Peer Review

[edit]

Hi Ruwan! These are my reactions to your article, what I think you did really well, and what I think you could potentially improve:

What you did well: I was extremely impressed with how scientific and legitimate your article read. I learned a lot about what the sequential model is while reading it, and I thought overall it was a very good article. The introduction is short and concise, but it gets across what the rest of the article is about. The overview is the first place in which you understand why the page has been created, including the reason why a KNF model is called a KNF model. Personally, I think that KNF is not really necessary to mention at all and you would be better of sticking to just induced fit the whole time, as once we do find out what KNF stands for, it reveals nothing about the name. The history section is informative, and explains what the MWC model is in brief. I think that the section describing the MWC model is very important and well explained. I liked how you broke up the rules of KNF binding and the fundamental assumptions that were linked to it, that was probably the best part of the article.

Where I thought there was room for improvement: You may want to go a little deeper with the introduction, perhaps even combine it with your overview section, as I thought the introduction was supposed to be an overview. It mentions KNF model, but when you click the link for KNF, it brings you to the page for induced fit model, which is a little bit confusing when you're first reading over the introduction. It might be a good idea to distinguish between this model and the other MWC model in the introduction, as it seems during the article that there really wouldn't be a need for this article without the two theories contradicting one another. Also, I think it would be helpful if you talked a little bit more about hemoglobin, and the biological significance of the alternating states (between T and R). Why is there a need for this model at all in the first place?

The most important thing to fix: I think that combining overview with your one sentence intro would be the most important change you could make.

Applied to my own article: I hope that I can emulate your scientific language into my own article, it really sounds legitimate, and I did not see any grammatical errors while editing. A job really well done!

Best, Jacob Shalkevich
