Which 4 processes are you referring to? The ones I'm thinking of right now are glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pyruvate dehydrogenase, TCA, oxphos, and PPP, and that's 6 rxns.
(I've been drowning in biochem for the past two semesters so I'm trying to see what part y'all are on).
In class, she refers to the four main processes as glycolysis, pyruvate processing, TCA, and oxphos. But we did discuss gluconeogenesis too. She likes to jump back and forth between different things and it majorly confuses my brain. Just finished making a giant stack of flash cards and am going to try drawing out the processes on my whiteboard next.
Ahhh okay! Yeah gluconeogenesis is basically just glycolysis in reverse with 4 different regulate enzymes instead of 3 (thank yo mass action!)
Check youtube! There's a lot of really cool songs/ videos that detail them! We had a test over just glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, pyrivate dehydrogenase complex, and TCA that covered 4-5 weeks worth of material (easily the most detailed test I've taken in my life) and I used YouTube videos to get the pathways down in a jiffy!

Also this one which has what looks like 4 friends and a suuuuuuper awkward 5th guy:
Biochem was basically my favorite class ever and these posts are making me miss it
