New Channels on Bitesize Bio

To help you find information on exactly what you need we're implementing channels, a new way to browse content

Each channel is focused on a specific technique or area and authored/presented by hand-picked authors who are experts in their field. Make sure you don't miss a thing by checking the box below for each channel that interests you.

In return we'll send you one email per month that brings you the latest from your chosen channel(s), along with free members-only content.

Check out our upcoming new channels; Flow Cytometry and Cell Culture, we'll be launching them very soon!

I would like to receive the newsletters for the following channels

Cell Culture
Flow Cytomery
Microscopy & Imaging
Next Generation Sequencing
Writing, Publishing and Presenting
Cloning & Expression

BioChemWeb: Virtual Library for the Molecular Biologist

by in Software & Tools
From the Bitesize Bio channel

biochemwebWikipedia gets quite a bit of attention, and the student of the molecular biological sciences regularly needs a more in-depth information resource. There’s Bruce Alberts et al.’s Molecular Biology of the Cell, Harvey Lodish et al.’s Molecular Cell Biology, and David Nelson’s Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry if you have the textbooks handy. An online compilation or virtual library is extremely useful too.

Fitting that bill for the biochemist or cell and molecular biologist is BioChemWeb. With such a resource, I’m surprised that I don’t hear many of my colleagues mention it, ever. In it, everything from tutorials to protocols to multimedia to a Who’s Who listing can be found there.

Check it out, if you haven’t already.

Also, did you know that Alberts et al.’s Molecular Biology of the Cell is celebrating 25 years, with its 5th edition out this month?
