I have been fascinated with the inner workings of life's molecular machinery since I opened my first book on the subject. He stressed understanding the structure-function relationship of biomolecules. Root causes for diseases and genetic disorders are being uncovered rapidly as we gain more understanding of this relationship. DNA research has opened up tons of new exciting applications.
Biotechnology has some interesting applications.
There are many sites that help us keep up with this rapidly expanding field. Below are some fun sites to start with. Home of the Biochemistry Department at OSU located in the beautiful Noble Research Center. Biology Animation Library Great educational pages from the Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. Several interactive shockwave tutorials explain DNA science concepts.
