@MSimoesJunior That's a lot, good luck! What kind of volunteer work do you do at CMC? #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@Mackenz48640719 That sounds really interesting! Do you know what kind of in vitro pharmacological studies or experiments you'll be doing yet? #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@Shawnia18621883 That's super impressive, and thank you for your volunteer work. Best of luck on the MCAT! #prescottbiochemistry

I'm looking forward to my final year of schooling after the summer! After graduation my goal is to work on interface design of biology and medical software. #prescottbiochemistry

@bryebarna Hi Brye, same here! I was taught the pieces individually before but seeing them tied in as separate AND collaborative processes really shed light on human metabolism. #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@raidersoccer Hey, this was new information for me as well! I had briefly learned about conformations from organic chemistry but seeing them applied in biochemistry was eye opening. #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@md_bcs I like the insight into organic chemistry and biological processes as well! What protein did you gain a more thorough understanding of? #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

This course was invaluable in gaining a holistic understanding of metabolism and fuel sources, from glycolysis and how ATP is produced from it, to other sources of energy like fatty acids and cholesterol, to the ETC and TCA. #prescottbiochemistry

@DevynEnwright What were the major differences found (aside from lack of apoptosis?) #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

Researchers found alterations in cerebral energy metabolism when typical nutrients (oxygen, glucose) are restricted. #prescottbiochemistry

@MontgomeryTaeya Wow. What's the error/deviation from the norm in the TCA cycle that causes this? #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@Shawnia18621883 Sounds promising! What is different about pyruvate carboxylase's functionality and expression? #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@MontgomeryTaeya or anyone looking for a prestigious science internship - this may be of interest to you! Check out NASA's Space Life Sciences Training Program! https://t.co/vV7X14Yqyl #prescottbiochemistry

@drsarahgrace @peerwise Good to know!

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

If a coding strand sequence reads as follows: ATG GCA TGC - what would the final transcript sequence be?

@dkael62 That's a very concise explanation, thank you very much.

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

#sciencetwitter What distinguishes polycistronic mRNA from "regular" mRNA? Are all mRNAs subdivided further? #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@Madalyn__L Cirrhotic livers become less responsive to insulin which leads to lower production of glucose, developing low blood sugar and decreased bodily functions. #prescottbiochemistry

[RaphGenomics @GenomicsRaph]

@CoreyJakway This isn't a definite answer but a guess that the subunits may be vestigial - pyruvate kinase is possibly one of the most ancient enzymes on earth due to its critical function and may have evolved or mutated several forms over time. #prescottbiochemistry

@LudmillaSommer1 What sort of information are you looking to learn? I find that https://t.co/5qvelYbXU7 is a reliable source of plenty of articles. https://t.co/sCedLMD37r #prescottbiochemistry
