Glutamate having two carboxyls
[edit]
ResolvedReverted https://wiki.riteme.site/w/index.php?title=Glutathione&type=revision&diff=1054555623&oldid=1050207757. It's a good question (I don't know the topic well enough to know what the answer is) but the edit shouldn't have been made on the page itself; it should have been raised on the talk page.
Anyway, I doubt the author of that change I just reverted is paying attention to the talk page, but if so, glutamate does have two carboxyls but it may be that only one of the carboxyls is actually capable of attaching to cysteine? No idea but either way if the sentence needs to be modified in that way then I favor the "between a carboxyl group" wording.
TL;DR: I reverted the change because it's basically well-intentioned vandalism so to speak, but they might have an actual point on the question that was raised. But again I don't know much chemistry etc so I'm not equipped to say whether the sentence as it stands now ("between THE carboxyl group") is accurate or if the wording needs to be amended. So I'm re-raising that community member's question here, in a more appropriate venue, if anyone has an answer one way or the other. RyanSKemper (talk) 19:59, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
- Thanks RyanSKemper. The sentence is fine as is. Glutamate does indeed have two carboxyls but only one is on the side chain. Adrian J. Hunter(talk•contribs) 08:00, 30 December 2021 (UTC)
References to skin whitening and injectable administration are plain dangerous
[edit]The suggestion given in references ( www.royalclinicdubai.com on dermatological use for skin whitening using an injectable administration route are plain dangerous. And, beside the obvious self-serving marketing, the verbiage, rationale and the examples are inaccurate, taken out of the context or or plainly manipulated.
