Tips for effective searching
    Be persistent in your searching.
    Try both singular and plural forms of words (use a "+" sign in GenSciAbs to search both singular and plurals e.g. enzyme+).
    Search on a specific name of yeast, (e.g. Saccharomyces).
    Use the following subject searches: fermentation and yeast.
    Add in terms like rate or concentration or specific substrates to narrow searches.
    Try synonyms like glycolysis or anaerobic.
    Keep trying various search combinations as keywords and/or subjects.

ACS (American Chemical Society)
Limit search to the journal title "Biochemistry" under the advanced search options. Change the default search from "Author" to "Titles and abstracts" and add in significant keyword terms.
