Is it really necessary to use the world "prolate" in this introduction? Natisto (talk) 14:15, 16 March 2010 (UTC)

Can anyone give a good reason why the word "moiety" links to "functional group"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 137.229.84.213 (talk) 22:30, 3 October 2007 (UTC)

Because the two terms are used interchangeably in protein chemistry. --Dan|^(talk) 10:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

amphipathic alpha-helix ?

I would like to see a section on amphipathic alpha helices here, as they are an important aspect of protein structure. I don't see exactly how to fit this in to the current structure, however. Also, I think the article should be called Amphipathic, with a redirect from Amphiphile. The latter is much less commonly used. --Dan|^(talk) 10:54, 29 November 2007 (UTC)

Problems with connection to other languages

This page exists in Hebrew (Here), but doesn't include the english Wikipedia page in the "languages" feature, I don't know if there is overlap between any languages that do appear in this feature in said page and this one. גירית דבש שחורה (talk) 21:40, 7 July 2024 (UTC)

Edits

Changed the structure of the introduction section to improve cohesion and reduce redundancy (detergents were mentioned twice originally). Also added two citations.

Lightly edited sentence flow in the example section. Will add a table to summarize the examples.

May add a visual to illustrate the parts of a peptide amphiphile. Cerrato919 (talk) 03:39, 6 April 2026 (UTC)
