Biochemistry
Biochemistry asks you to remember pathways, their enzymes and where they happen. Lumi quizzes you on each step so the map lives in your head and not only on the page.
How to turn this subject into cards
Make one note per pathway, such as glycolysis, beta oxidation or the citric acid cycle, with its location, substrates, key enzymes and regulation. Start by quizzing yourself on the overall balance, then on each step. The trap is memorising structures as pictures without understanding why a reaction happens. Lumi helps you retain names, locations, regulators and net yields.

Glycolysis converts one glucose molecule into two pyruvate molecules. The citric acid cycle takes place in the mitochondrial matrix. The Km is the substrate concentration at which an enzyme works at half its maximum rate. DNA is built from four bases, adenine, thymine, guanine and cytosine.
