Proteopedia:Biochemistry in 3D
From Proteopedia
Biochemistry in 3D was a supplement to the textbook Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry (fourth edition, published in 2000). It was created by Timothy Driscoll and Frieda Reichsman (Worth Publishers). It used a technology called Chime browser plug-in that is no longer easy to access. Inspired by this supplement, the following are topics that students in their first course of biochemistry are likely to encounter. For each topic, some links to relevant Proteopedia articles are given.
