WWW Chemistry Links: If you can't find what you're looking for here, you might try these other collections of chemistry-related links.
Chemistry Course Materials: Looking for an explanation of corrosion? Or maybe a crash course on organic nomenclature? The links in this section are devoted to courses and course topics at the secondary and lower division university level.
Chemical Data: These links will never replace the CRC or Beilstein, but there is some (free) data available out there.
Chemical Structure Libraries: Some of these libraries contain just a few specialized structures, but many are very impressive in their breadth. Most require the Chime plug-in
Chemistry Journals, Usenet groups and Listservers: Listed here are journals and discussion groups of primary interest to secondary and college level teachers. General science journals are in the Miscellaneous section below.
Chemistry Software and Multimedia: These are just a few of the many things out there that I have found useful in the classroom.
Miscellaneous Chemistry/Science Links: Odds and ends that didn't quite fit the above categories. Some are just for fun!

The 2006 Nobel Prize in Chemistry has been awarded to Roger D. Kornberg of Stanford University, California, USA "for his studies of the molecular nature of eukaryotic transcription".

For a direct link to the official announcement from the Nobel Committee (along with background information on the prize winners and their research) click here.

"Kornberg's contribution has culminated in his creation of detailed crystallographic pictures describing the transcription apparatus in full action in a eukaryotic cell. In his pictures (all of them created since 2000) we can see the new RNA-strand gradually developing, as well as the role of several other molecules necessary for the transcription process. The pictures are so detailed that separate atoms can be distinguished and this makes it possible to understand the mechanisms of transcription and how it is regulated."
