Please cite and/or make acknowledgement of author and url publisher of pages linked to below. These are eclectic links, from impeachable sources, and as good a starting place as any for a voyage of discovery if you are intrigued by science, technology and nature.

A

American Association for the Advancement of Science.

Aliphatic hydrocarbons [Difficulty level is advanced. HG.]

TOP


B

Bioinformatics. Recommended just to get some basic, but evolving concepts. Helen Gavaghan.

Bragg's Law.

TOP


C

Carbohydrates.

Cell lines, a project from the Sanger Institute.

Chemistry.
Some definitions and source material from the Gold book,
published by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry.

E

Eigen values and eigen vectors. A math concept important in matrices, and relevant to exploring the structure and dynamics of molecular biophysics, among other fields of science. A book chapter on the website of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

Electromagnetic radiation. Take a look at this useful graphic of spectrum wavelenghths, energy range and wavenumbers.
Accessed by Helen Gavaghan. 30.10.2021.

Electron microscopy, a facility which is part of Leeds University school of biology and of the Astbury department of structural molecular biology. When I read biophysics at Leeds, and electron microscopy was my fourth year second semester project, it was the Astbury department of biophysics. Unabashed favouritism by me because I studied biophysics at this department from 1976-1980. HG.

Exponents. The University of Pittsburgh.

F

Fluorescence - in biological experiments, and fluorescence in flow cytometry, with a nice explanation of flow cytometry, data collection, data representation and analysis. Provided by industry. Industry websites can also be a safe source for quite a lot of basic science ideas, exploration and learning. HG. 30.10.2021.

Functions. From a chapter in a maths resource [2010] created by British University lecturers to help transition from school to University, and as a revision tool. Accessed 30.10.2021.

Genetics.

Genetics, an introduction to Mendelian genetics, provided by North Dakota State University.
