Classification of Hormones

-- hormones can be chemically classified into four groups

Amino Acid Derived -- made from modified amino acids

Polypeptide and Protein Hormones -- chains of amino acids -- normally about 100 amino acids long -- some are glycoproteins -- glycoproteins contain glucose or other carbohydrate groups

Steroid Hormones -- lipids synthesized from cholesterol -- characterized by four interlocking carbohydrate rings

Eicosanoids -- lipids synthesized from fatty acid chains of phospholipids -- fatty acid chains of phospholipids are found in the plasma membrane

Idk what to say in this captions anymore. I'm just studying biochem, practicing that metabolic routes, paying close attention to how the enzimes work

Ya no se que decir en los epígrafes de las fotos jaja. Estoy estudiando bioqui, practicando muchas veces las rutas metabolicas, haciendo hincapié en como funcionan las enzimas

16/25 Days of Productivity

Learned about various enzymes that are used in DNA replication, it's absolutely amazing how everything works in such marvelous co-ordination in our body — from our organs to dna just to keep us alive and healthy (as much as possible).

I've been looking for this one au where Len basically becomes a mad scientist and turns his friends into robots one by one for a while now, and I'm beginning to realize that I just read through your blog while half asleep a few months back and mixed together my memories of your flower hivemind and composite au

this is very funny to me. i'm absolutely honored this blog's posts were enough to evil-farming-game an entire vocaloid au into your memories 😂

i can give you this doodle; it's composite au but i'm sure it'd fit very well with this theoretical mad scientist len au lololl

i'm going to start slamming my head into the wall if this paper isn't ready to submit in 10 minutes

claire in med school was not an organized girlie. i know med school aesthetic vs practice being in med school is a drastic change but she was not organized. does she look like it? sure. but she wrote her noted in one of those multi-click pens and one ink color ran out she just went to the next. black to red. red to blue. blue to orange. and does not label any diagrams. she picks a god and prays she remembers

hello hello!

i failed my first exam in uni (anatomy), but it's fine because i can retake it in summer, next semester. i think these kinds of experiences help us in our journey of becoming medics, because we have to go through a lot of tough moments in order to be great in our field.

now i'm studying biochemistry for the exam on tuesday, which will 100% be much nicer than anatomy (:

i'll keep you updated, hopefully!

re: phosphorylated serine

are u doing biochem or what

yea i took biochem last semester its probably leftover from that

DNA Polymerase I

-- first DNA polymerase discovered

-- discovered by Sylvy Levy and Arthur Kornberg

-- an enzyme

-- isolated from E. coli

-- involved in prokaryotic DNA replication

-- member of the alpha/beta protein superfamily

-- alpha-helices and beta-strands occur in irregular sequences

-- directs DNA synthesis

-- requires DNA template to read

-- requires all four deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates to grow the complementary strand

-- mediates proofreading

-- involved in DNA repair

help me me a college decision

Essentially I'm a biochem major, but I signed up for a minerology class for funzies (and also because I'm considering a minor/double major in geology). But this particular class is very time consuming and difficult, and I'm already taking a chem lab and organic chemistry. I love the content and the TAs are amazing, but idk if it's worth the time and money.

smth just hits abt being a biology major and a fantasy + scifi writer

[thebiggestfuckgiven]

Flash and Green Lantern are working together to track down some Rogue who keeps breaking into highly secure lab facilities to steal volatile and experimental chemicals. After a break in, they find some weird residue that has unusual effects on anything it comes into prolonged contact with.

It reminds Flash of an old college buddy he used to study with frequently, who had a padlocked mini fridge that glowed like uranium even during the daytime. He decides, as Barry Allen the forensics guy, to give Danny Fenton a call.

I desperately need more mentor uncle figures and mentor brother figures in DPxDC to fill the interesting relationship dynamic gap that father figures stories can't always fill are u picking up what I'm putting down. Hell, just a regular friendship relationship with absolutely 0 familial dynamic.

so my profs said to follow U Satyanarayan for biochem but diti said uss book ko choro lehninger is better and omg the difference 🥰😵💫

bcg reads lehninger and a friend reads satyanarayan but i haven't even read my class notes yet so
