Talk:Macromolecular assembly

Have added cross-references to this page, for the first seven search hits appearing here:

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?search=Macromolecular+Assembly&title=Special%3ASearch&fulltext=1

and these yet appear in red. I haven't the resources to resolve why these cross-references appear to be broken. Prof. D. Meduban (talk) 22:21, 20 July 2012 (UTC)

Only now found this page and I think that Biomolecular complex page is more-or-less about the same topic. Should "Macromolecular assembly" and "Biomolecular complex" be merged into one article?

I propose to merge Biomolecular complex into Macromolecular assembly. The former is the short article, the latter the more comprehensive. Critically, the short article states in its "See also" section, "Macromolecular assembly: macromolecular assembly in biology is the same as biomacromolecular complex." This is nearly accurate, but not quite—the subset of biomolecular complexes (short article title) that are biomacromolecular complexes, most all of them, are a proper subset of all of the macromolecular assemblies (long article title), an article which will ultimately include non-biological examples—but this statement is close enough to being true that the short article itself argues in favour of its being subsumed. (And, no presented material at the short article needs be excluded/omitted in a merger.) 2601:246:C700:9B0:48A6:82D4:5919:3B87 (talk) 15:21, 9 October 2019 (UTC)

I propose to merge Macromolecular cages into this article. The topics are similar. Wikipedia has many lightly curated articles on this area. See Talk:Supramolecular chemistry#Merge and organization proposals. So, having fewer better articles is probably a good idea. Also [Macromolecular cages]] is a homework project, which are usually weaker.--Smokefoot (talk) 16:13, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

:* Partial merge – The page for macromolecular cages should be better curated to specifically discuss non-biological molecular cages. I could agree that content on biological cages could become a section in Macromolecular assembly, but it would'nt make much sense to include both organic, small cages in the same page as biological macromolecular assemblies. ~~~~ Niashervin (talk) 00:37, 18 April 2025 (UTC)
