Elliott & Elliott: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 4e

Part 03

Chapter 09 - Food digestion, absorption, distribution to the tissues, and appetite control

A general article with a number of links is available at: (this also relates to Chapters 10 and 11)
www.emc.maricopa.edu/faculty/farabee/BIOBK/BioBookDIGEST.html

Washington University has a site about oxidative phosphorylation at:
www.chemistry.wustl.edu/~edudev/LabTutorials/Cytochromes/cytochromes.html

Chapter 12- Glycolysis, the citric acid cycle, and the electron transport system: reactions involved in these pathways

There is a simple animation of glycolysis on this site:
http://www.science.smith.edu/departments/Biology/Bio231/glycolysis.html

The University of Arizona has a metabolism problem set at:
www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/problem_sets/metabolism/metabolism.html

Rice University has material on electron transport at:
www.ruf.rice.edu/~bioslabs/studies/mitochondria/mitets.html

Glycolysis is also nicely covered here:

Chapter 13 - Energy release from fat

A quite brief set of notes about fat metabolism is available at:
www.unisanet.unisa.edu.au/08366/h&p2fat.htm

The following site contains material on both fat synthesis and metabolism:
www-medlib.med.utah.edu/NetBiochem/FattyAcids/outline.html

Chapter 15 - Synthesis of glucose (gluconeogenesis)

An attractive and well presented site on gluconeogenesis is:
http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/gluconeogenesis.html

Chapter 16 - Strategies for metabolic control and their application to carbohydrate and fat metabolism

Buehler has an article on the basic principles of control at:
www.whatislife.com/reader2/Metabolism/overview.html

For material on the role of protein phosphorylation see:
www.bioteach.ubc.ca/CellBiology/ProteinPhosphorylation

Chapter 17 - Why should there be an alternative pathway of glucose oxidation? The pentose phosphate pathway

A description of the pathway is at:
http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/pentose-phosphate-pathway.html

Chapter 18 - Raising electrons of water back up the energy scale - photosynthesis

There are two sections on photosynthesis, each containing teaching material and multiple problem sets at the University of Arizona site:
www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/biochemistry.html

Another (different) Arizona based site has a fairly detailed description of the process and some good pictures:
http://photoscience.la.asu.edu/photosyn/education/photointro.html

Chapter 19 - Amino acid metabolism

There is a clear and reasonably comprehensive description of amino acid metabolism at:
http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/pentose-phosphate-pathway.html

Chapter 20 - Nucleotide synthesis and metabolism

There is a nice summary of nucleotide metabolism at:
http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/nucleotide-metabolism.html

This useful site on nucleotide metabolism is in question and answer form:
