EVERY SINGLE METABOLIC PATHWAY YOU NEED TO KNOW FOR BIOCHEMISTRY MCAT IN 30 MINUTES!!!

[@FirstLast-sb8fl]

I've taken biochem, sat in on biochem classes, and have been in an MCAT prep course and this was the BEST EXPLANATION I have ever had on these processes. I knew bits and pieces but this guy explained them in a way that had everything just click. I feel so empowered now! Biochem is amazing!

[@luxuryviolet]

0:00 - Glycolysis 0:29 - Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA by PDC (pyruvate dehydrogenase complex) 0:43 - Krebs Cycle, Citric Acid Cycle 1:11 - Central Metabolism 1:29 - Why go through central metabolism? ATP!! 1:53 - Reduced cofactors (more ATP through ETC) → ATPs for cells to survive 2:19 - Other monosaccharides can enter central metabolism 2:57 - What about Proteins (amino acids)? Glucogenic & Ketogenic AAs 4:23 - Excess nitrogens → Urea Cycle (in Liver) 5:58 - What about Fatty Acids? Beta-Oxidation (reduced cofactors & acetyl-CoA produced) 7:13 - Reversible Glycolysis → Gluconeogenesis 7:35 - Irreversible Reaction: Pyruvate to Acetyl-CoA 7:52 - Gluconeogenesis (genesis of new glucose molecules) 8:15 - Sources of carbons for glucose (for gluconeogenesis): lactate, glycerol 9:00 - Alpha-keto acids as a source of carbons for glucose? NOPE (Acetyl-CoA enters TCA cycle) 9:31 - Can we take proteins/amino acids to form glucose? Depends (Glucogenic vs. Ketogenic AAs) 12:05 - Using fatty acids to form glucose? Acetyl-CoA? No, BUT last 3-carbon molecules can be converted to glucose 12:40 - Importance of Acetyl-CoA (for fatty acid synthesis, phospholipids, triacylglycerides) 13:37 - Fed State (excess carbs & proteins stored as triacylglycerides) 15:04 - Serine + Palmitic Acid → sphingosine backbone → cerimide → sphingomyelin/cerebroside/ganglioside) 16:05 - Fasted State (breakdown of triacylglycerides) 16:54 - Fasted State (ketogenesis in liver): 3 Acetyl Co-A molecules converted to HMG-CoA 17:33 - Why forming ketoacids? (ketolysis: ketoacids to acetyl-CoA to enter TCA Cycle) 18:15 - HMG-CoA can be converted to Isoprene → build larger molecules (Fed State) 19:07 - Biosynthesis of Cholesterol 19:26 - Cholesterol used to create hormones 20:16 - Biosynthesis of amino acids 22:09 - Importance of Serine (Folate cycle, Methionine cycle; SAM - universal methyl donor) 23:20 - PAPS (universal sulfur donor) 23:55 - Glycosylation (monosaccharides from intermediates of glycolysis) 25:32 - Pentose Phosphate Pathway (PPP) 25:50 - NADPH cofactors - electron donor to build bond during anabolism 26:14 - Reduced glutathione (endogenous anti-oxidant) 27:21 - Free radicals produced from ETC 28:46 - Biosynthesis of nucleic acids 30:02 - Degradation of nucleic acids 30:47 - Biosynthesis of nuerotransmitters 32:05 - Biosynthesis of porphyrin ring (used for hemoglobin, myoglobin, cytochrome, ETC) 32:44 - Big picture - see the forest! (links in the description box for each pathway in detail) 33:22 - Limitations to central metabolism: Essential Vitamins (must be obtained from diet) 34:04 - Essential Minerals (must be obtained from diet) 34:42 - Our limitations to central metabolism - final note El fin! Now go get that 528 you guys 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

Man, you have no idea how much you helped me with my mid-term exam tomorrow. I haven't even watched the video yet, but I can already say thank you.

[@momenakhatoon5996]

Not ONE college-level textbook ever explained the relationship between cellular metabolism all in one scoop. sure they gave you ONE diagram with vague descriptions, but they never connected it as a whole mechanism like you. It's really easier to understand the role of cellular respiration taking into consideration proteins/fatty acids/and sugars. THANK YOU SO MUCH for the time and dedication to this video, you explained all these really way and simplified (w/o dumbing it down) :)

Instead of a biochemistry class, the professor should give every student 1 semester to watch this video at their own pace and ask whatever questions they want about it. Then at the end a final exam going over the content

I am not sure why i think this way! I really think if you can just do 3 of this videos on Biochem, you will be my Biochem textbook and reference source. Esp for those prepping for professional school exams. Biochem needs to be taught by people like you who can help students make meaning and relevance out of them. Without this simplification and connection to the cell as a whole, Biochem becomes unnecessarily complex, irrelevant, and difficult. Thank you sir. You are great.

This videos purpose is to relate all the pathways, but does not go into enough detail on each individual pathway to be sufficient for the MCAT.
