Summary Description

Traditional laboratory classes in biochemistry frequently fail in two of their major objectives: providing data for interpretation, because the students’ results are too scattered to be amenable to useful interpretation; and providing experience in planning and designing experiments, because of the constraints of class time. The programs on this disc are intended to supplement or replace laboratory classes, although, of course for those who intend to progress to careers in experimental science real hands-on laboratory is obviously essential. This is a tailored version of the Biochemical Simulations suite of programs specially prepared for InterNICHE, the International Network for Human Education (http://www.interniche.org). It contains the complete suite of programs, and can be run directly from the CD. It does not contain the installation setup program to install the programs on a hard disc or network.

Summary
The CD-ROM “Biochemical Simulations” is an interesting alternative to some time-consuming assays, as well as, to human/animal discomfort experiments. The software is user-friendly and intuitive to use, the theoretical background is well presented and organised, and overall sufficient to understand the principle laying behind the assays....
