Literature Resources

The NIH's National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) provides free online access to several data bases:
- PubMed which you can use to do a key word searchs of the scientific literature.
  - MeSH (Medical Subject Headings)
- OMIM Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man.
Science Citation Index: This extremely useful research tool that allows you to find scientific articles which have cited a particular article of interest. For example, the PDB file for a protein provides the reference for the article in which a structure was first reported in the literature. You can use that citation in a Science Citation Index search to find other articles that refer to this article.
CAS-Online is the online version of Chemical Abstracts. If you would like to do a CAS-Online search of the literature, see me.
