Glycolysis Mnemonics


Glycolysis: Metabolic Pathways

"Goodness Gracious, Father Franklin Did Go By Picking Pumpkins(to) Prepare Pies"

Glucose
Glu-6-P
Fru-6-P
Fru-1,6-diP
Dihydroxyacetone-P
Glyceraldehyde 3-P
1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate
3-Phosphoglycerate
2-Phosphoglycerate
Phosphoenolpyruvate(PEP)
Pyruvate

"Did", "By" and "Pies" reminds you the first part of those three: di-, bi- and py- and "PrEPare" reminds you PEP.




Na+/K+ pump

Remember the characters present in those.

Eg. "K+" and "in", each contains 2 characters, so 2 K+ molecules are pumped in.
whereas in "Na+" and "out", each contains 3 characters, so 3 Na+ are pumped out.

Purines and Pyrimidines:

Remember "Pure as Silver(Ag)"
So Purine is Adenine and Guanine.

and for Pyrimidines, Remember "CUT the py(Pie)"
Cytosine, Uracil and Thiamine.

Also you can remember by structurewise.
Short name (Purine) has bigger structure
and Long name (Pyrimidine) has smaller structure.

So Think, " Pyrimidines can be CUT out from Purines".

Site of Metabolism:

"Use both arms to HUG"

Heme synthesis
Urea Cycle
Gluconeogenesis

These reactions occurs in both cytoplasm and mitochondria.

Galactosemia: deficiency enzyme

Remember "GALIPUT"

Galactose 1 Phosphate Uridyl Transferase

Live attenuated vaccines:

Remember "ROME Is My Best Place To go Yet !"

Rubella
Oral Polio vaccine
Measles
Epidemic typhus
Influenza
Mumps
BCG
Plague
Typhoid oral vaccine
Yellow fever


Killed Vaccines:

Remember "RIP A" (Rest in peace always)
Rabies
Influenza
Polio (Salk type)
A Hepatitis
