This website has a ton of information about many different aspects in Biochemistry. I was looking through the different pages and found so many topics that we have discussed in class, as well as other topics that relate to other classes I have taken. Some of the page topics include, Thermodynamics, Protein Structure and Analysis, Hemoglobin and Myoglobin, Enzyme Kinetics, Vitamins and Minerals, Glycolysis, Diabetes, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Sphingolipid Metabolism, Nucleotide Metabolism, Amino Acid Metabolism, DNA and RNA Metabolism, Protein Synthesis, Glycoproteins, Control of Gene Expression and The Cell Cycle. These pages all include a good amount of information about each topic, with pictures and diagrams to help explain the topic and processes. There was also a Diseases and Disorders page that caught my eye. This page has links to different diseases and defects. The last page that caught my eye, and I spent the most time reading, was the Muscle Biochemistry page. Muscles are interesting to me in general, so this page really caught my interest. It put together a lot of the information that I learned in Anatomy and Physiology with the Biochemistry aspect of muscles and how they function.
This page has a ton of information and I think is helpful as well. I would suggest taking a look at the abundance of topics that it presents.

That is a great website! I like how easy it is to access everything. It's all right there on the first page. Everything is broken down in the sections and summarized very well.
ReplyDeleteI am definitely going to use this for the midterm exam. They breakdown the synthesis of cholesterol so that it is easy to understand in a step by step process. I wish i had that for anatomy that would have helped out a lot when discussed the skeletal system and the Power stroke theory.

Stacia,
ReplyDeleteI have a DEEP INTEREST of any topic with reference to medicine and how it acts in the body; pharmacokinetics. My mom is a nurse and she always picks out med books to read and then I get to inherit them home with me. I have read on many topics: disease states, health, reflexology, treatments, home remedies, and off-label uses of medicines commonly prescribed. I find all that the medical field intails can keep my attention for hours as I am sooo interested in the concepts as most of the things discussed I see often through working in pharmacy. Great and interesting site!
