Protein Data BankRepository of information about the 3D structures of large biological molecules, including proteins and nucleic acids.
The BRENDA (BRaunschweig ENzyme DAtabase) enzyme portalBRENDA contains 2.7 million manually annotated data on enzyme occurrence, function, kinetics and molecular properties. Each enzyme is linked to primary literature references. BRENDA connects to 7 other databases to afford access to structural data.
Drug Information Portal (NIH)Hosted by the National Library of Medicine, this is a quick way to search or browse drugs by name or drug class. For each entry, you are linked to authoritative scientific articles, chemical structures and data, toxicological studies and reviewed biological and medical data.
ExplorEnz-The Enzyme DatabaseIt is the definitive list of 6,400, produced by the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (NC-IUBMB). Each entry has accepted name, synonyms of the enzyme, cross references to BRENDA, KEGG, MetaCyc and CAS registry number, literature reference and comments on cofactors etc. The search function allows you to find EC no. by a common enzyme name. Use the enzyme list as an Enzyme Nomenclature Book.
ExplorEnz is designed, developed and maintained for the IUBMB by Andrew McDonald (School of Biochemistry & Immunology, Trinity College, Dublin 2, Ireland)
Kirk-Othmer encyclopedia of chemical technologyIn the Reference section: TP9 .K54 2004. To scout out whether this PRINT set will have useful topics for you, search the Online version of Kirk-Othmer. You can do search by keywords but also good to browse by topic (left navigation) to pull up a list of interesting compounds in context. When you have determined that it is useful for you, come into the library and look at the article(s) by using the print index volume. We have 2 print editions and by looking through both editions, you often get MORE info than the online edition!
Kyoto Encylopedia of Gene and Genomes (KEGG) Pathway Data Base.KEGG PATHWAYS database has maps for metabolism. Use it as a reference chart, or branch out to other concepts and substances. For example, you can look up an enzyme and retrieve the 3D protein structure and also cross over to the primary literature in Pubmed.
The Merck Manual of Medical Information -- Professional EditionLast updated 2013. Explains disease etiology, symptoms, diagnosis, complications, treatment and prevention. Numerous sections for browsing, as well as normal values for clinical tests, and multimedia. The section on Infectious Diseases is especially relevant for this course.
MetaCyc Database of Metabolic PathwaysMetaCyc contains curated, experimentally-determined metabolic pathways and enzyme data extracted from primary research articles. The largest classes of information include biosynthesis of secondary metabolites and primary metabolites (amino acids, lipids) and degradation/utilization/assimilation among others. These pathways are from organisms from all domains of life.
ProteopediaProteopedia is an interactive resource that facilitates understanding the role of 3D protein structures have in their biological function http://proteopedia.org. Proteopedia is widely used in scientific research, in the preparation of papers for publication and teaching from secondary level to post-graduate.
PubChemPubChem, released in 2004, provides information on the biological activities of small molecules.
PubChem is organized as three linked databases These are PubChem Substance, PubChem Compound, and PubChem BioAssay. To find unique compounds, search PubChem Compound. Each record links to PubMed scientific literature and other biological and physical data.

The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics by Louis Sanford Goodman; Laurence L. Brunton; Bruce Chabner; Bjorn KnollmanThe landmark text in medical pharmacology is now in full color Includes DVD with image bank A Doody's Core Title for 2015! 4 STAR DOODY'S REVIEW! "This 12th edition of the most authoritative book in pharmacology is the best both in content and physical appearance....This edition of Goodman & Gilman's continues to be the most authoritative and widely used resource bridging the discipline of pharmacology with therapeutics. Moreover, readers will find this edition to be substantially improved from past editions in both content and physical appearance."--Doody's Review Service The most universally respected and read medical text in all of pharmacology, Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics represents the pinnacle of authority and accuracy in describing the actions and uses of therapeutic agents in relation to physiology and pathophysiology. Goodman & Gilman's careful balance of basic science and clinical application has guided thousands of practitioners and students to a clear understanding of the drugs essential to preventing, diagnosing, and treating disease. Enriched by a new full-color presentation and updated to reflect all critical new developments in drug action and drug-disease interaction, the twelfth edition includes more than 440 color illustrations depicting key principles and actions of specific pathways and therapeutic agents. The companion DVD includes all the images and tables in the text along with narrated animations. Goodman & Gilman's The Pharmacological Basis of Therapeutics, 12e is divided into nine sections, covering: General Principles Neuropharmacology Modulation of Cardiovascular Function Inflammation, Immunomodulation, and Hematopoiesis Endocrine Pharmacology Gastrointestinal Pharmacology Chemotherapy of Infectious Disease Chemotherapy of Neoplastic Diseases Special Systems Pharmacology More than a textbook, Goodman & Gilman's is a working template for the effective and rational prescribing of drugs in daily practice.

The Merck Index by Maryadele J. O'Neil (Editor)The Merck Index is the definitive reference work for scientists and professionals looking for authoritative information on chemicals, drugs and biologicals. It has been the leading source of information on chemical compounds for generations of scientists and professionals, selling over one million copies since its publication in 1889. The Merck Index contains over 10,000 monographs with information relating to compounds of significance in research, commerce and environmental impact. The 15th edition, available from Royal Society of Chemistry publishing for the first time, is fully revised and updated and contains over 500 new monographs. Over 35% of the existing entries have been updated since the last edition, molecular weights have been recalculated with the latest IUPAC standards and there are revised periodic table and atomic weight tables. The Merck Index is an essential reference for all scholarly and professional chemists, biochemists, pharmacists and toxicologists and of interest to students, teachers, academic libraries, academic researchers, information professionals, solicitors, journalists and government agencies. *The name THE MERCK INDEX is owned by Merck Sharp & Dohme Corp., a subsidiary of Merck & Co., Inc., Whitehouse Station, N.J., U.S.A., and is licensed to The Royal Society of Chemistry for use in the U.S.A. and Canada.

Metabolism of Drugs and Other Xenobiotics by Pavel Anzenbacher (Editor); Ulrich M. Zanger (Editor)A practice-oriented desktop reference for medical professionals, toxicologists and pharmaceutical researchers, this handbook provides systematic coverage of the metabolic pathways of all major classes of xenobiotics in the human body. The first part comprehensively reviews the main enzyme systems involved in biotransformation and how they are orchestrated in the body, while parts two to four cover the three main classes of xenobiotics: drugs, natural products, environmental pollutants. The part on drugs includes more than 300 substances from five major therapeutic groups (central nervous system, cardiovascular system, cancer, infection, and pain) as well as most drugs of abuse including nicotine, alcohol and "designer" drugs. Selected, well-documented case studies from the most important xenobiotics classes illustrate general principles of metabolism, making this equally useful for teaching courses on pharmacology, drug metabolism or molecular toxicology. Of particular interest, and unique to this volume is the inclusion of a wide range of additional xenobiotic compounds, including food supplements, herbal preparations, and agrochemicals.
