Elliott & Elliott: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 4e

Part 04

Chapter 21 - The genome

A site that has molecular graphics of DNA can be found at:
www.blc.arizona.edu/Molecular_Graphics/DNA_Structure/DNA_Tutorial.HTML

Another site with an exercise using graphics can be found at:
www.biology.arizona.edu/biochemistry/activities/DNA/DNA_intro.html

An account of the determination of DNA structure cane be found at:
www.accessexcellence.com/AE/AEC/CC/DNA_structure.html

There is a straightforward tutorial/text account at:
http://library.thinkquest.org/20465/DNAstruct.html

This is simply a small sample of the vast number of sites that exist on this topic.

Chapter 22 - DNA synthesis, repair, and recombination

There are some multiple choice questions covering DNA repair and mutagenesis at:
www.uky.edu/Classes/BCH/401/Probs/Andres/2000/PS35.htm

For general coverage of DNA metabolism (which includes DNA repair) see:
http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/dna.html

A lecture, quiz tutorial etc on DNA replication and repair is available at:
www.bio.cmu.edu/courses/03231/LecF04/Lec18/lec18.html

The following site is specifically about repair:
www.phys.ksu.edu/gene/f_6.html

Chapter 23 - Gene transcription and control

There is a web book, with a chapter on transcription at:
www.web-books.com/MoBio

Another reasonably complete description of transcription is available at:
www.ultranet.com/~jkimball/BiologyPages/T/Transcription.html

A fairly elementary overview of transcription is given here:
http://www.phschool.com/science/biology_place/biocoach/transcription/overview.html

Chapter 24 - Protein synthesis and controlled protein breakdown

An overview of protein synthesis is given here:
http://www.accessexcellence.org/RC/VL/GG/protein_synthesis.php

While there is a nice learning activity related to protein synthesis here:
http://www.wisc-online.com/objects/index_tj.asp?objID=AP1302

Gorinsky has an introductory page on protein breakdown and a series of links to other sites at:
www.biochem.emory.edu/labs/genekdw/protdeg2000/intro.html

Chapter 25 - The RNA world – RNA microgenes and RNA interference

An animation of RNA interference from the journal Nature is here:
http://www.nature.com/focus/rnai/animations/index.html

And a nice presentation on RNA interference is here:
http://www.hhmi.org/biointeractive/rna/rnai/index.html

And there is a general site related to RNAi here:
http://porpax.bio.miami.edu/~cmallery/150/gene/siRNA.htm

Chapter 26 - Protein sorting and delivery

For protein targeting, see:
www.cryst.bbk.ac.uk/PPS2/course/section4/targeting.html

Wikipedia has a site on this topic at:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protein_targeting

A general description of protein synthesis, which includes coverage of targeting, is here:
http://www.mun.ca/biochem/courses/3107/Topics/Folding_etc.html

Chapter 27 - Cell signalling

A site dedicated to cell signalling is available here:
http://www.signaling-gateway.org/

A set of slides is available at:
views.vcu.edu/~mikuleck/cellsig/sld001.htm

The open directory project has a page with extensive links at:
dmoz.org/Science/Biology/Cell_Biology/Signal_Transduction/

Chapter 28 - Manipulating DNA and genes

A simple introduction to gene manipulation is given here:
www.geneticengineering.org/dna6/default.htm

A short course on gene manipulation in plants from the Open University (UK) is here:
http://openlearn.open.ac.uk/course/view.php?id=2808
