This electronic laboratory includes over 1700 images along with text and tutorials that demonstrate gross and microscopic pathologic findings associated with human disease states. There is a search engine available as well as ordering information for a Web-Path CD-ROM containing over 2300 images, over 2300 examination questions (including many extended matching questions), 27 case-based laboratory exercises, and 32 tutorials. The image quality is good and the text descriptions are complete and accurate. This is an excellent and technical educational resource.

CATH

The CATH database, maintained at University College London, provides a hierarchical domain classification of protein structures in the Brookhaven protein databank. The site's glossary - like BioTech a "work in progress" - may prove helpful for those new to the language of protein classification. On the other hand, if you are new to protein classifications then CATH may be too arcane for you.
