I am having a hard time remembering all the enzymes. It is going very slow but I feel that I am starting to feel a little more confident. What are you planning to study after biochem? I still don't know if I should do Physio or Microbi.
Have a good day with plenty of studying!

Still doing biochem....though slogging and its going a bit slow as every time i need to refer back to the book becoz enzymes and substrates etc all get messsed up specially in the metabolism chapters.... but regardless iam sure constant revision is the key to this game !..so no need to panic or loose hope as every dark cloud has a silver lining ...lets keep up the good work !! 👍
Once iam done with biochem i plan on starting up with physio.
Do u have any particular questions from biochem to discuss ?
Goodluck with studying and keep posting !

Had a bad day yesterday. Feel that I am losing too much time with cellular biology, DNA, RNA, Transcription, Translation, regulation of gene expression etc. I looked in the guide and only 9 questions are coming from this area. Doing vitamins and metabolism today. I don't have any questions right now because everytime I need to clarify something I am searching in wiki. The only questions I am doing are from the released exams. Stiil hope to finish with biochem by Sunday. I think I will start with Physio next as well because it should be done together with biochem. Have you done Anatomy and Dental Anatomy? I have done something in Anatomy but definitely I need to do more revisions.
Have a good day! I will keep posting every day.

I think Kaplan biochem is just enough, in my opinion at least. Didn't read all biochem decks yet. But I think Kaplan is more in depth than decks. Happy studying to you too!

I feel the same. Sometimes I feel that my life will be over if I don't get a good grade but that still doesn't prevent me from wasting time. I start very late in the day, around 10-11 and I try to study until 9pm and sometimes even later but i also have 2 young kids so it is very hard. I am at the library during the day because at home I couldn't accomplish anything.
Good luck! When are taking your exam?

Hey raluca,
I can imagine how hard it must be for you , but dont lose hope, just getting started and sitting down to study is half the battle ! and you're doing it, keep up ur spirits high for the rest part of it.......
it was our decision to take this route, and
, i tell this to myself always , time is precious you know , just do whate'er you're doing the best way ! God's there and hard work will never go unnoticed and unappreciated .

am taking my exams in april , and i'm running behind my schedule, but , still will keep it going ! Hope i get done with upper limbs and trunk and lower limbs General Anatomy sooner .

Hi Guys,

I just want to wish all of you Best of Luck. May God be with you all the time and you all get what you deserve. Just keep motivated, even if you cant study one day, dont panic, just try to study more the following day. Stick to one main source and 2-3 reference. Dont wander too much. It is of no use. Whatever you read, read it thoroughly and clear your concepts. Reading less and carefully and thoroughly is much better than reading more but not thoroughly.

Good Luck to you all.

thanks bddsgirl ,
for all the kind and encouraging words . Am taking a long time with Anatomy , after H&Neck , may be coz we had only head and neck when we studied, dunno how it was for others......

Guys , am not any great at this , than you all , but my two cents on this is, as long as you are sticking to the main sources and books , and not straying way beyond the content of it, no time is a waste , studying them .

Since we're no genius , we need to do them again and gain to put them into long term memory , wish GOD made a few extra of those neurons for us....

Just study your portions for the day !
Happy studying, did u'l finish the week's alloted quota ?

Hello Folks !

Biochem isnt going too bad....i agree with Raluca and truth seeker, to stick to the basic books and the decks and it is more than sufficient!! Need to remind myself again iam studying for nbde and not to be a biochem professor one day... 😀:laugh:
Jokes apart, i am still left with molecular biochemistry as of now and will try to finish it all by this weekend and then time to appreciate the beauty of the released questions :laugh:😉 before i finally bid goodbye to biochem before the revision cycle ! So lets keep goingggg !!

(blame the comedy movie i just saw a while ago for this silly humour and satire ! ) 🙄

Hi, as am lseeking for study partner, shall i join , even am doing anatomy....as am retaking the exampls let me my email id [email protected]

thanks in advance

QUOTE=Truth seeker;9090216]hello ALL !
I take the initiative to have a thread for all those of us who plan to take the exam in the first half of 2010 . I'm myself taking the test on April 15th and its of paramount importance to stay motivated and put in our very best during this period of study. We all need to help each other, lest start the new year on a new note, and commit to ourselves to study and work real hard !
So lets all converge here and pool in our thoughts, our strategy , and other related stuff .

Am doing Anatomy right now and hope to be done within a week's time .

No second thought , its a difficult exam and we all badly need to stay in the same studying spree and maintain the flow of thoughts till we're done with exam.

Regards and best wishes to all.
Study well and study hard !

How are you guys doing? I am not done with Biochem, took longer than expected. Might have to postpone my exam a little if I cannot follow my schedule. These enzymes make my life miserable. Some of them I can remember easily but others are a pain in the neck. How are you guys memorizing all the stuff? Today I will try and read a little from Lippincott to see if it makes everything easier. Will keep you posted!

I think glucokinase. It is called hexokinase in all the tissues except in the liver where it is called glucokinase.

Hey raluca , dont worry, you cant always re-schedule the date, but be prepared for the date, so that it helps you ! If the enzymes are giving you a pain in neck, please take a breather and switch to questions, that way you will refresh and check on what you've covered and not feel low.....
Just dont give up ! you 're doing pretty well and we all have our low and high days......to err is but human , but please stay focussed . You will do FINE !!!!!
keep going.............
happy studying today and for days ahead......

Not exactly sure about it, but I think the answer is "3. Glucose 6 Phosphatase". I believe it has something to do with the Cori cycle and the fact that muscle can't metabolize the glycogen the same as it is in the liver.

From what I recall G6Pase is only found in liver/kidney. G6P that is made in the muscle from glycogen and can go through glycolysis in muscle tissue to eventually make lactate which goes through the cori cycle to get broken down to AA's and then get taken up in the liver and processed back to glucose... Hope that makes sense.
