Find an interesting biochemistry website and put its link in this entry, and describe briefly what is found there.

The website http://Themedicalbiochemistrypage.org provides detailed information in regards to biological and chemical functions of the human body including topics such as metabolism, vitamins and minerals. Each of theses categories is followed by subcategories, which includes effects of deficiency and or disease pertaining to a biochemical function or in other cases more detailed references. For example, Amino Acid Metabolism has several subcategories which include an introduction to amino acid metabolism, essential versus non-essential amino acids, and inborn errors in amino acids. By selecting one of these three, will bring you to a list and of various amino acids. Each amino acid listed includes its structure and detailed function. Other main biochemistry categories include protein synthesis, enzyme kinetic, hemoglobin, myoglobin, etc. This website has proved to be extremely informative, as a dictionary or encyclopedia for biochemistry terms, functions and reactions. It is extremely organized, allowing for a quick and efficient search.

  1. Completely correct about the benefits that the website has as a resource for biochemistry terms, functions, and reactions. I do agree that the website was extremely organized, quick, and efficient. I am impressed at the range of biochemical topics that the website covered and in depth it went. The Amino Acid Metabolism was a great example.
