Internet Resources The internet possesses a variety of web sites geared toward undergraduates studying chemistry. Provided below are some links that can serve as useful starting points for learning more about chemistry. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Resources for Chemistry Instruction The Ultimate O-Chem Links Page This web site, created by Prof. N.J. Turro of Columbia University and Prof. Ron Rusay of Diablo Valley College/U.C. Berkeley, contains links to learning resources for organic chemistry students. The links are conveniently arranged by topic. This page is highly recommended for O-Chem students taking a first semester organic chemistry course. Amino Acids A very fast web page containing a listing of amino acids, their structures, formulas, and abbreviations. Also, users have the option of downloading the AAs in ".mol" format. Global Instructional Chemistry A site with 35 links to sites that offer chemistry instruction on the web!!! MathMol Home Page Some structures and movies on molecular modeling. Molecule Archives in PDB Format Many organic and biochemistry related compounds can be downloaded from this site and viewed using freeware programs such as RasMol. Just type in the name or partial name of the molecule of interest to initiate the search. Organic Compounds Database A searchable database of over 2000 organic compounds including numerous physical property data as well as spectroscopic data. The world wide web component of this database was created by Professor Tom Shattuck of Colby College. Periodic Table of the Elements An easy to use periodic table with fundamental property information for each element. Fundamental Physical Constants This document gives the values of the basic constants and conversion factors of physics and chemistry. Abbreviations of Chemical Compounds Type in the abbreviation of a chemical compound (for example: THF ) and let this web page find its full name for you. Acronyms Database Type in any acronym, especially chemistry related ones (for example: DEPT ) and let this web page find its full name for you. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Laboratory Resources NMR Information Server Many links to NMR related sites. Material Safety Data Sheets An extensive database of online MSDS web sites. Fischer Scientific Catalog listings which are complete electronic versions of their printed counterparts. Each catalog offers an intuitive table-of-contents navigation tool, full-text searches, as well as part number, page number, and manufacturer searches. Almost 100,000 quality Fisher Scientific products and 10,000 images are represented here in over 3,000 catalog pages. An MSDS database is also integrated into the Fisher Chemical catalog. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Summer Research Opportunities Undergraduate Summer Research Opportunities A listing of summer research opportunities (nation-wide) for undergraduates. Though not an extensive list, it's a good start for those looking to do research and get paid for it. Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) A program of the National Science Foundation which provides summer research opportunities for undergraduates at top-notch institutions. Many disciplines are supported including CHEMISTRY, biology, physics, etc. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Miscellaneous Links Internet Web Directory The internet's fastest growing directory of the best web sites. Fully searchable and updated regularly. See especially their "chemistry" links under the heading "Science and Technology" ACS Web Page This is the home page of the American Chemical Society. The ACS is the largest professional organization in the scientific community with over 150,000 members. The ACS has countless roles in the chemical community, and all those intending to pursue careers in chemistry are urged to join. Visit this web page to see what they're all about. UCLA WWW Virtual Chemistry Library An extensive list of chemistry web pages. Very well done.
