Literature/Researching
Resources
-
Medical
Biochemistry. Here is a great site covering all basic aspects of
biochemistry and metabolism.
-
The Protein Data Bank. Search
here to find out if there is a known structure for a given drug target
protein.
-
OMIM (Online
Mendelian Inheritance In Man). The ultimate genetic disorder resource.
EVERY known genetic-linked disease is here.
-
KEGG(Kyoto Encyclopedia
of Genes and Genomes)-Great central resource for metabolic
pathways, enzyme info, regulatory pathways, genomic, proteomics resources.
It's all here!
-
How
aspirin works. Here is a structural resource requiring CHIME. This
is a classic system for understanding SAR(Structure Activity Relationships).
-
Biochemistry Animations.
Go
to the contents page and then "studying protein structures" and you will
be rewarded with CHIME aminmations of various medically important protein
targets including G-proteins and the HIV protease.
-
PubMed-This
is a very good Medline journal search tool which also provides abstracts.
-
SCI-Science Citation Index-
very good-a little harder to figure out than PubMed but has some more obscure
journals, but just from 1987-2000.
-
A Medical Terminology
Dictionary. You'll need this if you ever hope to understand whether
you should be insulted if accused of "intermittent
claudication"!
-
Molecular
Biochemistry/Metabolism This is a GREAT supplementary/study web
site. See the excellent animations and protein structures.
