Note: The following two links are to electronic subscriptions held by the University of Arizona library system. Most or all of them are only accessible from computers at the University, or from off-campus computers using VPN--see References for more detail on VPN. The Science library list has a link to the more extensive list on its first page.
Science library list--many journals related to biochemistry and molecular biology
Arizona Health Sciences Library list -- journals more related to medicine; much overlap with the above, and many useful journals not in the Science Library list.
In almost all cases, you can download the article for viewing on your own computer, and for printing it out. To do this, you need Acrobat Reader; when you download an article in "PDF" format, it gives you a link to download Acrobat Reader if you don't have it already.
You usually can also save figures from the papers. In the few cases I've done this, I did so not by downloading a PDF file but downloading the text of the paper; then clicking on the figures, and using the SaveAs feature of the browser.
PubMed allows searches of over 19 million journal articles listed in MEDLINE, a database at the National Library of Medicine. This will pick up almost any paper relevant to biochemistry and molecular biology. In many cases, when you link to a particular paper there is a further link to the journal, and clicking on it will lead you to places where you can download the paper as above.
The Web of Knowledge allows you to find all the papers that have cited a particular paper. If you are interested in how the work described in a particular paper has developed later, this is a good place to start. It is accessed from University computers or off-campus computers via VPN (see above).
