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 phones and tablets.
- 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.
- No sign-up, no ads and no data collection.
The programs also run in the browser, on the BIOQUÍMICA +30 website.
