Internet Self Assessment in Pharmacology (ISAP)
DESCRIPTION:ISAP is intended to be an integrated self-study guide in pharmacology. It has lecture outlines, exam questions with feedback, and information about 300 drugs. Lectures have (a) objectives, which link to the main text, a list of drugs, and figures and tables.

Web Site for Cardiovascular and Autonomic Pharmacology
DESCRIPTION:An excellent teaching site.
There are three major pathways or tracks in this site. These pathways provide different ways of learning and thinking about the same interrelated material. The structure function pathway presents information beginning at a gross anatomical level and proceeds to a molecular level while considering the effects, mechanisms and sites of action of the peripheral efferent nervous system on various organs cells, receptors, etc. The drug list database pathway presents information arranged according to prototype drugs. The virtual laboratory pathway presents information in the context of a simulated 'dog lab'. Various test drugs or procedures are administered to an anesthetized, 'virtual dog' and blood pressure (BP) responses are presented.

Programmed Problems in Pharmacology
DESCRIPTION:Questions in pharmacology. Each completion in the multiple choice questions is linked to an explanation. Topics covered include the pharmacokinetics of chloramphenicol, agents affecting the autonomic nervous system, general anesthetics, antibiotics, cardiovascular drugs, and pharmacological emergencies.

HyperPharm - USUHS
DESCRIPTION:This database of almost two thousand test questions in basic and clinical pharmacology is
used for study and review purposes. A variety of multiple-choice test formats are used,
including questions with graphic elements. For each possible student response, a
faculty-written comment appears telling the user why he or she got the question right or wrong.
The program allows the student user to write a comment about any of the questions while they
are working on the question bank.

p h a r m a - C A L - o g y
DESCRIPTION:Technology-based aids to teaching pharmacology. The aim of this project which originated in the Teaching and Learning Teacnology Programme funded by HEFCE, SHEFC, HEFCW and DENI is to deliver technology-based student-centred courseware to undergraduate pharmacology students by encouraging the implementation of existing material and by producing new courseware to fulfil identified needs. Some material is video-based but most is computer-based and written in Authorware with a small amount in Toolbook.
Minimum hardware is 486PC 25MHz 4MbRAM 16 colour VGA running Windows 3.1 or better with mouse. All the material delivers easily over a network or in softwindows. A small amount of material is availavle for Mac but the software generally delivers well in "softwindows".

Drug Information Problem Set - USUHS
DESCRIPTION:This problem-based teaching exercise is available as a text file called "PROBLEM.TXT". It
consists of a series of drug-related vignettes, followed by specific questions.Answering the
questions requires the students to use library-based, computerized drug information resources,
in particular Medline and Micromedex. The exercise is designed to acquaint the student with
the rich databases available to the physician, and to illustrate the usefulness of such
resources.

WebCAI - University of Kansas
DESCRIPTION:The material under WebCAI is presented according to the organization in Mosby's Ace the
Boards: Pharmacology (Editors: Enna, Gordon and Pazdernik). There is a menu with a large
number of topics in medical pharmacology. Not all of them are implemented, yet. Some of
them are for UK students only. They are mostly plain text and do not seem to take advantage
of current web facilities such links to other topics, extensive graphics, etc.
There is a calculator that allows you to enter various parameters such as type of dose (iv, po), amounts of drug, volume of distribution, etc. and then displays a curve representing blood levels.
Another menu items is Exams. It provides multiple choice questions and tells you if you got the correct answer or not. There is no feedback explaining correct or incorrect answers.

3D Eye -- Eye, iris, ciliary body, lens
DESCRIPTION:This is an animation which illustrates the anatomical relationships between the iris, ciliary
body, and lens. These relationships are difficult to understand with two dimensional
representations. The animation simply shows the relative positions of the organs by rotating an eye in 3D.

The animations are in both MPEG movie (1.0 Mb) and QT movie (1.8 Mb) formats.

Bacteriorhodopsin Animations
DESCRIPTION:These animations illustrate different three dimensional aspects of the crystal structure of
bacteriorhodopsin.

Bacteriorhodopsin without retinal. This model first rotates around the axis perpendicular to the membrane. A second rotation is shown which goes from a view through the cross section of the membrane through 90 degrees to a view down the binding pocket for retinal.
Available in MPEG movie (721 kb) and QT movie (1134 kb) formats.

Bacteriorhodopsin with retinal and its binding sites. This model is similar to the one above with a few additions. Retinal is shown covalently bound to the lysine in the 7th helix via a Schiff base. In addition, an aspartate residue is coded in red on the 3rd helix which forms an ionic bond with the cationic base. Available in MPEG movie (585 kb) and QT movie (945 kb) formats.

Folding Serpentine Receptor
DESCRIPTION:This is an animation which illustrates a hypothetical three dimensional representation of a
G-protein linked receptor being folded from the two dimensional flat representation seen in
many textbooks and articles. This animation is NOT based on reality but is simply meant to
convey a visual representation of the 3-dimensional nature of the protein.

The animation is a file in either MPEG movie (2.0 Mb) or QT movie (2.5 Mb) format.

Ion Channel Animations - U. Texas
DESCRIPTION:These animations illustrate different three dimensional aspects of ion channels.

Pentameric model. This model shows a simple 3D representation of how a pentameric assembly can form an ion channel through a membrane. Available in MPEG movie (159 kb) and QT movie (330 kb) formats.

Hexameric model. This model shows a simple 3D representation of how a hexameric assembly can form an ion channel through a membrane. Available in MPEG movie (170 kb) and QT movie (340 kb) formats.

Ligand-gated ion channel model. This model shows a 3D representation of a nicotinic acetylcholine ligand-gated ion channel. Available in MPEG movie (620 kb) and QT movie (1240 kb) formats.

Voltage-gating mechanism. This model shows a 3D representation of the S4 transmembrane domain of a voltage-gated ion channel embedded in a membrane.
Available in MPEG movie (132 kb) and QT movie (310 kb) formats.

Knowledges Objectives in Pharmacology
DESCRIPTION:It is the purpose of this document to identify the minimum essential knowledge in
pharmacology which every medical student trained as an undifferentiated physician must
have at the time of graduation from medical school. These knowledge objectives were
developed by a committee of the Association of Medical School Pharmacology Chairmen
(AMSP) charged with developing an essential knowledge base in pharmacology for medical
students.
