The discussion highlights a desire for engaging resources in biochemistry, particularly focusing on current topics and research. The journal PNAS is recommended for its special features that cover a variety of interests related to biochemistry and biological sciences, with many articles available for free online. Additionally, PubMed Central is mentioned as a valuable resource for accessing a wide range of biological and biomedical journals, including links to federally supported manuscripts. The conversation encourages sharing specific interests to find more tailored resources.

This forum has led me to read a lot of Physics and Math, but I would like to read some exciting things about the going ons in Biochemistry. Would anyone mind helping me?
The journal PNAS regularly runs special features on current topics of wide and varied interest on a somewhat regular basis, and a fair number of them are heavily or reasonably intertwined with "hot topics" in biochemistry and biological sciences as a whole. They are freely available online, and are mostly a combination of review articles and original research. If you're interested, you can check out their list of special features http://www.pnas.org/misc/special.shtml".

http://www.pubmedcentral.nih.gov/" . A free archive of biological, biomedical, and related health care journals at the NIH. It also has links to author manuscripts to articles published in journals not archived there but supported by federal research grants from the NIH.
If you have any particular interests, we might be able to pass along more appropriate and focused links.

I am reading Nicholas Wade's book A Troublesome Inheritance. Please let's not make this thread a critique about the merits or demerits of the book. This thread is my attempt to understanding the evidence that Natural Selection in the human genome was recent and regional.
On Page 103 of A Troublesome Inheritance, Wade writes the following: "The regional nature of selection was first made evident in a genomewide scan undertaken by Jonathan Pritchard, a population geneticist at the...
I use ethanol for cleaning glassware and resin 3D prints. The glassware is sometimes used for food. If possible, I'd prefer to only keep one grade of ethanol on hand.
I've made sugar mash, but that is hardly the least expensive feedstock for ethanol. I had given some thought to using wheat flour, and for this I would need a source for amylase enzyme (relevant data, but not the core question).
I am now considering animal feed that I have access to for 20 cents per pound. This is a...
