A biosystem, or biological system, is a group of molecules that interact in a biological system. One type of biosystem is a biological pathway, which can consist of interacting genes, proteins, and small molecules. Another type of biosystem is a disease, which can involve components such as genes, biomarkers, and drugs.</p><p><a href="http://www.lib.vt.edu/find/databases/B/biosystems-databases-from-nlm.html">Full record</a></p> Mon, 13 Sep 2010 11:42:13 -0400 http://www.lib.vt.edu/find/databases/B/biosystems-databases-from-nlm.html Chemical and physical properties Statistics and data sets Freely accessible databases http://www.lib.vt.edu/find/databases/B/bibliography-of-the-history-of-art-from-getty.html <div style=" width: 200px; float: left;"><div class="vt_img_left vt_small_img"> <span class="top"> </span> <span class="bottom"> </span> <img src="http://www.lib.vt.edu/images/databases/G/S_getty.jpg" alt="Getty" height="104px" width="185px" /> </div><img alt="This resource is freely accessible" class="dsp2" height="20" src="http://www.lib.vt.edu/images/L_free-database.gif" title="This resource is freely accessible" width="20" /></div><h2><span> <a href="http://library.getty.edu:7101/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&amp;PAGE=First" title="Bibliography of the History of Art from Getty" class="vt_link_url" onclick="pageTracker._trackPageview('http://library.getty.edu:7101/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?DB=local&amp;PAGE=First')" shape="rect">Bibliography of the History of Art from Getty</a> </span></h2><p>Includes two databases: <i>BHA</i> (Bibliography on the History of Art) and RILA (Répertoire de la litterature de l'art).
