"Chemists are a strange class of mortals,
impelled by an almost maniacal
impulse to seek their pleasures amongst smoke and vapour, soot and
flames,
poisons and poverty, yet amongst all these evils I seem to live so
sweetly
that I would rather die than change places with the King of Persia."
-- Johann Joachim Becher,
Physica subterranea (1667)

It is disconcerting to reflect on the number
of students we have flunked
in chemistry for not knowing what we later found to be untrue.

Intro Hypertext with graphics

MIT Enzyme Biochemistry Hypertext: Four
"chapters" cover Chemical
Energetics, Enzyme Mechanisms,
Enzyme Kinetics, and Feedback Inhibition.
Colorful diagrams and graphics lead you
through clear and concise explanatory text. Links are scattered
throughout the text to take you deeper and deeper into your selected topic. For example:
clicking on amino acids takes you to proteins with an explanation, diagrams of amino
acids, and further suggested links. "Chapter 5" is a terrific self test on
the while unit (chapters 1-4) that contains questions requiring both knowledge
retention and problem solving. The answers may be submitted to an MIT tutor or you
can follow a link to the answers page.http://esg-www.mit.edu:8001/esgbio/eb/ebdir.html

Graphics: Topics
include enzyme activity, heme and lipid metabolism,
membranes, metabolic activities, and
pH regulation.

Animated Sodium- Potassium ATPase:
Very detailed animation (with brief explanatory text) of sodium- potassium
functions in the transport of sodium across cellular membranes. You need to
give the animation time to start and the program takes 5 to 10 minutes to
complete depending on the speed of your Internet connection. Don't even
think about leaving the site until it is finished, it won't let you. So enjoy the
whole show.
