Master's In Medical Biochemistry

Descripción

If you want biochemistry that actually helps you in USMLE Step 1, Board review exams, Masters in Biochemistry, and real clinical decision-making in biochemical diseases, this course is built for you. “Master's in medical Biochemistry” takes you from the foundations of enzymes to the full clinical integration of metabolism and molecular biology, taught in a structured, step-by-step way so you can understand, recall, and apply concepts quickly. We begin with enzymes in depth—properties, cofactors/coenzymes, substrate binding, factors affecting activity, Michaelis–Menten kinetics, Lineweaver–Burk plots, and classic inhibition patterns (competitive, non-competitive, uncompetitive). Then we move into high-yield carbohydrate chemistry and metabolism, including glucose transporters (GLUTs), glycolysis (with energetics and regulation), link reactions, TCA cycle, gluconeogenesis, glycogen metabolism, HMP shunt, uronic acid pathway, and the clinically tested minor pathways of fructose and galactose. Next, you’ll build a strong framework for proteins and amino acids, protein structure, urea cycle, and amino acid metabolism with key inborn errors. The course then covers lipids and lipoproteins, fatty acid oxidation, ketogenesis, cholesterol metabolism, dyslipidemias, and major sphingolipidoses—mapped to clinical patterns you’ll actually see. Finally, we integrate vitamins, electron transport chain/biological oxidation, nucleotides (purine/pyrimidine), DNA replication/repair, transcription, translation, post-translational modifications, epigenetics, heme metabolism, and jaundice differentials. This course provides comprehensive video lectures only. Lecture notes are not included.

Lo que aprenderás

• Explain enzyme structure–function, kinetics, regulation, and inhibition using board-relevant clinical examples.
• Interpret enzyme lab tests (AST/ALT, ALP, amylase/lipase, CK, troponin) and link patterns to diagnosis.
• Predict drug effects on enzymes (targets, inhibitors/activators), adverse effects, and therapeutic monitoring.
• Apply enzyme concepts to real cases: inborn errors, metabolic pathway blocks, and evidence-based treatment choices.

Requisitos

• Solve USMLE/ABIM-style questions on kinetics plots, competitive vs non-competitive inhibition, and Vmax/Km changes.
