Find Articles

We suggest you start with using the EBSCOHost Databases for finding basic research articles. A few sample searches and sample articles found in the database are listed below. There are many more databases! See the Biology Research Guide, or please contact me or the librarians at Morris Library. Note: if you can't find an article online or in print at the library, please contact me.

Sample searches:

amylase and inhibitors and plants
- (On results screen: check the Scholarly, Peer-reviewed Journal limit on the left side)
- If the PDF is not available, use the Find Full Text or Linked Full Text options

carbohydrates and amylase and temperature
- (On results screen: check the Scholarly, Peer-reviewd Journal limit on the left side)

Find Books

Use the Morris Library catalog to find books and other resources. Search by broad topic and then limit by format type including electronic books (see the right hand-hand column of the search results screen). You may limit to SIUC only if you choose (this works for electronic books). However, you will find more materials if you use the "All I-Share Libraries" search, although you won't be able to request ebooks. You may also change the search type from relevance to newest. If you are unable to request an item from I-Share, ask me or Ask A Librarian about requesting it using a different interlibrary loan system.

Here are some sample search terms:

Book Examples

Starch by Yasunori Nakamura (Editor)
Call Number: eBook, Click the title for access
ISBN: 9784431554950
Publication Date: 2015
This book provides a detailed overview of the current understanding of the metabolic system of starch biosynthesis and degradation in plants. The focus is on new topics regarding the functional interaction between multiple enzymes and the initiation process of starch biosynthesis, which are essential for further understanding of related metabolic features. The book also explains and discusses the distinct structures of amylopectin and amylose and the crystalline structure of starch granules. At the same time, readers will be made aware of areas where further research remains to be done, such as the regulation of starch metabolism, the fine structure of starch molecules, and the manipulation of the structure and functional properties of starch by genetic and molecular technology. Also described are aspects of the biosynthetic machinery of starch, the structure and metabolism of which have developed and been refined during the process of plant evolution. In addition, recent approaches to producing novel starches with distinct physicochemical and functional properties in gene-modified mutants and transgenic plants for industrial applications are introduced. Finally, the book elaborates on the unresolved topics, necessary approaches and future prospects to achieve a complete understanding of the regulation of starch metabolism. This volume is of great value for general scientists, students and anyone wishing to understand the specific and complicated events of starch metabolism and biotechnology. It will be especially useful for food scientists and engineers in academia and industry.
Methods for Analysis of Carbohydrate Metabolism in Photosynthetic Organisms by Horacio G. Pontis
Call Number: eBook, Click the title for access
ISBN: 9780128034033
Publication Date: 2016
Methods for Analysis of Carbohydrate Metabolism in Photosynthetic Organisms: Plants, Green Algae and Cyanobacteria examines both general and detailed aspects of carbohydrate metabolism in photosynthetic organisms, along with the four main oligosaccharides and each enzymatic reaction that gives birth to them. Chapters include information on how biological active protein is extracted for different cells, determination of enzymatic activity, separation of proteins by different available methods, and descriptions of analytical methods for the determination of various types of carbohydrates in photosynthetic organisms. The book contains useful protocols for researchers working on the determination of carbohydrate metabolism. The book provides foundational content as well as step-by-step guidance on how to design and conduct an experiment, including what other methodologies could be used if advanced instruments are not readily available. Includes a variety of analytical methods and how to apply the methods using examples from specific case studies Discusses technical information on how to characterize plant carbohydrates and sugar nucleosides Contains easy-to-follow protocols with detailed explanations for self-guidance Provides foundational content as well as step-by-step guidance on how to design and conduct an experiment

About CSE Style
