Specific Compounds
This list of links represents a few ways to find information on specific compounds.
- Web-sters' Organic Chemistry
This is an extensive source of data bases and other tools, constructed in large part for use by organic chemistry classes, but of very general utility. - Welcome to CambridgeSoft!
This is the online version of "Chemfinder" at Cambridge Software, and provides connections to, and a search engine for, a number of data bases. - MSDS
One source of Material Safety Data Sheets from Envirocare International, Inc. - PDB WWW Home Page
PDB 3DBBrowser
These two addresses provide access to the current home of the Protein Data Bank, where one can find structures for a great many compounds of biological interest. - Integrated Spectral Data Base System for Organic Compounds
This database provides spectral data, in particular, for a great many compounds. It includes IR, NMR, MS, Raman, and ESR spectra. It is provided by the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Tsukuba, Ibaraki, Japan. - Molecules from Chemistry at Okanagan University College
The Okanagan University College site lists a number of organic molecules in a form in which they can be viewed with Rasmol or Chime, though it's not clear that all the structures have had their geometries optimized and checked carefully. - WEB ELEMENTS
This is a periodic table by Mark Winter at the University of Sheffield, England, which allows you to look at chemical, physical, nuclear, geological and biological information about the elements. Additional information includes reduction potentials,ionization enthalpies as well as electronic configurations.
Visualization Tools
This list of links represents ways to find information on useful visualization tools.
- UCB Enhanced Rasmol
This page provides information about, and a place to download, an enhanced version of RasMol, which allows, for example, the simultaneous viewing of more than one image, superposition, and the like. - The Protein Explorer Front Door
This page provides access to a PDB-file viewing program called Protein Explorer, which permits easy exploration of biopolymers. The program makes extensive use of the browser plugin "CHIME."
Pedagogy, books, journals and software
This list of links represents a few favorites.
- Chemical Education Resource Shelf
A handy list of texts in all areas of Chemistry, and links to their publishers' home pages. - JCEOnline
TheChemical Educator
Two journals for chemical educators. - ACS Publications Division
Access to information about all the ACS journals, including current tables of contents. Note that Lawrence faculty and students have full text access to a number of the ACS journals, including back issues, through the library web page. - TheWhy Files
Some interesting questions and answers.
