OPAL is an interactive system using computer technology and hypermedia principles to bring a revolutionary approach to learning and teaching. Information topics in cell-to-cell signalling spanning different disciplines is presented. There are no sequential and rigid patterns. Each user can browse freely and create his\her own knowledge trail. OPAL modules provide intuitive and easily remembered learning; use mouse activated icons and windows with senitive zones to access much more in-depth information, illustrations or text, establishing a personal path through the subjects according to interest; allow animations and experimental simulations in which the user can play an active role; include tests which give a detailed score of your knowledge and automatically prepare a revision programme. In the teacher version, lessons of any desired sequence can be made which can be projected on a large screen. The Question Maker allows the teacher to make up questions for knowledge evaluation and many more easy-to-use features.

Schweitzer Klassifikation
Calcium ions as messengers. Mechanisms involved in the action of Ca2+ as a messenger in an idealized cell. How voltage-dependent Ca2+ channels function. Calcium ionophores. Voltage-dependent Ca2+ channel antagonists. Phospholipase C and inositol-tri-phosphate (IP3) pathway. The smooth endoplasmic reticulum of certain cells stores C2+. The calciosomes are intracellular membrane bound Ca2+ storage vesicles. Calcium binding proteins have pockets with high affinity for Ca2+. Differences in the distribution of two calcium binding proteins in the cerebellum. Calcium binding proteins translate the Ca2+ information in a meaningful message to the cell. Calcium-dependent ion channels. The calpains are a group of Ca2+ activated enzymes. Role of calcium ions in neurotransmitters secretion. The function of troponin-C in muscle contraction. Calcium pumps extrude Ca2+ from the cytoplasm, thus terminating its action. Unregulated evaluation of the intracellular Ca2+ concentration is toxic to cells. Metabolism of calcium. Parathyroid hormone and Calcitonin. Vitamin D3. Bone. Measurement of Ca2+ concentration. Calcium-sensitive electrodes.
