In this Click & Learn, students explore the process of digestion and how it connects to metabolism and cellular respiration. 

This interactive module allows students to use DNA profiling and related biological concepts to solve two cases of elephant poaching.

This tutorial describes the structure and function of the cancer-causing protein BCR-ABL. It also shows how drugs targeting this protein can help treat chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a cancer of the white blood cells.

This model shows the structure of the protein BCR-ABL, which causes a type of cancer called chronic myeloid leukemia.

This model shows a mutated form of the cancer-causing protein BCR-ABL that is resistant to the drug Gleevec.

This model shows the structure of ATP, a molecule that provides energy for cellular processes, including protein phosphorylation.

This tutorial describes the principles of DNA sequencing and sequence assembly, and shows how they apply to different sequencing techniques.

This tutorial describes how DNA microarrays called Virochips are designed to detect known viruses and discover new ones.

This tutorial describes the various forms of “fat” — from a tissue, to a cell type, to a class of molecules.

This tutorial explores how fat is digested, transported, stored, and used for energy.

This tutorial describes the structure and function of the p53 protein, how its activity is regulated in cells, and how mutant versions of p53 can lead to cancer.

This tutorial explains how scientists analyze and interpret the large data sets generated by DNA microarrays.
