I'm suggesting to move this page to N-terminus. The reason for this is that N-terminus is the preferred term in textbooks and scientific literature. I did a PubMed search and came up with the following hits for N-terminus and its variations:

• N-terminus: 16,128 hits
• N-terminal domain: 6,194 hits
• Amino-terminus: 6,167 hits
• NH2-terminus: 1,875 hits
• N-terminal end: 1,016 hits
• N-terminal tail: 309 hits
• Amine-terminus: 21 hits
