Chemistry Links
Welcome to the Chemistry links page. These links are provided as additional information to go along with the topics covered on my website. At the time of this posting, the links are all in working order, but if you come across one that doesn't work, please contact me at WWDD.
Learn Chemistry Online
Two pages that explain the basics of chemistry necessary to understanding of biological concepts and evolutionary theory. This is a primer, not an intensive course.
 |
Biochemistry at Kimball's Biology Thorough coverage of the basics of biochemistry including many topics such as ATP, Bioluminescence, Cellular respiration, Enzymes, Metabolism, Photosynthesis, The Urea cycle and more. Chemistry at Kimball's Biology Includes acids and bases, bond energy, elements and atoms, hydrogen bonds, mixtures and compounds, parts per million (PPM), etc., prions, and more. |
Interactive tutorials using 3D structures to teach concepts in Biochemistry. It is designed to accompany Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry 3rd edition. Chemscape Chime 2.X, JAva, Javascript, Netscape Communicator 4.5-4.76 and having style sheets enabled are required for using this resource.
Provides thermochemical, thermophysical, and ion energetics data compiled by National Institute of Standards and Technology under the Standard Reference Data Program.

This is a web book, some segments of which such as The Molecules of Life, will be of interest to students. |
Biochemistry
A revolutionary tool for biologists. Search many popular protein and nucleic acid sequence databases and access a wide variety of analysis and modeling tools, all within a point and click interface that eliminates file compatibility problems.
Whether it's the perfume of lilac blossoms or the stench of old gym socks, a smell is a matter of chemistry. Odor molecules wafting through the air dock with olfactory receptors in your nose, triggering nerve impulses that the brain perceives as a smell.
Inorganic Chemistry
 |
This website, provided by UCSB includes resources to do research about inorganic chemistry online. |
 |
This page provides information on many inorganic substancs. In order to use this website, you need to download and install Chime which you can get for free here. Chime allows you to view chemiscal structures in 3D. |
This page is just one of many chemistry-related links prodived by Pomona College in Claremont, California.
Molecular Structures
X-ray crystallography is a technique that allows one to determine the structure of molecules in crystalline materials. A surprisingly small crystal (much smaller than a typical grain of salt!) can yield the three-dimensional coordinates of all the atoms present in the material. This information can then be used to determine the distances and angles and other geometrical properties of the material, as well as images of the molecule and its packing in the crystal. Although the primary purpose of this server is to allow researchers collaborating with the IUMSC easy access to this information for crystals studied locally, it is (mostly) open for all to enjoy.

This page offers a concise index of common crystal lattice structures. A graphical representation as well as useful information about the lattices can be found by clicking on the images. |
This site includes a number of pictures (actual and virtual) of fullerines and buckyballs.
Molecule of Month at Imperial College
This link provides imagery of many different molecules. CHIME or Chem3D are required to view.
 |
Molecule of the Month at Univ. Bristol This link provides imagery of many different molecules. CHIME or Chem3D are required to view. |
WebMol was designed to display and analyze structural information contained in the Brookhaven Protein Data Bank (PDB). It can be run as an applet or as a stand-alone application.
Organic Chemistry
A great place to sniff out smell lore is a site created by organic chemist John Leffingwell, who heads a company in Canton, Georgia, that sells databases of odor and flavor chemicals.
This serves as a quick refresher if you've forgotten the difference between alkanes and alkenes or can't recall the details of the Friedel-Crafts alkylation. Brisk pages cover the structure, properties, and nomenclature of the major classes of organic molecules and explain common reaction mechanisms.
A grab bag of what you'll find: online journals, patent sites, spectra databases, boiling points of solvents, software for drawing molecules, a textbook on organometallic compounds, and a guide to naming carbohydrates.
Polymers
The Macrogalleria -- Polymer Fun
The mission of this project is to provide working knowledge of polymers and related concepts to students of all levels, from K-12 to graduate-level and the general public as well, and to do so on multiple levels, so that the program will be both informative and entertaining to both beginners and more advanced students of polymer science. This program aims not only to provide an introduction to polymer science for those pursuing scientific careers, but to provide information in such a way that will interest the non-scientist as well, to the end of helping to create a more scientifically literate general public.
 |
Polymers and Liquid Crystals Textbook Polymers and Liquid Crystals is a pilot program produced by a cooperative effort between the Department of Physics and the Department of Macromolecular Science and Engineering at Case Western Reserve University in conjunction with the Center for Advanced Liquid Crystalline Optical Materials (ALCOM) at Kent State University. |
Proteins
Whether you're looking for the dog genome project or the structure of a ribosomal subunit, over 1,000 links lead to every imaginable protein and gene site.
Protein Explorer Entry Options
Protein Explorer is free software for visualizing the three-dimensional structures of protein, DNA, and RNA macromolecules, and their interactions and binding of ligands, inhibitors, and drugs. It is arguably the easiest-to-use software of its kind. It is suitable for high school and college students (ages 16 years and older), yet it is also widely used by graduate students and researchers.
Descriptions, TC numbers, examples of over 150 families of transport proteins are provided.
Spectroscopy
BMRB's mission is to collect, archive, and disseminate (worldwide in the public domain) the important quantitative data derived from NMR spectroscopic investigations of biological macromolecules.
This site was established to provide chemistry students with a library of spectroscopy problems. Interpretation of spectra is a technique that requires practice - this site provides 1H NMR and 13C NMR, DEPT, COSY and IR spectra of various compounds for students to interpret. Hopefully, these problems will provide a useful resource to better understand spectroscopy.
Miscellaneous Chemistry Links
 |
Free software, research on insects, interactive learning, databases and links to an enormous amount of information and publications. Could be called Bark Beetle Central. |
Pictures of the earth taken from space allow us to see how unique planet earth looks compared to other planets. This difference is liquid water on the surface, making the planet appear as a big blue marble floating in the inky blackness of space.
