All memorization, med school 1972-73, first year. Now retired fully. I never used most of the biochem. Still unconvinced of the need to force students to memorize this. What would happen if biochem exams were given open book format. My field was Radiation Oncology. Physics was really important, biochem less so.
@neilsherman26803 ай бұрын
Note the 20 positive responses. The biochem reactions just happen unless toxic substances block key reactions. Still think this is worth testing, but open book format preferrred, not numbing memorization. In the toxicology portion of pharmacology(usually 2nd year), relevant, clinically useful biochem is presented, sometimes. Teaching of first year med school is in serious need of a curriculum overhaul, IMHO.
@ingothitrust5248Ай бұрын
I am a prospective med student myself, but I have many colleagues who finished med school recently and most of them agree that with Biochem, there are only really 3 to 4 pathways you should know and the rest is just overkill......

And another way to remember the NADH and FADH2 synthesis location on the cycle is to notice how the enzymes are all dehydrogenases, and if you just memorize succinate dehydrogenase is the one that makes FADH2, then the rest make NADH !! Over all great series though man.
@Its_semio3 жыл бұрын
That how I'm remembering it. And if you keep forgetting which one is FADH2, just remember: "it succs to get a F" haha!

instead of remembering they are in the middle of the alphabet, you can take note that the all start with letters that occur between N and H (I, K, M). So NadH producing dehydrogenases are between N and H, super easy!
