Hi, April's Molecule of the Month is beta-Carotene, the pigment that provides the yellow/orange colour in leaves, carrots and margarine. It has been written by Martha Evens, who is an undergraduate student at Bristol, as part of her web project in preparation for the Exemplarchem competition last year. Versions are available for HTML-only and Chime. http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm#apr2002 Regards, ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Dr Paul May, School of Chemistry, University of Bristol, UK tel: +44 (0)117 928-9927 fax: +44 (0)117 925-1295 <mailto:paul.may@bris.ac.uk> Mobile: 07811371539 Home URL: <http://www.bris.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/staff/pwm.htm> Molecule of the Month: <http://www.bristol.ac.uk/Depts/Chemistry/MOTM/motm.htm> "Cyanide is so poisonous that one drop of it on a dog's tongue will kill the strongest man" ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
