Welcome to the Metabolic Pathways taskforce of WikiProject Molecular Biology.
If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the talkpage of WikiProject Molecular Biology, the centralized point for discussion, thank you.

Scope

This

metabolic pathways
on Wikipedia. The
metabolic pathways
.

A list of Metabolic Pathways taskforce members (along with some of their interests) is maintained under the WikiProject Molecular Biology page. To join, simply add yourself at that page and indicate your interests or have a look at the How you can help section below. Although this taskforce is currently considered inactive, it can always be reactivated if there are interested participants!

Goals

Create and perfect articles on metabolic pathways and other related articles, with particular focus on making individual articles on individual metabolic pathway components accessible. The perfect article is complete, but accessible to a secondary school student.

Create a standard system for presenting the information about the enzymes and compounds that are discussed in metabolic pathway related Wikipedia articles.

How you can help

Improve articles

  • The
    pathway of the month page
    contains a list of the pages related to the current pathway of interest.
  • Upgrade the infoboxes in chemical and enzyme articles.
  • Improve enzyme images. This can be done using the raw structural data from the Protein Data Bank, the contents of which are in the public domain. Please look at
    discussion
    about how to standardize the depiction of proteins.

Categorize the many metabolic pathway related articles

  • Mark metabolic pathway related stubs with the {{metabolism-stub}} stub marker.
  • Categorize enzyme and chemical articles by adding them to the appropriate metabolic pathway groups.
  • Make sure that all articles about enzymes are placed in the proteins category or one of its subcategories.

Discuss

Improve the project itself

  • Improve or create
    reaction templates
    .
  • Improve or create metabolic pathway
    navigation templates
    .
  • Help to develop the Molecular and Cellular Biology
    protein infobox templates
    .
  • Assist in public relations and outreach by recruiting editors interested in biochemistry to contribute to Wikipedia.
