    I fucking love the Krebs cycle. It’s so cool. Something I love is that on the big Roche Biochemical Pathways poster, if you zoom out, you can see the Kreb’s cycle in the centre. It’s so cool at how it is so central to cell metabolism. It’s obviously key in carbohydrate metabolism, but it also acts as the entry point for the metabolites formed from the breakdown of amino acids and fatty acids.

    Here’s a zoomed out view (low res, you can’t zoom in):

    The interactive website is down at the moment, but a high res image can be found here

      Remember my biochem professor showed that chart at the end of “Biochem 100” We had focused in citric acid cycle, the electron transfer in the mitocondria, basic genetics (amino acids, RNA, DNA), neogluconesis, and something about removing nitrogen from cells +a whole lot more I can’t remember 20 years after the class.

      I ended up doing physical chemistry doing my master thesis on thermodynamics in enzymes. Only a couple of formulas and four laws that is already well defined. Way easier than this
