Biochemistry and Molecular Structure Resources

3D Molecules

Protein Data Bank (PDB) Search for the protein structures and either print, view online, or download to view with an appropriate plug-in (some of which can be downloaded from the site). Features a "molecule of the month." Also, visit the extensive Educational Resources Section.

NCBI's Structure Pageallows you to view structures with a simple view, Cn3D, available for download from the site. It also maintains its own structure database, MMDB, which is a subset of the PDB.

Biotechnology and Molecular Biology Curriculum

Genetic Science Learning Center Offers many valuable resources for teaching and learning about biotechnology.

Iowa State Biotechnology Resources for Educators Includes thirteen laboratory activities, curriculum units, and more. Topics include DNA extraction, fingerprinting, bacteria transformation, bioluminescence, plant micro propagation, a PCR activity, and a soybean flavor demonstration.
