I am the copyright owner of the image I added to the page. I created it using Affinity Designer.

I'd like to put it into the public domain but that problem is probably more complicated to do. I'll read the page you suggest to figure out how to claim copyright the image can be restored. Rhodydog (talk) 01:26, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I read the instructions and did a release using the tool [generated using relgen] where I made the claim "am the creator and/or sole owner of the exclusive copyright of the media work" Is that sufficient? Rhodydog (talk) 01:38, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

? My message was about some prose I removed that was copied from https://vdocuments.site/cb-chapter3.html. I did not remove any images. — Diannaa (talk) 14:36, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Ah yes that makes sense, that is actually my textbook and I own copyright to all the text since I self-publish. You wouldn't have known that. I can reword the text if you like. I assume I can just go back to the history to check what was removed and reedit. Rhodydog (talk) 21:27, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I have updated the text as follows:

Match 1:

"if reversibility is removed as well the equation reduces to the simple irreversible Michaelis-Menten rate law. The equation can also revert to the product inhibited but irreversible rate law by setting the Keq to infinity. "

has been replaced with:

"If the enzyme is irreversible the equation turns into the simple Michaelis-Menten equation that is irreversible. When letting the equilibrium constant tend to infinity, the equation can be seen to revert to the simpler case where the product inhibits the reverse step."

Match 2:

"For an enzyme with

h

(using the author's original notation) binding sites, the general form of the reversible Hill equation is given by:"

has been changed to:

"Using the author's own notation, if an enzyme has

h

sites that can bind ligand, the form, in the general case, can be shown to be:"

Match 3:

"If h=1 the equation reduces to the non-cooperative reversible Michaelis-Menten equation."

has been changed to:

"The non-cooperative reversible Michaelis-Menten equation can be seen to emerge when we set the Hill coefficient to one."

Disambiguation link notification for July 31

October 2023

Hi Rhodydog! I noticed that you recently marked an edit as minor that may not have been. "Minor edit" has a very specific definition on Wikipedia—it refers only to superficial edits that could never be the subject of a dispute, such as typo corrections or reverting obvious vandalism. Any edit that changes the meaning of an article is not a minor edit, even if it only concerns a single word. Please see Help:Minor edit for more information. Thank you. Kj cheetham (talk) 18:55, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for spotting this, I probably was in auto mode and hit minor edit by mistake. Will

be more vigilant in future. Rhodydog (talk) 19:07, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Draft:Draft:Reversible Michaelis-Menten kinetics

Hi, I putter around in drafts sometimes. Draft:Reversible Michaelis-Menten kinetics looks good and I expect it will promoted in due course, but because it's Fancy Science I think it needs a lede paragraph in "explain like I'm five" language. I don't dare attempt it but I find it helps to just couch stuff in very broad terms. "Reversible Michaelis-Menten kinetics are metabolic models using differential equations to study the biochemistry of enzymes." Etc. I have no idea if the foregoing makes a whit of sense just try to use big subject-level words if that makes sense, so someone clicking on the Wikipedia "random" button and landing on the page has some idea what planet they landed on. Thanks for contributing to Wikipedia!!! jengod (talk) 01:28, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the comment, what you say sounds very reasonable. I’ll see what I can do. Rhodydog (talk) 02:29, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just copying what I put it the edit summary: You are obviously an excellent teacher somewhere in the real world! I tweaked it a tiny bit (just for wiki style "ledes" as I understand it -- see Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section) but I think this is valuable for both near-laypeople and advanced scholars. Of course revert or rework my changes see fit, and some other know-it-all will come along later and mess with it some other way LOL but I personally think we'd be lucky to have this article on Wikipedia. TY again. jengod (talk) 22:10, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Looks good, thanks Rhodydog (talk) 22:27, 27 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Hello Rhodydog -- I took a look at this draft; is there a reason why you need to get an AfC review for it? It's very unlikely you will get anyone working there who can improve it at all. If you consider it finished, you could just move it to mainspace. Cheers, Espresso Addict (talk) 04:13, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the advice. I will do that. Rhodydog (talk) 04:30, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Enzyme kinetics

Hello Rhodydog. Each time I look at the Enzyme Kinetics article I am depressed and feel the best thing would be to scrap it completely and start again from the beginning. The problem with that is that I would end up trying to impose my own views, though I realize that there are still lots of people who like the Cleland approach, double-reciprocal plots, even rate-determining steps, etc., and I don't think I can (or should) do that. What do you think? I know from other things that you have written that your views are not 180° away from mine: am I right? Do you think that we just have to grit our teeth and leave the existing mess? Athel cb (talk) 17:55, 3 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Athel cb, yes I agree. One approach is to slowly make the changes. For example, the use double-reciprocal plots is a good example. Also you're no imposing your own views if there are sources to back up the claim. Perhaps start with double-reciprocal plots and once that is settled move to the next rough patch. You could also relegate the old material to a section on historical interest and point to the 'new' more 'modern' approaches. If you want to do this let me know.
