Purpose

    This webpage aims to facilitate the teaching and learning of Biochemistry content and related fields within the framework of Reproducible Education (RE) with Open Educational Resources (OER). It provides self-directed learning materials that integrate topic exploration with the execution of freely available software. These software tools, including R, RStudio, Jmol, and Sisma, offer functionalities for generating graphs, analyses, tables, simulations, and animations. Notably, Sisma, developed at UNIFAL-MG (Brazil), allows for dynamic observation of responses and metabolic networks.

Toolbox

    The softwares were selected for their nature as Open Educational Resources (OER), meaning they are freely available and adaptable for teaching. Additionally, we value flexibility and the ability to expand their functionalities to suit different teaching styles and needs. A user-friendly learning curve and intuitive design ensure ease of use for both instructors and students. Interactive elements further enhance engagement and promote active participation. Finally, seamless installation or web browser accessibility removes technical barriers, while broad applicability guarantees suitability for various teaching formats (in-person, remote, hybrid, or distance learning) and research projects.

    Alternatively, users can access some diverse content on Biochemistry topics from the textbook Bioquímica básica, de gente, de bicho, e de planta (ISBN: 978-65-00-90366-9), in Portuguese.
