Talk:Phosphocholine

Latest comment: 4 months ago by Klbrain in topic Merge proposal

Phosphocholine structure is wrong. An oxygen bonding to P is missing.

Fixed now. Thanks for catching the error. --Ed (Edgar181) 20:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)Reply

PC is phosphatidyl choline edit

Most of the EggPC info is for phosphatidylcholine and it should be moved! --kupirijo (talk) 01:47, 17 November 2010 (UTC) Nope, this is a very useful page : it allows people to understand what phosphocholine is, before loosing themselves in the complexities of its esters. I strongly support maintaining this page. (Tony MARCEL, Healthvalue) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.217.100.179 (talk) 09:00, 26 September 2011 (UTC)Reply

Source material and references edit

It should be noted that most of this information is taken directly from the Bionity website, and Bionity is most definitely not an impartial source. Additionally, the fourth reference paper costs $30 to view, and I doubt anyone has paid to check it. From the perspective of a biochemistry student, this page seems a bit sketchy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 212.25.152.230 (talk) 16:24, 12 March 2013 (UTC)Reply

Merge proposal edit

Phosphocholine and phosphorylcholine are the same molecule, a monophosphate choline ester. The contents of the phosphorylcholine article has multiple issues within the context of being a page about a functional group, as it reads like an advertisement for stents. It may be useful to take some of the contents of the introduction and put them in phosphocholine's introduction rather than deleting phosphorylcholine in its entirety.

Oppose as the scope of the articles is different. One is talking about the molecule (phosphocholine) and the other about about the functional group within other larger molecules (phosphorylcholine). So, just as we have articles about phosphate and organophosphate, so too it seems reasonable to keep the existing structure here. Klbrain (talk) 09:05, 2 January 2024 (UTC)Reply
