Chem 406: Biophysical ChemistryCHEMISTRY 454 

*Here is your major overall resource for metabolic pathways, The Biosynthetic Functions of the TCA (citric acid cycle). A "live metabolic wall chart" relating TCA intermediates to all major biosynthetic pathways. Just click on the map on the left to go to this amazing site. A subject I will touch upon frequently is "Inborn Errors of Metabolism". Unfortunately we learn more about biochemistry from cases where things go wrong. Look at this interesting site on some of the best studied disorders. There is a very useful, detailed resource of all known genetic disorders, OMIM (Online Mendelian Inheritance In Man). Try it out!
This page is a day or night resource for Chem 454. The web reading assignments are mandatory reading for the class as well as the Stryer text. In most cases they will provide an excellent overview of some very complex subjects , and in some cases will provide stuctural tutorials which cannot be provided on the printed page. These should enhance and compliment your understanding of the book.
