Error in the Structure[edit]

There is a error in the structure. There must be an additional carbon atom in the chain. Just compare it with the Structure of l-lysine.128.176.221.3 (talk) 14:40, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have now corrected in the image. Thanks for catching the error and reporting it here. -- Ed (Edgar181) 14:58, 9 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, I believe the image misrepresents the polylysine structure - sidechain is depicted as part of the polymer backbone. Image should be rotated 90 degrees ccw and the backbone indicating dashed arrows should be drawn from amine and carbonyl groups. See eg. Chemblink --Bitic (talk) 10:13, 6 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, the image should be corrected according to the entry from 10:13, 6 August 2010 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.188.120.86 (talk) The structure is correct, as the compound described here is epsilon-poly-lysine where the amide bond is formed by the alpha-carboxyl and the epsilon-amino group. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.94.44.220 (talk) 15:22, 11 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

α-Polylysine[edit]

Since the α variant is also mentioned at the tissue culture section, should it not also be described in the lede and other relevant sections? Also maybe with an additional structure image? Currently, it all seems to be focused primarily at the epsilon variant. HyperGaruda (talk) 09:42, 30 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]
