A short animation about the leptin feedback control system. Demonstrates how changes in the amount of fat tissue lead to changes in leptin levels and thus changes in appetite.

Journey into DNA – animation

Molecules Gone Wild

 

Wiley Interactive Animations: A few are useful during the biochemistry unit. The Amino Acids game might be fun for a more advanced class. And the Enzyme specificity animation is pretty good too!

 

Hydrogen bonding in water: this animation is simple but effective at showing that hydrogen bonds in water form and fall apart quickly as water molecules bounce around.

Protein Folding and Levels of Protein Structure: simple animation but it really shows the primary, secondary, tertiary, and quarternary structure well. Sometimes simple is better than complex.

Another protein folding and protein structure animation: this one is a little more advanced but great to see after the above.

If you get to enzyme kinetics in your biology class  this animation can tie in what they learned in general chemistry about kinetics

Protein denaturation: Great animation to show how denaturing proteins changes their structure and function.
