Medicine (A100)

University of Cambridge (Medicine 1st class): Summary of key points of HR (Human Reproduction) Genomic Imprinting lecture for 2nd year.

Carbohydrate Metabolism Regulation of Glycolysis Gluconeogenesis Kerb’s Cycle Citric Acid Cycle Fatty acid oxidation and synthesis Amino Acid Metabolism Oxidative phosphorylation Integration of metabolic pathways across organs

University of Cambridge (Medicine 1st class): Flowchart for identifying bacteria based on gram-stain, shape, aerobics, etc for BoD (Biology of Disease) practicals for 2nd year.

Clear and concise diagrams that show all of the ways in which metabolic processes such as Glycolysis, the Krebs / TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis, fatty acid metabolism / synthesis and amino acid metabolism are all regulated. All of the diagrams shows the ways in which these processes are activated and inhibited and are easy to follow while not skipping on any details.

Diagrams showing the inner workings of the cell cycle and how different factors influence its rate of progression. Using a flowchart, these diagrams show all of the details of the cell cycle in a more digestible manner so you can get a better understanding of this topic

Regulation of glycolysis and the TCA cycle showing how they link and all of the relevant regulatory details

Concise diagramatic summary of the regulation of fatty acid metabolism and synthesis

Objectives: 1. To introduce biological macromolecules. 2. To understand the structure of protein molecules and how protein structure determines protein function. 3. To introduce the thermodynamics of chemical reactions and show how enzymes enable these reactions to proceed. 4. To understand how the structure of an enzyme molecule determines its catalytic function. 5. To understand the different mechanisms for the control of enzyme activity and the importance of these control mechanism in ce...

Objectives of the lectures 1. To give an overview of diabetes, a very common disease that manifests itself in abnormalities of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. 2. To illustrate how the study of biology at a molecular level is fundamental to understanding the causes, symptoms, diagnosis and effective treatment of disease. 3. To provide an overview of the main topics covered in the first term's lectures, and to introduce some terminology, within the context of diabetes.
