The database is a work in progress.
Information is added as it is developed or contributed.
A description follows. The Bio-Molecular Chemical Data Base is intended for the educational use of students and faculty. Although it primarily contains chemical, structural and chemically related information, the goal is to develop an interdisciplinary resource aimed at an audience who shares an interest in the interrelationships of chemicals with living organisms and their impact on society. The bio-molecular image in the upper left corner of this page is a RasMol graphic developed from a pdb file of acetylcholinesterase, a key enzyme which effectively regulates neurotransmission through the cleavage of acetylcholine to choline and acetic acid. The visualization shows the alpha helices in red and the beta sheets of the protein in blue.
