless there are more plagiarized parts that weren't quoted the problem should be fixed. In the future you can probably use the \{\{copyvio}} (don't keep the backslashes) template, or just delete the quoted text. Using the template usually someone responds pretty quickly.

Scope is so narrow as to make this stub incorrect

"Aminopeptidase" is an extraordinarily broad class of enzymes: "Any of several enzymes that catalyze the hydrolysis of the peptide bond of the terminal amino acid at the amino end of a polypeptide or protein", according to Wiktionary [1]. These are ubiquitous in the environment ([2] as a trivial example) and surely are not all zinc-dependent.

I'm not enough of a biochemist to even rewrite the stub, and I don't mean to speak ill of the good person who wrote it, but I think definition this stub presents is so narrow as to be basically wrong.
