This is a freshman level introductory text prepared by Dr. Michael J.
Farabee of Estrella Mountain Community College in Arizona. It has 41
chapters includes chemistry, cellular biology, genetics, thermodynamics,
protein synthesis, plants and structure, animal organ systems.
Justice
and the Human Genome Project by Timothy F. Murphy and Marc A. Lappé,
Editors
The essays gathered in this volume were among those
presented at a conference titled "Justice and the Human Genome"
held in Chicago in early November 1991. Published by eScholarship, the
California Digital Library
MendelWeb.
This hypertext instructional resources pertaining to the work of Gregor
Mendel, the founder of the science of genetics. It is developed by Roger
Blumberg.
MIT Biology
HyperTextbook.
This is an introductory molecular biology hypertext book. It includes
chapters on chemistry, large molecules, cell biology, enzyme biochemistry,
photosynthesis, genetics, DNA, and immunology and has practice problems
at the end of each chapter.
Visual
Models of Morphogenesis
This is an online tutorial on the modeling of biological structures
and simulation of their development. The visualization of simulation
results allows for better understanding of morphogenesis. This
hypertext document reviews models of morphogenesis with a significant
visual component, which were developed or reproduced in the Computer
Science Departments at the University of Regina (1987 - August, 1991)
and the University of Calgary (September, 1991 - present).

Protein Explorer
This is offered as unsupported freeware. It provides
a user interface to the Chime plugin allowing easy manipulation and
viewing of PDB structure files. It Includes most RasMol commands, a
comparator funciton that allows comparisons between two structures,
molecules in the structure can be selected in a sequence window and
there is a non-covalent bond finder function. Supported by the Division
of Undergraduate Education of the National Science Foundation, and the
University of Massachusetts. Copyright © 2002 by Eric Martz.
