BioTech Graphics Gallery
Collection of labelled diagrams illustrating key processes of biotechnology for the purposes of biology teaching and learning. Includes diagrams and explanations of the structure of DNA, DNA replication, protein synthesis, control of gene expression, chemical bonds, plant cells, chromosome mutation, meiosis, mitosis, recessive and dominant inheritance, viruses and cell processes.

Blocks WWW Server
A service for biological sequence analysis, consisting of 2884 blocks representing 770 protein groups. Blocks are multiply aligned ungapped segments corresponding to the most highly conserved regions of proteins. Block Searcher, Get Blocks and Block Maker are aids to detection and verification of protein sequence homology. They compare a protein or DNA sequence to a database of protein blocks, retrieve blocks, and create new blocks, respectively.

Guide to Structure Prediction
A guide to predicting protein 3D structure. Headings include sequence database searching, domain assignment, multiple sequence alignment, comparative or homology modelling, secondary structure prediction, fold recognition, analysis of fold families and alignment of secondary structures.
     Author: Russell, Robert B.
     Subjects: biochemistry, proteins
     DeweyClass: 572
     Resource type: guide
Journal of Bacteriology

Principles of Protein Structure Using the Internet
International science education course. Graphical and hypertext material for the course has been supplied by 30 experts in protein structure, many of whom also contribute to email discussions and tutorials. Winner of the 1996 UCISA award for promoting good practice in the use of the Web within the UK higher education sector.

Prion Diseases
Document describing infectious agents which do not have a nucleic acid genome. They are called prions, which are defined as 'small proteinaceous infectious particles which resist inactivation by procedures that modify nucleic acids'. Examples of prion diseases are scrapie, tme, cwd, bse, and cjd.
     Author: Heaphy, Shaun
     Subjects: bse, cjd, proteins
     DeweyClass: 616.8

Prion Diseases and the BSE Crisis
Article considering how bovine prions may have been passed to humans, resulting in a new form of CJD. Prions are transmissible particles that are devoid of nucleic acid and seem to be composed exclusively of a modified protein. BSE and human CJD are among the most notable central nervous system degenerative disorders caused by prions.
