Cell & Molecular Biology Online
This site collects links to resources on cell and molecular biology for students and researchers including educational as well as career related resources.
CELLS Alive!
A great and very visual educational site about basic cell biology. This site includes informational photo galleries and interactive animations.
ChemIDplus
"Database of over 380,000 chemicals, synonyms, structures, regulatory list information, and links to other databases"
ChemTube3D - Interactive 3D Organic Reaction Mechanisms
"This site contains interactive 3D animations for some of the most important organic reactions covered during an undergraduate chemistry degree with supporting information on reactivity and spectroscopy."
Entrez, The Life Sciences Search Engine Search
Don't just search PubMed, search across every database available from the NCBI at the same time.
Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO)
"The Human Proteome Organisation (HUPO) is an international scientific organization representing and promoting proteomics through international cooperation and collaborations by fostering the development of new technologies, techniques and training." Includes a glossary of proteomic terms among other things.
International HapMap Project
"The goal of the International HapMap Project is to develop a haplotype map of the human genome, the HapMap, which will describe the common patterns of human DNA sequence variation. The HapMap is expected to be a key resource for researchers to use to find genes affecting health, disease, and responses to drugs and environmental factors."
Lenntech Periodic Table
Interactive periodic table that includes chemical properties as well as health and environmental effects of each element.
Model Organisms for Biomedical Research
"We hope this web site provides you with information about national and international activities and major resources that are being developed to facilitate biomedical research using the animal models listed here. For organisms not listed, web pages may be developed in the future."
Molecule of the month (University of Bristol)
Molecules to visualize include aspirin, diamond, nicotine and many others. Monthly visualizations are available back to 1996.
NanoScienceWorks.org
"NanoScienceWorks.org serves the nano community as a gateway to the news, journals, books, and articles that support and drive nano research and development. We invite you to explore these resources, view our slidecasts, and join our networking database of nano-involved people and institutions from around the world."
Nanowerk
"Published and owned by Nanowerk LLC, the Nanowerk site is a very comprehensive and educational nanotechnology/nanoscience portal. It delivers very current news and information that is rich in scope and content. The well-organized home page, with sections titled Databases, News, Nanobusiness, Resources, and Introduction to Nanotechnology, provides clear links to the site's content. A free, searchable Nanomaterial Database provides information on more than 1,900 materials, and a Company and Labs Directory offers more than 3,000 links. Also available are a conference calendar, video library, free industry reports, periodical directory, and book lists linked to Amazon.com. A site map, search box feature, and easy navigation scheme mean that users can locate information quickly. The site also offers a Spotlight feature article, an encyclopedia, blogs, quizzes, career center, and Nanotalk community forum."

This site collects all the nationally maintained databases and related information. This includes a nember of key databses for resaearch in genetics, biochemistry, molecular biology and medical sciences.
Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA)
"The NIH Office of Biotechnology Activities (OBA) promotes science, safety, and ethics in biotechnology through advancement of knowledge, enhancement of public understanding, and development of sound public policies. OBA accomplishes its mission through analysis, deliberation, and communication of scientific, medical, ethical, legal, and social issues." The organization is made up of four programs covering: Recombinant DNA (RAC), Genetics, Health and Society (SACGHS), Dual Use Research (NSABB) and Clinical Research Policy Analysis and Coordination (CRpac).
PID WEB Molecular Biology
A collection of resources, organisations, jounals and other links for molecular biology
SciTopics.com
SciTopics has humdreds of introductory articles about a wide variety of subjects written by experts in each discipline. Unlike Wikipedia and some other sources, all of the articles on SciTopics have gone through a process of peer review and provide a scholarly introduction to a subject as well as give a variety of resources for further research.
