Talk:Threonine

Is it just me, or is the picture of threonine wrong? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.178.44.170 (talk) 18:28, 17 November 2010 (UTC)

Looks correct compared to https://pubchem.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/compound/L-threonine#section=3D-Conformer. There are implicit hydrogen atoms however. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skeletal_formula#Implicit_carbon_and_hydrogen_atoms 137.132.214.45 (talk) 18:59, 27 February 2022 (UTC)

Would someone please add the health implications of this as an essential amino acid

Would someone please add the health implications of this as an essential amino acid Example....Threonine supports cardiovascular, liver, central nervous, and immune system function, collagen production, digestion of fats, production of anitbodies and is helpful in treating some forms of depression.... Thank you

Great idea, but recall that it is tricky to include a lot of advicey stuff that a certain amino acid is important in the central nervous system (probably all 20 amino acids are involved - right?). Also much of the advicey information is often planted by suppliers of nutritional supplements, so we often encounter conflicts of interest. We are having struggling just to competently describe the raw biochemical facts: biosynthesis, post-translational modifications, catabolism, functional roles in active sites. So I would prioritize that kind of content, at the present stage of evolution of the article.--Smokefoot (talk) 01:41, 1 April 2008 (UTC)

Ball and stick model wrong

Ball and stick model looks like it is missing a hydrogen on one of the oxygen atoms. Coalsoffire (talk) 16:45, 28 February 2023 (UTC)

Yeah, it looks like it's been incorrectly added to the nitrogen atom. Tesco250 (talk) 13:51, 29 April 2023 (UTC)
