Talk:C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate

Perhaps this page should be merged with bactoprenol - I'm not sure how to do this though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.232.251.91 (talk) 14:42, 21 February 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That is possible, however I have to re-echo what Graeme Bartlett said about merging with C-55 isoprenyl pyrophosphate in that it is actually a different molecule. Bactoprenol does in some cases refer to Undecaprenyl phosphate, but in other cases refers to specifically the unphosphorylated molecule. Because of the molecular discrepancy, yet related nature of each molecule, it may be worthwhile to create an article that merges all three together and describing each individual molecule as it relates to the others and the function of each. This article could be named under bactoprenol, as bactoprenol is somewhat a ambiguous name according to the literature. ZS010270 (talk) 17:12, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

To not merge, as these are distinct compounds; error corrected in the text. Klbrain (talk) 18:07, 19 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I believe C55-isoprenyl pyrophosphate is synonymous with C55-undecaprenyl pyrophosphate? Sjodenenator (talk) 02:13, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Maybe, but it is not the same as Undecaprenyl phosphate, so I have remove the text about that from this article. Please don't merge. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:22, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Note also that there are variants depending on cis or trans double bonds. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 03:24, 11 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

They are not synonymous. Don't merge. Ninjatacoshell (talk) 17:42, 6 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
