Elliott & Elliott: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 4e

Part 01

Chapter 01 - The basic molecular themes of life

Rothamsted research has a beginner’s site to molecular biology at:
http://www.rothamsted.bbsrc.ac.uk/notebook/courses/guide/

Wikepedia has an article on the origin of life at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origin_of_life

There is an article on the molecules of life provided by the Laboratory for Molecular Biophysics, University of Oxford at:
http://biop.ox.ac.uk/www/mol_of_life/index.html.

The University of Utah also has a site on the molecules of life at:
http://gslc.genetics.utah.edu/units/basics/rna/first.cfm

Chapter 02 - Cells & viruses

A fancy site that contains quite a lot of information on both viruses and viroids can be found at:
http://library.thinkquest.org/23054/basics/page7.html

Cells alive has an interactive site which you can use to learn about the different components of animal and plant cells:
