alpha keto acid edit

Transaminases can also catalyze use beta keto acids as amino acceptors. see also "Biocatalysis as a profound tool in the preparation of highly enantiopure β-amino acids" Tetrahedron Volume 62, Issue 25, 19 June 2006, Pages 5831–5854 — Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.204.69.182 (talk) 17:44, 14 August 2014 (UTC)Reply

The edit

"The biochemical hub of the body, the liver, has a variety of transaminases to synthesize and break down amino acids and to interconvert energy storage molecules." - come again? Please rewrite. 205.228.73.12 10:17, 13 December 2006 (UTC)Reply

Proposed merger from Elevated transaminases and AST/ALT ratio edit

I oppose the proposed merge. The subjects are distinct, and of primary interest to distinct audiences. A merge would only worsen the signal-to-noise ratio for most readers. --Arcadian (talk) 21:44, 27 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Can you elaborate on this? IMO adding the sections named 'Pathophysiology' and 'Diagnostic use' would only make the article more comprehensive, which is one of the criteria for a quality article according to WP:FACR. If any of the sections becomes too detailed, we may then split it into a new article. That's at least how it's usually done: "The text of any article consists of a sequence of related but distinct subtopics. When there is enough text in a given subtopic to merit its own article, that text can be summarized in the present article and a link provided to the more detailed article". --Eleassar my talk 08:03, 28 November 2009 (UTC)Reply

Complete rewrite needed edit

This is awful! Does the Molecular and Cell Biology task force still exist and did anyone read the article? Is there a Biochemical task force, because transaminases are enzymes and work in the context of metabolism? Socialambulator (talk) 18:18, 23 December 2023 (UTC)Reply
