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.
Molecules and Genetics : These disciplines, unknown in Darwin's time, only really developed during the last few decades. Until then, evolutionary relationships among organisms were based on anatomy, embryology, development and distribution. Understanding enzymes, proteins, DNA and the genetic code now provides another independent test of evolutionary relationships.
Atoms and Molecules : Two pages that explain the basics of chemistry necessary to under-standing of biological concepts and evolutionary theory. This is a primer, not an intensive course.
Kimball's Biochemistry : Thorough coverage of the basics of biochemistry including many topics such as ATP, Bioluminescence, Cellular respiration, Enzymes, Metabolism, Photosynthesis, The Urea cycle and more.
Biochemistry in 3D :
Interactive tutorials using 3D structures to teach concepts in Biochemistry. It is designed to accompany Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry 3rd edition.
The Molecular Universe : This is a web book, some segments of which such as The Molecules of Life, will be of interest to students.

Chromatin Structure & Function : We often picture DNA as free-floating strands, but in the nucleus it's actually tightly wound around proteins called histones. A flurry of research is probing how chemical messengers coax this balled-up stuff, called chromatin, to unravel and send signals for making proteins.
BioChem Workbench : 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.
SenseLab:
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.
