Every guide, in one place

The 5-Block Amino Acid Cheat Code

All 20 amino acids in five blocks, where neighbors share a feature, so knowing one helps you find the next.

The Glycolysis Cheat Code

All ten reactions, drawn substrate to product, with the enzyme and cofactors on the arrow between them.

The pathway drawn reaction by reaction, including the steps glycolysis can't simply run backward.

The Gluconeogenesis Cheat Code

The Citric Acid Cycle Cheat Code

The Fatty Acid Oxidation Cheat Code

The Pentose Phosphate Pathway Cheat Code

All ten reactions, from the two entry steps through the eight steps of the cycle, with a wheel to fill in labeled or blank.

Seven reactions, three to bring the fatty acid in and four in the spiral, with a spiral diagram to fill in labeled or blank.

Both stages in eight reactions, three oxidative and five non-oxidative, following NADPH, ribose, and the carbon shuffle between them.

The Monosaccharide Cheat Code

Eleven sugars drawn three ways, Fischer to Haworth to chair, so you can follow every carbon and hydroxyl as the chain closes into a ring.

The Lipid Cheat Code

Twelve fatty acids with names, drawings and backbones side by side, then the membrane lipids and steroids, with twelve practice sheets to lock it in.

DNA to RNA to protein in thirteen steps, from replication through translation, with the 5′ to 3′ direction marked so you always know which way things are read.

The Central Dogma Cheat Code

The Disaccharide & Polysaccharide Cheat Code

The Enzyme Kinetics Cheat Code

The Electron Transport Chain Cheat Code

Eight Haworth structures, from glycosidic bonds and α vs β linkages through starch, glycogen, cellulose and chitin.

Michaelis–Menten and Lineweaver–Burk plots for each type of inhibition, side by side, so you can tell them apart at a glance and draw every shift from memory.

Complexes I through IV and ATP synthase in order, following electrons from NADH and FADH₂ down to oxygen and the protons that drive ATP synthesis.

The Fatty Acid Synthesis Cheat Code

Citrate to palmitate in seven turns, every cycle drawn out, so the 8 · 7 · 14 tally finally makes sense.

The Glycogen Metabolism Cheat Code

Glycogen built and broken down step by step, with the switches that decide which way it runs.

The core pathways on two pages, linked by their hubs and control points, so it all fits into one picture.

The Metabolism Map Cheat Code

The Nucleotides & Nucleic Acids Cheat Code

The Urea Cycle Cheat Code

The five bases and two sugars, built up into nucleosides, nucleotides and the double helix, with base pairing and its hydrogen bonds drawn out.

Every step of the cycle across the mitochondria and cytosol, tracking where each nitrogen comes in and where urea leaves.

The Sn1/Sn2/E1/E2 Cheat Code

Four questions sort any substrate into the right mechanism, then the decision tree carries you through to the product you draw.

The Naming Foundations Cheat Code

Alkanes named in five steps, with the whole system on one page and practice problems that build up level by level.

Rings, halides, alkenes, alkynes, alcohols, ethers and thiols, one master sheet per family, with R/S and E/Z added as the sixth step.

The Naming II Cheat Code

The Naming III Cheat Code

The Alkene Addition Cheat Code

Aromatics, carbonyls, acids and their derivatives, nitriles and amines, plus the priority ladder that settles how to name a multi-group molecule.

Read the reagent and know what adds, where it lands, which face it comes from, and when a rearrangement shifts the result.
