you will very likely also want to check out the  "Molecular Heaven"  page. Many of the sites on both that page and  this one will require MDL Chime, which works best with Netscape 4.7x. See the Downloads page for details.

a useful site still in its infancy

http://www.bio.com/

news & events, industry guide, products, jobs, research/education

http://www.molbiol.bbsrc.ac.uk/information/biolist.html

lots of links for the serious biologist/biochemist -- definitely worth checking out

quick access to some basic info -- sort of like what you might want when you're cramming for that Introductory Bio test!

http://www.chem.qmul.ac.uk/iupac/bioinorg/index.html

handy and useful, with cross-referenced entries

and lots there are!

http://arnica.csustan.edu/index.html

lots of links organized by subdiscipline

http://tutor.lscf.ucsb.edu/instdev/sears/biochemistry/

a really useful site that requires lots of browser plugins, including MS Windows Media Player 7, Acrobat Reader, Macromedia Authorware Web Player, MDL Chime 2.6, Netscape 4.7, MS IE 5.5, RealPlayer G2, RasMol v2.6, Mage v.4.2,.... And, as is common for Chime-based sites, I had to use Netscape 4.7x to access several of the sections successfully.

wow! great stuff in biochemistry, cell biology,  chemicals and human health, developmental biology, human biology, immunology, Mendelian genetics, and molecular biology. Some sections available in Spanish or Portuguese.

site currently under construction. This course is the one for which I originally began constructing this resource list. I formerly used Seager and Slabaugh's  Chemistry for Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry, 4th or 3rd ed. (Brooks-Cole), but for the next offering (in Spring 2002) I have decided to switch to Denniston, Topping, and Caret's General, Organic, and Biochemistry, 3rd ed. (McGraw-Hill, 2001).

A very well-done site that has given me some good tips and pointers.

Yet another organic/biochemistry course, this one for nursing students at UWEC. There's lots of good stuff here, including PowerPointish lecture overheads with .PDF printable handout versions. You might also want to check out the UWEC Chem Dept home page at  http://www.uwec.edu/Academic/Chemistry/chemistry.html  for other good course outlines and related stuff.

  I really like the section on carbohydrates and have used it in my teaching. Unfortunately, access is very quirky -- sometimes good, at others impossible
But wait! it has improved! See

   Clarke also teaches organic, fundamentals of chem, and "Chemistry in the World"  [analogous to MPC's CHEM 12, 2, and 10, respectively]

a really nice Chime site -- claims to work best with Netscape. Good stuff on DNA, proteins, etc. acesible tambien por nosotros quien hablamos poquito español!

http://www.mhhe.com/physsci/chemistry/denniston/

There's been a lot of discussion lately on CHEMED-L about "nursing chemistry." Even though I teach such a course, I'm not really a fan of the idea that you can cover general, organic, and biochem adequately in a two-semester format -- and I'm even less enthused about the move at schools in a number of states  to cover all of these areas in ONE semester! With that little bit of personal venting out of the way, I will say that, of the available texts in the G-O-B format, I have chosen this one for the next offering of my CHEM 30B course because I found its level of topic coverage to approximate best what I think is appropriate.

The site associated with B-C's Seager and Slabaugh's  Chemistry for Today: General, Organic, and Biochemistry. For a long time this site was always "under construction" -- now it seems to be functional. Each chapter/subject area is keyed to a "hypercontents" list of related web resources [at the old URL, some were not active, but they seem to have recently revamped it, unfortunately not making it too convenient to get there now]. 
Many chapters also have associated Chime exercises -- and the ones I've checked so far worked with the MS IE version!  I have now switched to a different text for my organic/biochem for health science course, but this site has provided some useful references and I will still recommend it to my students.

http://www.hbcollege.com/chem/biochem/GarrettGrisham/GarrettGrisham.html 

a great web site with lots of web references, organized by chapter and by topic. Some animations, and PowerPoint slides for each chapter.

http://c4.cabrillo.cc.ca.us        

a really excellent CHIME site, with tools and tutorials. Unfortunately, you can't get the site to work right with MS Internet Explorer™ even with the IE version of CHIME installed, so access it with Netscape Communicator™ 4.75 or 4.76.

http://www.bio.cmu.edu/Courses/BiochemMols/

Received uniform 5-star ratings from MERLOT peer reviewers on 7/22/01. This Chime-based site has excellent tutorials [some cleverly disguised as quizzes] on the use of Chime and RasMol, small molecules, protein architecture, glycolysis and the TCA cycle, and much more. A definite winner!  My IE 5.5 version of Chime 2.0 worked on this site, but a few micro-quasi-glitches or hesitations imply that Netscape 4.7x with Chime/Chimescape is probably more reliable.

what a great site to go along with a great textbook! Incredibly detailed and thorough Chime-based exploration of structure and function in proteins and nucleotides.

http://www.clunet.edu/BioDev/omm/gallery.htm

works best with the Netscape version of Chime, although I was able to access a large part of the site with the IE version. Beautifully-done tutorials on about 30 topics of particular interest to cell and molecular biologists.
