Interactive Biochemistry LTE

Interactive Biochemistry brings together thirteen programs from the Educational Technology Laboratory (LTE), Institute of Biology, University of Campinas (Unicamp, Brazil), to study and teach biochemistry at university level: experiment simulators, animations of cellular processes and interactive books, used for years in courses of Biology, Medicine, Pharmacy, Nutrition, Physical Education and other health sciences. BIOENERGETICS • Electron transport chain — choose substrates and inhibitors and follow electrons and protons. • COM — an oxygraph on screen: mitochondria, substrates, inhibitors and uncouplers. • Glycolysis in action and Krebs cycle in action — build the pathways reaction by reaction. METABOLISM AND INTEGRATION • Metabolism in exercise and fasting — where the energy comes from in each situation. • Nutrition — nutrients, energy and food. • Insulin and leptin — obesity and hormonal signaling. • Muscle contraction — from muscle to myofilament, with proteins in 3D, the animated sarcomere and the biochemistry of exercise. PROTEINS AND ENZYMES • eProteins — amino acids and real proteins in 3D, structure and function (content in Portuguese). • Enzymes — structure, function and kinetics. • Enzyme kinetics — a virtual lab with test tubes and a stopwatch. SIGNALING AND OXIDATIVE STRESS • Cyclic AMP — the pathway from receptor to cellular response. • Free radicals — reactive oxygen species and antioxidant defenses. FOR STUDENTS AND TEACHERS • Works offline on iPhone and iPad. • In Portuguese, English and Spanish. • Continue where you left off and mark your favorite programs. • "For teachers" sheet in each program, with suggested classroom use. • Share a program with your class through social networks or e-mail. • No sign-up, no ads and no data collection. The programs are also available in the browser, on LTE-IB-Unicamp's BIOCHEMISTRY 30 years website.
