  1. Exploring the MAP web-site Shuchismita Dutta March 2006

  2. The Molecular Anatomy Project • What is it? • Integrated view of a biological system • Who is it for? • General users, educators, students and researchers. • How does it work? • Select an organ system to explore • Read narrative version of how it functions • Browse through brief accounts of the molecules that participate in the functioning (enzyme, hormone etc.) • Why is it important? • Provides integrated view • Comparison of molecules with similar sources and/or functions • Gateway into PDB for users not familiar with structural biology or with the specific organ system

  3. The human digestive system • Where: Anatomical view of digestion • organ system, organ, cell • How: Physiological view of digestion • membrane potentials, muscle contractions in peristalsis • hormone control, feedback control • What: Biochemical view of digestion • digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, lipids by enzymes, cofactors • What if: Common diseases • Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM) • Integrated molecular view of digestion in MAP

  4. Where does it happen? Organ System Cells Organ http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/silverthorn2/medialib/Image_Bank/html/custom20.html

  5. How does it happen? Membrane Potential Muscle contraction http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/silverthorn2/medialib/Image_Bank/html/custom20.html

  6. What happens in digestion? Digestion of protein Digestion of carbohydrates http://cwx.prenhall.com/bookbind/pubbooks/silverthorn2/medialib/Image_Bank/html/custom20.html
