Biochem Website

Find an interesting biochemistry website and put its link in this entry, and describe briefly what is found there.
http://www.wiley.com/legacy/college/boyer/0470003790/animations/animations.htm


All of the interactive animations on this website visually demonstrate various biochemical processes and there are also tabs that provide ways to learn and become familiar with other biochemical concepts such as pH and buffers, redox reactions, thermodynamics, logarithms, and elementary kinetics. The animations show processes like DNA replication, cloning, the Cori Cycle, the central dogma of biochemistry, catalysis, cell structure, enzyme inhibition and so many more. You all should definitely check out this site because I think it will be extremely beneficial when studying!

Brief Description of all the tabs:
Concept reviews: is a refresher on critical chemistry concepts
Interactive animations: help review/learn particular biochemical processes
Structure Tutorials: designed to help students learn biochemical structures ( also interactive)
Cutting edge: shows articles that relate to how biochemistry is used to solve real-world problems
Web links: more links to help fully understand biochemistry
Quizzes: (divided by course material) just to help refresh and become more familiar with study topics

Here is an example of one of the interactive tutorials, DNA Replication:

You NEED to visit Wiley.com :)
