Elliott & Elliott: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology 4e

Part 05

Chapter 29 - Special topics: blood clotting, xenobiotic metabolism, reactive oxygen species

For blood clotting see:
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/Clotting.html

For an overview of xenobiotic metabolism a reasonable place to start would be Wikipedia:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xenobiotic_metabolism

You can read a history of xenobiotic metabolism here:
http://www.issx.org/i4a/pages/index.cfm?pageid=3306

A general overview of reactive oxygen species is given here:

Chapter 30 - The immune system

There is a well presented site supported by a number of US government agencies at:
http:rex.nci.nih.gov/PATIENTS/INFO_TEACHER/bookshelf/NIH_immune/

The following site is a glossary of terms related to the immune system and also has links to other sites:
www.molbiol.ox.ac.uk/pathology/tig/gloss.html

Chapter 31 - The cell cycle and its control

A nice review of the cell cycle can be found here:
http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/C/CellCycle.html

For an interactive animation see:
www.cellsalive.com/cell_cycle.htm

For more on cell cycle control see:

Chapter 32 - Apoptosis

For apoptosis see:
users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/A/Apoptosis.html

and
www.celldeath.de/ the latter being a source of many

Chapter 33 - Cancer

A US government site giving lots of information about cancer is available here:
http://www.cancer.gov/

Cancer Research UK also has a useful overview of the biology of cancer here:
