Pharmaceutical Information and Databases

• Pharmaceutical Information Network Home Page - PharmInfoNet is a "recognized entry point to access high-quality independent assessments of therapeutics and advances in new drug development."
• Physicians' GenRx - Physicians GenRx is a "thorough compilation of the most current information available on prescription pharmaceuticals."
• RxList Database - A searchable database of pharmaceutical products currently on the US market or close to approval. Also contains a link to the Top 200 most prescribed drugs.
• Drug InfoNet - This site is described as a "one-stop WWW site for all your health care informational needs. It provides both information and links to areas on the web concerning health care and pharmaceutical-related businesses."

Miscellaneous Course-Related Web Resources

• General, Organic, and Biochemistry - lecture notes, slides, animations, summaries, and practice exams to accompany a General, Organic and Biochemistry course. (This material is copyright 1995 James K. Hardy and West Publishing Company.)
• WWW resources on Metabolic Pathways and Diseases

Structural Databases

• Molecules R US - This form implements a full text search of the Brookhaven Protein Database (PDB). Output can be in the form of either viewable images (GIF files) or protein-database (PDB) files for viewing with "helper applications" such as RasMol or Mage.
• Smell Database - This (relatively small) database contains structures of molecules with interesting odors. Lists some physical properties and a small "thumbnail" picture of the molecule. Full rotatable viewing requires RasMol.

General Search Tools

• Yahoo - A very useful general index and search tools. Follow Health or Medicine links.
• Alta Vista - A powerful full text search of web content and Usenet newsgroups.
• ChemCenter - A new WWW site sponsored by the American Chemical Society with links to a variety of chemistry-related resources.
