Seriously! How in the name of all that is good do you guys even begin to learning it? I'll probably have to go down the memorisation road, i.e. draw diagram after diagram ad infinitum!

Anyone have any tips/similar woes?
 
What particular part are you having trouble with? Enzymes? Structures? Pathways?
 
Stupid cholesterol I tell you. It gets confusing when it has to get activated to the same thing over and over and over again, lol. At first it's like, "hey, didn't I just read this.. oh."
 
i checked out that new lippincott biochem.....man its nice.
 
yeah man, diagram after diagram, welcome to biochem... MMMM TASTY. my only advice is lots of diagramatic molecules and lots of arrows linking them up. bugger it! and, like the rest of science and med, go the mnemonics!!! cholesterol? three bedrooms and a bath.
 
biochem blows. no way around it. you just gotta survive it (and you will...every doc you ever met survived it)
 
how do you mem the structures?
