Metabolism Mnemonics

Posted by : Konstantine Monday, October 5, 2009

Currently, I am studying for two midterms, one of which is concerned with cellular metabolic pathways and their mechanisms. Glycolysis and the citric acid cycle (known also as the Kreb's cycle, the TCA cycle or the Szent-Györgyi-Krebs cycle) are of main concern at the moment. I thought I would publish the mnemonic devices I use to memorize these pathways and their associated enzymes here, both for my own future reference and the use of anyone who needs them:

Glycolysis —

Steps of glycolysis:
Goodness Gracious Father Franklin Did Go By Picking Pumpkins to Prepare Pie
Thus, the first emphasized letter of each of the above emphasized words relates to the following steps in glycolysis:
Glucose
Glucose-6-Phosphate
Fructose-6-phosphate
Fructose-1,6-biphosphate
Dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP)
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate
1,3-Biphosphoglycerate
3-Phosphoglycerate
2-Phosphoglycerate
Phosphoenolpyruvate
Pyruvate
The enzymes involved in the above steps can be remembered with the following memory aid:
High Profile People Act Too Glamorous, Picture Posing Every Place
Again, the first emphasized letter of each of the above emphasized words relates to the following enzymes involved in the above steps in glycolysis:
Hexokinase
Phosphofructo isomerase
Phoshofructokinase
Aldolase
Triose phosphate isomerase
Glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase
Phosphoglycerokinase
Phosphoglyceromutase
Enolase
Pyruvate kinase
Pyruvate Dehydrogenation Complex (PDC) —

Cofactors most important to the pyruvate dehydrogenation complex:
TLC? Fuck No.
This corresponds to:
E1:
TPP

E2:
Lipoic Acid
Coenzyme A

E3:
FAD
NAD+
Citric Acid Cycle —

Compounds involved in cycle:
Our City Is Kept Safe and Sound From Malace
This corresponds to:
Oxalacetate
Citrate
Isocitrate
Alpha-ketoglutamate
Succinyl-coA
Succinate
Fumarate
Malate
Enzymes involved in cycle:
CAIK Sounds So Fucking Mint.
This corresponds to:
Citrate synthase
Aconitase
Iso-citrate dehydrogenase
Alpha-Ketoglutarate dehydrogenase
Succinyl-coA synthetase
Succinate dehydrogenase
Fumerase
Malate dehydrogenase
Urea Cycle —

Compounds involved in cycle:

Ordinary Careless Crappers Are Also Frivolous About Urination

This corresponds to (indented steps are either requirements or products of that step):
Ornithine
Carboamyl Phosphate
Citruline
Aspartate
Argininosuccinate
Fumarate
Arginine
Urea
Enzymes involved in cycle (OAAA are the enzymes responsible for the indented steps above):

C—OAAA
Carboamyl phosphate synthase
Ornithine transcarbamoxylase
Argininosuccinate synthase
Arginininosuccinase
Arginase
Hope these come to good use.

    Your post is very interesting. I have a blog about mnemonic devices and I have always used them. For example, I always use this phrase to remember the planets: My Very Energetic Mother Just Served Us Nine Pizzas. But, some people liked to use “My Very Easy Method Just Shows Us Nine Planets” or “My Very Energetic Mother Jumps Skateboards Under Nana’s Patio” (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto). The problem now is Pluto. It was reclassified as a dwarf planet.

    Best regards,

    Sosyal medya hesaplarınızın görünürlüğünü artırmak istiyorsanız, çeşitli yöntemler deneyebilirsiniz. Örneğin, twitter izlenme satın al seçeneği ile takipçilerinizin dikkatini çekebilirsiniz. Bu tür hizmetler, hesabınızın daha fazla kişiye ulaşmasına yardımcı olur ve etkileşimi artırabilir. Ancak, organik büyüme stratejileri ile dengeli bir şekilde kullanmak daha sağlıklıdır.
    Sosyal medya platformlarında daha fazla görünürlük elde etmek isteyenler, çeşitli yöntemlere başvurabiliyor. Bunlardan biri de tiktok otomatik izlenme hizmetleri olup, kullanıcıların içeriklerinin daha hızlı yayılmasını sağlıyor. Bu konuda detaylı bilgi almak ve güvenilir hizmetler bulmak için ilgili sayfaya göz atabilirsiniz: tiktok otomatik izlenme. Ancak, her zaman organik büyümenin önemini unutmamak gerekir.
    YouTube'da başarılı olmak için belirli hedefler koymak önemlidir. Özellikle, "youtube 4000 saat izlenme" şartını yerine getirmek, içerik üreticileri için büyük bir adım olarak kabul edilir. Bu nedenle, izlenme sürelerini artırmak ve düzenli içerik üretmek, kanalın büyümesine katkı sağlar. Daha detaylı bilgi almak ve bu konuda stratejiler geliştirmek için youtube 4000 saat izlenme konusunda araştırma yapmak faydalı olacaktır.
    Sosyal medya varlığınızı güçlendirmek istiyorsanız, güvenilir kaynaklardan Pinterest takipçi satın al seçeneğini değerlendirebilirsiniz. Bu sayede hesabınızın görünürlüğü artar ve daha fazla kullanıcıyla etkileşime geçme şansınız yükselir. Eğer bu konuda daha fazla bilgi almak veya hemen başlamayı düşünüyorsanız, pinterest takipçi satın al seçeneğini inceleyebilirsiniz. Böylece, hızlı ve etkili bir şekilde hedef kitlenize ulaşabilirsiniz.
