What knowledge have you connected with past knowledge?

So far in this course, I have made many connections to past knowledge.  Many of the topics learned in biology and genetics are reinforced and reintroduced from a biochemical point of view.  I enjoyed studying about the steps involved in DNA replication to the steps involved in protein synthesis. I also found the student's presentation to be very interesting and enjoyable. Many of the presentation made connected what was learned in class to the real world.

Find an interesting biochemistry website and put its link in this entry, and describe what is found there

     An interesting website, that I found online that relates to biochemistry was ProteinLounge.  This website contained many amazing things related to protein. It has many protein pathways, fantastic animations, large database of proteins, and many other interactive software and tools.
    
     The interface of the website is clean and very easy to navigate.  The sample animation located under animation is a must see!!!  The only drawback to the website is that it cost quite a bit to subscribe as member.

Again the website is at:  http://www.proteinlounge.com/Default.aspx
