| Summary: | <p class="p1">Introduction: Learning of biochemistry among other factors depends on create an</p> <p class="p1">educational environment favorable to the reality of the students and offer better</p> <p class="p1">educational tools for the teachers. Objective: The goal of this hypermedia is to motivate</p> <p class="p1">and strengthen the students learning about the metabolism of fructose. Materials And</p> <p class="p1">Methods:This work presents the development of a biochemical hypermedia to</p> <p class="p1">understanding of the fructose metabolism. It was developed with the help of concept</p> <p class="p1">maps, ISIS Draw, ADOBE Photoshop and FLASH MX Program. Results and Discussion:</p> <p class="p1">A step by step animation process shows the enzymatic reactions of three pathways of the</p> <p class="p1">fructose metabolism (principal route-fructokinase, sorbitol and hexokinase</p> <p class="p1">pathways).There are navigation guide that allow scrolling the mouse over the names of the</p> <p class="p1">components of enzymatic reactions of via the metabolism of fructose. Thus, explanatory</p> <p class="p1">text box, chemical structures and animation of the actions of enzymes appear to navigator.</p> <p class="p1">Upon completion of the module, the user’s response to the proposed exercise can be</p> <p class="p1">checked immediately through text box with interactive content of the answer.</p> <p class="p1">Conclusion:This hypermedia was presented for undergraduate students (UFSC). Its use</p> <p class="p1">allowed to users to reach the goal of understanding of the subject independently of their</p> <p class="p1">agility or background, since it was possible to each student navigate through the</p> <p class="p1">hypermedia according with his individual rhythm and <span class="s1">as many times as needed</span>.</p> <p class="p1">Interactive hypermedia is proving to be</p>
