This biochemistry website provides for interactive animation learning with a variety of related topics combined with knowledge gained to take quizzes or play games with biochemistry understanding. For people who learn best or easier by visual association, this website is found to be easy to use and connects ideas completely together. The main menus across the top once selected, give a brief summary of what will be covered in that section. From there the user can chose any specific topic they are looking for. For example, when glycolysis is chosen, another browser window opens and an interactive match up game of the glycolysis process begins. I have yet to cover this topic in my current biochemistry class, but I found this application super easy to use and had fun seeing what I already knew. No required sign in or membership is required which is a plus for me because this means one less password to remember!
The "Cutting Edge" menu has many interesting real world applications of biochemistry. Facts and statistics are listed even with input calculators such as a BMI index calculator. Possible biochemistry related careers are also listed. For further and more related topics such as structure databases, online journals and laboratory protocols to name a few, a link is provided. Overall, this website is easy to use, easy to navigate through and very informative. A++ rating from me.
