Biological and Chemical Sciences

"With more than 1,000,000 human-edited definitions, Acronym Finder is the world's largest and most comprehensive dictionary of acronyms, abbreviations, and initialisms."

Provides in-depth information on 112 known chemical elements. Basic information, more geared for high school students but useful for non-majors.

PubChem provides information on the biological activity of small molecules. It consists of three databases, comprising over 69 million substances, 27 million unique structures, and 434,000 bioassays.

The Macromolecular Modeling Database, along with several tools that allow comparison with known protein sequences and prediction of interaction sites, among other computationally-intensive tasks. A good resource for chemistry, biochemistry, and bioinformatics.

Hosted at Rutgers University, "The NDB contains information about experimentally-determined nucleic acids and complex assemblies. Use the NDB to perform searches based on annotations relating to sequence, structure and function, and to download, analyze, and learn about nucleic acids."
