  • Is it possible they copied the content from us ? Im having a hard time believing a video website would happen to have an article about floppases just sitting around, and no attached video. Soap 01:35, 1 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
  • It is, yes, but unfortunately it's still a copyright problem. Seidos wrote when he created the article, "Basically retyped the information from Biochemistry by Garrett and Grisham", and this is evidently true. The book is viewable here. The article includes such content as:

These proteins reduce the half-time for phospholipid movement across a membrane from days to a few minutes or less. Approximately one ATP is consumed per lipid transported by floppases. Energy dependent lipid flippase activity is essential for the creation and maintenance of transverse lipid asymmetries. A number of diseases have been linked to defects in floppases.

The copying doesn't stop there. The article must be rewritten from scratch. --Moonriddengirl (talk) 20:43, 8 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]
