Searching for information about enzymes, receptors, and other biochemical data is a painstaking task for chemists even in well-equipped libraries. The World Wide Web (WWW), also called the information superhighway, offers now an alternative approach, which is especially advantageous for homology modeling. Browsers like Mosaic and Netscape support quick access to a variety of sites and databanks (for example, the Brookhaven Data Bank and the Swiss Protein Data Bank) and help to download programs and files (tertiary structures, protein sequences) in a convenient way. Form-based searches and the presence of tools (alignments, structure prediction) on the web contribute to further time savings.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
Take JCE along on your outreach missions. Copies of the Journal, guest access to JCE Online, our publications catalog, and more are available for your participants.
