@BiochemMadison I love this! Flashcards are definitely the way to go when memorizing things in order for the information to actually stick longterm, at least in my experience. #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

@Dp100_ I love this resource! This mnemonic will definitely come in handy, as its hard to remember it all. #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

I found this Youtube channel called "Fundamentals of Biochemistry" that has a ton of videos on each topic touched on in Biochemistry. It could be included in any module. #hunterbiochemistry https://t.co/EU23wqLn8b

@Jignesh0408 What a cool graphic showing the different levels of endorphins given different emotions. #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

@ChristineTataru Make sure you document every little thing you're doing along with photos of the experiment as evidence. It'll make it a lot easier when it comes time to problem solve if something goes wrong. #hunterbiochemistry

Does anyone have any pneumonics to help memorize glycolysis or the enzymes involved? #hunterbiochemistry #sciencetwitter

https://t.co/PgX0tx93q7 #hunterbiochemistry This article found that diet and nutrition were the main environmental factors leading to cell cancer. Also, it states how cancer cell metabolism requires a different intake of energy.

So interesting that lipid metabolism abnormalities were found in this study as risk factors for developing and progressing diabetic complications, such as diabetic retinopathy. They found that lipid lowering drugs could be preventative of diabetic retinopathy. #hunterbiochemistry

PBD ID: cannot find ID # but that is the link that brings you to the PBD website featuring Trypsin. #hunterbiochemistry

The enzyme acetaldehyde dehydrogenase is inhibited by the drug Disulfiram. Dehydrogenase enzymes catalyze the conversion of acetaldehyde into acetic acid. So cool how the drug can cause unpleasant side effects it patient drinks alcohol. #hunterbiochemistry

[PharmaFactz @PharmaFactz]

⚠️Disulfiram is a drug used to treat alcohol dependency; causing unpleasant side effects if the patient decides to consume alcohol.

🔹️It works by inhibiting the enzyme, acetaldehyde dehydrogenase.

@VezinaSadie I also found out that it plays a role in receptor-mediated endocytosis as well! It ensures that the specific receptor on the cell surface binds to the ligand that it recognizes so it can enter the cell #hunterbiochemistry

PDBid is 7bv2 #hunterbiochemistry

The SARS-CoV-2 RNA-dependent Polymerase is very interesting and relevant. Coronaviruses don't use DNA, they use RNA. Since we can't make RNA from RNA they use their own polymerases to replicate their DNA #hunterbiochemistry doi: 10.2210/rcsb_pdb/mom_2020_9

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

An interesting fact I learned about it is that the polymerase is something researchers are looking to target for the development of antivirals because our cells can't make RNA from RNA. #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

Amino Acid Length: 932 amino acids. The main function is to be a special polymerase that goes against the DNA-RNA-Protein flow. It makes new RNA strands using RNA as a template. This specific polymerase is specific to the virus #hunterbiochemistry

@chasing_bio @iubmb they recently tweeted about biochemistry animation movies, so thats awesome and could be useful for our class! #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

I found @iubmb which is a twitter account that unites scientists all over the world. Their account stands for The International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology. They post about new and upcoming topics. #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

@MaxDodge6 @rcsbPDB @UNHManchester What data do they provide? Is it genetic information regarding the making of the proteins? #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

@kbw1010 @nieminm @WUSTLmed I saw in her bio that she is an advocate for women in science! #hunterbiochemistry

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

@MaxDodge6 I love the idea of a mobile healthcare system. It sounds expensive, but as does everything else in healthcare. A mobile unit to go door to door in underserved populations to do physical exams/mobile testing would be so benefical!

[Brianna Turner @bbbrianna23]

#hunterbiochemistry An area of research that interests me is the use of at home lab testing kits that individuals can do at home. This delivery system of lab testing could save lives as some people are more likely to do it at home than make a doctor appointment.
