Biochemistry- is intense we need 5 days to do from the scratch,A......zDAY 1 BIOCHEMITS better if you are starting for the first time,to skip molecular biochem initially,start from basics ,get into the groove and then explode,the information is enourmous.Start with the Lecture on hormones...It comes aftr mol biochem in lecture notes,ALL the hormones and receptors are discussed in full here including the board exam favourite insulin.ALL secondary messengers are explained in such a simple language,Keep your note pad ready,pause and replay if you cannot understand4-5 come in exam about receptors,and they are not straight ques.evry secondary messenger is important,note not just the name but the mechanism of action.ITs one and half hour of intense lecture,you might take two hours thats ok. The questions at the end in the lecture notes are so twisted,just like the exams,keep your guyton ready and its time to go for the kill insulin,glucagon,what increases what decreases in exercise in diabetic,in non diabetic,the receptors,secondary messge...make sure you get them right.The next lecture is on vitamins its a breezer,but a very important basic lecture,make sure you get all the facts about vit A ,D.Pick up Calcium metablism from guyton and parathormone,calcitonin.ITs alomost 4 hours. Take a breather its time for the Board FAvourite metabolism and our reverred cycles.A introductory lecture is given OVERVIEW OF METABOLISM,{chapter 11 on lecture notes,video lecture 17}There are 3 figures in this chapter,but it combines the three main processes of Carb,fats and proteins and all the pathways involved in our entire biochem,just simply stating during meals and in between meals[fasting stage]This is your basic chapter it links everything ,all the cycles where they appear in 2 simple figures.IF you can draw these cycles on your note pad at the end of this introductory lecture.Well you just got ready for your next 20 marks in BiochemTHe next chapter starts with carbohydrate metabolism Glycolysis with an intro on GLUT receptors,goes on to explain the glycolysis cycle in a simple language,if you can repeat in your note pad you are done in an hour and half,finish of with ATP and electron shuttle,galactose and fructose metabolism.3 hours,skin thro your basic carb str from lippencort next hour make notes and you are done.Time for hot pipping mug of caffiene and a well deserved break.

  8. Hi.. Was wondering if you could tell me how to schedule myself out. i have done one brief review first of the dental decks 07-08. and now going through basics. Kind of being following the tips you did give above. I have my test on 2nd August so thats 3 months. at the basics i just did dental anat, and now doing anatomy. I had thought 5 days would be enough but already backlog of 3 days behind schedule since its so vast. And Im going crazy.. Please help! :)
