UNDERSTANDING GLYCOLYSIS – USMLE STEP 1


via USMLE SUCCESS ACADEMY by Paul Ciurysek, MD on 9/30/11

Glycolysis is a very high-yield topic for the USMLE Step 1 exam, so I've put together a short (well, 25 minutes) video taking you through every step of the pathway.  This is a video I created from one of my 1-on-1 Skype tutorial sessions.  I've also included some very high-yield tid-bits you MUST know for the CK exam as well.
One important thing I forgot to mention in the video that I did make clear to my student was that any time we use a 'kinase' we also need Mg2+ as a co-factor.  So throughout biochemistry if you see a kinase you know we also need an accompanying Mg2+ 
Enjoy!



If I've forgotten anything important, please share it with the other readers!
