Graham, Ian – Journal of Biological Education, 1985
Discusses a simulation on enzyme kinetics based upon the ability of computers to generate random numbers. The program includes: (1) enzyme catalysis in a restricted two-dimensional grid; (2) visual representation of catalysis; and (3) storage and manipulation of data. Suggested applications and conclusions are also discussed. (DH)

Goodridge, Frank – Journal of Biological Education, 1983
Describes two computer programs (BASIC for 32K Commodore PET) for teaching protein synthesis. The first is an interactive test of base-pairing knowledge, and the second generates random DNA nucleotide sequences, with instructions for substitution, insertion, and deletion printed out for each student.

Rasch, Robert W. – Physiologist, 1983
Describes a computer program designed to simulate the regulation of acid-base balance, emphasizing regulatory compensations involved in the total process. Includes discussion of equations involved, a sample run of the program, and program listing (MicroSoft Basic). (JN)

House, James E. – Personal Computing, 1982
Discusses the role and use of microcomputers in scientific research, from monitoring instruments to controlling experimental processes. Included are descriptions of a computer-controlled protein sequencer and gene synthesizer, and microcomputer uses in medicine, physiology, biochemistry, and geology. (JN)

Peterson, Julian A.; Meister, Lynn L. – Technological Horizons in Education, 1983
Describes a test item bank developed by the Association for Medical School Departments of Biochemistry (Texas). Programs (written in Pascal) allow self-evaluation by interactive student access to questions randomly selected from a chosen category. Potential users of the system (having student, manager, and instructor modes) are invited to contact…

Boyle, Joseph, III; Robinson, Gloria – BioScience, 1987
Describes a microcomputer program that can be used in teaching the basic physiological aspects of acid-base (AB) balance. Explains how its game format and graphic approach can be applied in diagnostic and therapeutic exercises. (ML)

Gelpi, Josep Lluis; Domenech, Carlos – Biochemical Education, 1988
Describes a program which allows students to identify and characterize several kinetic inhibitory mechanisms. Uses the generic model of reversible inhibition of a monosubstrate enzyme but can be easily modified to run other models such as bisubstrate enzymes. Uses MS-DOS BASIC. (MVL)

Bungay, H. R. – Chemical Engineering Education, 1986
Describes a course in biochemical engineering fundamentals which relies heavily on the use of personal computers. The computers are used with interactive tutorials, problems that require computer simulations of differential equations, and homework assignments. A list of computer assignments and student term projects is included. (TW)
