Useful Web Links

Many useful resources for the biochemist are now readily available on the web. Here are a few commonly used links to get you started.
  • Looking for MSDS sheets? Try the databases at MSU or GSU.

  • The National Center for Biotechnology Information is a great place to start if you're looking for sequence submission & retrieval, database searches, or Medline molecular biology searches.

  • Full MEDLINE searches as well as other databases are available through the LOLA site here on campus.

  • Brookhaven is an excellent place to start downloading atomic coordinates that you can then view with your favorite modelling program.

  • Several journals are going on-line including Cell, Nature, Journal of Biological Chemistry, Protein Science, and Science.

  • Additionally, just about anything else that you could want has been indexed in Pedro's Research Tools, including tutorials, guides, dictionaries, and help tools.

  • If molecular biology is your thing, you're sure to need oligonucleotides. And what better place to have them synthesized than right here on campus at Gene Lab.

  • Many catalogs are now on-line as well, including New England Biolabs, Molecular Probes, Gibco-BRL/Life Technologies, and Sigma Chemicals.

  • When you're ready to write up your data and aren't quite sure how to go about it, try Strunk's Style Guide for some helpful advice.

  • Be sure to check out our department links page for a more general set of useful links in biological science research.

  • And as always, if all else fails, there are a number of search engines to help you find exactly what you're looking for!
