Lee, Rebecca K. Y.; Ng, Bernard Y. N.; Chen, Daisy M. H. – Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Education, 2019
Students always encounter difficulties in studying biochemical pathways. They are especially weak in understanding the relationships between metabolic pathways and their integration because these pathways are always taught one-by-one in class. In the past, various online resources have been developed to facilitate students' understanding toward…
