Talk:Farnesyl pyrophosphate

various problems

Summary box - the structure shows the anion but the formula is for the uncharged acid (farnesyl-OPO(OH)OPO(OH)2). Dolichol does not transport proteins; it carries carbohydrate chains (which are used to N-glycosylate proteins in the ER). Biosynthesis - The structures of geranyl pyrophosphate and farnesyl pyrophosphate are both missing an oxygen atom (between the P atoms in the pyrophosphate). 69.72.92.164 (talk) 03:56, 26 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I only found the trianion form on other web pages, so I suggest to change to formula to [C₁₅H₂₅O₇P₂]^3-.

I removed the statement on statin induced myopathy. There is no formal proof tht statins induce CoQ deficiency in muscle. Severe CoQ deficiency due to mutations in genes required for CoQ biosynthesis is NOT associated with rhabdomyolysis — Preceding unsigned comment added by 147.162.241.198 (talk) 13:40, 6 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]
