These notes cover pyruvate oxidation and the citric acid cycle in depth. They cover the enzymes/coenzymes necessary for the cycle to function, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex, covalent modification of the PDH complex, harvesting electrons for the cycle, and overall regulation of the citric acid cycle. There is also a mind map included to summarize the chapter.

This mind map covers Nitrogen Metabolism and the Urea Cycle, along with heme biosynthesis and important enzymes.

These notes cover nucleotide metabolism and the De Novo (synthetic) & Salvage pathways for purines and pyrimidines. They also cover ribonucleotide reductase. Included is a mind map summarizing the chapter.

This sheet lays out all of the amino acids you would need to know for a collegiate level biochemistry course. They are color coded and in order by their change and polarity.

These notes cover the basics of enzymes kinetics including: reaction rates, michaelis menten kinetics/enzymes, the lineweaver burk equation, kM and Kcat, Vmax, allosteric enzymes, feedback inhibition, and negative/positive effectors. Allosterics are a very important part of enzyme kinetics and you'll find lots of good information about that in these notes. A mind map is also included to help you better understand how all of the concepts come together,

These notes give a summary of gluconeogenesis. They cover the important steps, comparisons to glycolysis, and regulation.

These notes extensively cover the workings of the electron transport chain and oxidative phosphorylation. They cover all four complexes of the electron transport chain, the Q-cycle, the proton gradient, ATP synthase, the malate-aspartate shuttle, and regulation. There is also a mind map included that summarizes these two chapters.

These notes cover fatty acid degradation/oxidation. They cover odd-chain fatty acids, ketone body formation, and fatty acid metabolism as it relates to diabetes and starvation. There is also a mind map included that summarizes the important parts of the chapter.

These notes cover Fatty Acid synthesis in depth by stage. They also cover fatty acid synthesis regulation and the enzymes that are necessary in completing it (ie. acetyl CoA carboxylase II). There is also a mind map included to summarize the important parts of the chapter.
