The Biochemistry website I chose was http://themedicalbiochemistrypage.org/. I chose this specific biochemistry website because it has to deal with medical biochemistry, which is extremely interesting to me since I wish to use my knowledge of biochemistry to pursue a job in the medical field. It also has many useful applications to our class, for example in lecture we have talked about sickle cell anemia, MAOI's (Monoamine oxidase inhibitors), Histinde in allergies, and PKU disorder which for the most part can all be found in detail on this site. It also goes into many 'pop culture' topics that have to do with biochemistry that can include: healthy diets, the obseity epidemic, and muscle biochemistry; which are all topics that many Americans have a growing interest in.
Another helpful aspect of this website are the diagrams. I feel that many websites that cover biochemistry topics can be confusing, this website helps to break down the bulk of the challenging topics, and gives useful images to help demonstrate the topics and how they incorporate the different biochemistry aspects. You can also subscribe to the page so that you can be updated on the new information posted onto it.
I used this website to create my powerpoint for our class and found it extremely interesting... It is a very good website to help with biochem concept in the medical field and they also do a great job explaining everything with their diagrams.
ReplyDeleteAshley, I'm so glad this website was helpful to you! Finding an interesting website is one thing, but discovering a website you can actually use to enrich your presentation is a great tool and I'm so happy I was able to help you come across it. I also loved that it related biochemistry to the medical field, and the diagrams are key to helping the learning process. Thanks for your comment!
