LINKS TO USEFUL WEB-SITES
Biochemistry is a three-dimensional, dynamic subject that is hard to capture in the classroom. When one appreciates these aspects of biochemistry, it is hard to see how anyone could consider biochmistry dull or boring. Nevertheless, the disconnect between the mental images of biochemists and those of many students needs to be bridged. In recent years, many great web-sites have sprung up in support of biochemistry instruction. Please take time to browse and use some of the links listed below to supplement your learning and enhance your appreciation of biochemistry. Also, alert me to good sites that you find that are not linked.
Molecular
Models for Biochemistry at Carnegie Mellon University.
"The linked pages described here have
tutorials and quizzes that are based on Chime and
RasMol
images of the molecules and macromolecules found in biochemistry. They
are
intended
to complement standard biochemistry texts where more explanation is
provided,
but where interactive 3-D images of the molecules are not available."
Interactive
Biochemistry at the University of Virginia
This site has some very nice tutorials
related to proteins structure and enzyme kinetics.

Education Resources: Web Links from the University of Wisconsin
A good place to go if you have time
to browse.
ChemPort provides a one stop place where you can link to professional scientific societies in Chemistry, Biochemistry, Genetics, Molecular Biology, Physiology, Medicine, etc. Many of the professional society web-pages have links to educational resources.
The Molecular Biology Jump Station is the place to go when you want to find out procedures for experiments in molecular biology.
Pedro's BioMolecular Research Tools was last up dated in 1995 but there are LOTS of useful web links.
