Ca+?

[edit]

Hey, man, an ionophore for Ca+? Where did you ever see Ca+?? I doubt that this exists!

Best regards, Ueli

And likewise Ba+ at the time of this comment. Fixed long ago. DMacks (talk) 04:02, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

antibiotic properties

[edit]

Can anyone add which ones are antibiotic and against what type of bacteria ? Rod57 (talk) 16:52, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Ionophore. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

This new zinc/virus bit

[edit]

It's fairly well-cited, so I don't want to delete it unilaterally - I don't know how true it is, read in a vacuum - but while I know we're supposed to assume good faith, it's hard not to think that the anon who added these did so to further an agenda, so I wanted to see what others' thoughts were, maybe someone familiar with the subject.

I think it's too much. I could support a few sentences about zinc ionophores in general. For example, how about prose (not just bullet-header) about key structural motifs, and the biochemical relevance of zinc ionophores. The cited review articles are a good start. I don't support a laundry-list of in-vitro targets/results at all...too preliminary even if not strictly in scope of WP:MEDRS It seems like there are many such chemicals that are bluelinks, so I think we need to avoid trying to list them all. Maybe instead (as I said before) the key structure-types as supported by secondary-refs, merged into the "List of representative biological ionophores" section?

Agreed. Someone got a hold of this article and twisted the definition. I got distracted from finding a def for ionophore that would allow the article to be revised back toward traditional lines, i.e. crown ethers and some antibiotics. As it stands, anything that binds Zn++ is an ionophore. Seems undue weight.--Smokefoot (talk) 11:54, 19 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]
