The Textbook may be reached through the Society Home page URL http://www.faseb.org/biophys/society/biohome.htm or directly http://biosci.cbs.umn.edu/biophys/OLTB/Textbook.html All of the teaching articles which have been published in Biophysical Journal are now available on the Web. Titles and authors are: * Teaching Molecular Biophysics at the Graduate Level Norma Allewell and Victor Bloomfield * Graduate Training in Cellular Biophysics Thomas D. Pollard * Teaching Electron Diffraction and Imaging of Macromolecules Wah Chiu, Michael F. Schmid, and B.V. Venkataram Prasad * Teaching High-Resolution Nuclear Magnetic Resonance to Graduate Students in Biophysics Laura Lerner and David A. Horita * Teaching Active Transport At the Turn of the Twenty-First Century: Recent Discoveries and Conceptual Changes Giuseppe Inesi * Teaching Medical Physics to General Audiences Suzanne Amador * Approaches to Teaching Fluorescence Spectroscopy Catherine Royer * XRayView: A Teaching Aid for X-Ray Crystallography George N. Phillips, Jr. * Teaching Computer Interfacing with Virtual Instruments in an Object-Oriented Language Miriam Gulotta * Calculation of Biochemical Net Reactions and Pathways by Using Matrix Operations Robert A. Alberty * Teaching Light Scattering Spectroscopy: The Dimension and Shape of Tobacco Mosaic Virus Nuno C. Santos and Miguel A.R.B. Castanho * Do's and Don'ts of Poster Presentation Stephen Block We also have a few sections of chapters written specially for various volumes of the On-Line textbook: * Intermolecular forces Electrodynamic (van der Waals) forces Adrian Parsegian * Thermodynamics Thermodynamics and Statistical Thermodynamics Victor Bloomfield * Nucleic Acids DNA condensation (This is also linked to the Supramolecular Assemblies volume.) Victor Bloomfield These articles and sections are in the form of pdf files which may be downloaded and viewed using the free Adobe Acrobat Reader. You may print them and distribute them to your students. Please check out these additions and give us your reactions.
