Study Resources for Macromolecules

[CrazCo]

Hi, does anyone know where to find nice study guides on the subject of macromolecules. I know I could Google, but I would prefer qualified webpages which I would need help finidng. Thanks!

I realize that I say nothing new, but wikipedia has lots of information. It also has references at the bottom of most pages that guide you to additional information.

It would help if you could state what you are interested in and what type of macromolecules.

there's a journal called macromolecules. They have some VERY good authors <polishes nails on lapels>

Carbohydrates and Lipids. Thanks!

Regarding carbohydrates:

Some keywords are: sugars, sugar polymers, starch, cellulose.

 

I am afraid that you'll still end up with wikipedia being one of the best sources of information...

 

The main problem with questions such as the one asked here is that the answer can be just a webpage (wikipedia) or a BSc + MSc + PhD combined.

We cannot choose which field you wish to study. And in addition, the people working in this field(s) will hardly ever use a website as reference. I know that in my personal field of science, it's either general Google info, or textbooks (made of dead trees). I wouldn't know how to direct anyone to a quality webpage for chemical engineering. (But I do know a good forum and wikipedia).

 

The next logical question is if you want to study the physical properties, the possible reactions, the way they function in life (that's biology and related fields), etc.

The better you know your keywords, the better your Google search.
