Description
Summary:The Internet is a massive expanding body of information, which is likely to play a significant role for clinical Biochemists and researchers in patient health care across the world. This expansion has been matched by an increase in the number of individuals using the Internet. Since its inception in December 1969 the Internet has grown rapidly and is anticipated to expand 100% in the coming next few years. This review illustrates to the Biochemists many uses of the Internet and hopefully provides a useful resource for professional and personal use. To explain the origin, functions, use and impact of the Internet and to provide a list of important website addresses related to Biochemistry. We undertook a detail scan of the Internet and identified a large number of websites pertaining to Biochemistry. The sites were then thoroughly searched to evaluate their potential usefulness to Biochemists, clinicians and researchers. This overview of the Internet and a compilation of important web-site addresses are expected to stimulate and inculcate Biochemists in the use of the web in teaching, training and research.
