Talk:TIMP2

How do I "read" the pretty picture at the top left?

I see nice colours, some thin wires and some thick coiling ribbons, a couple of arrows... how do I interpret it? (I'm a programmer, to give some background to my query) thanks --92.29.230.200 (talk) 23:50, 19 April 2017 (UTC)

That's a protein diagram --Axium Cog (talk) 16:03, 21 April 2017 (UTC)

Err, yes, I got that it's a diagram of a protein, but I was quite specific - what do the colours, thick/thin bits, arrows etc, mean? What links can you suggest to help me understand what these mean? Googling for "protein diagram" didn't show much of apparent relevance. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.75.100.205 (talk) 19:50, 10 May 2017 (UTC)

Aha! It's on wiki as a Ribbon Diagram <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ribbon_diagram> 92.2.140.202 (talk) 21:58, 15 May 2017 (UTC)

Include Reference from new research

As of April 21 2017, Scientific American published an article on research which indicates the TIMP2 is necessary for memory function, and hightened levels actually improves brain function. The article references the journal published in Nature here. Someone who knows how to properly cite and summarize such things, please include this new and potentially groundbreaking information.
