These notes cover the inner workings of glycolysis. They cover each step of glycolysis and the enzymes that are involved in each, along with some of the inhibitors. These notes also cover the concept of high transfer potential, substrate level phosphorylation, lactic acid fermentation, energy charge as it relates to glycolysis, and responses in the liver.

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

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.

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.

These notes cover cholesterol synthesis and cholesterol metabolism by stages. They cover regulation, lipoproteins, receptor mediated endocytosis, and other mechanisms relating to cholesterol. 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.
