Mastering Enzyme Kinetics: Step-by-Step PPT for Students and Researchers

If you are a student or researcher in biology or chemistry, understanding enzyme kinetics is very important. Our bodies naturally contain enzymes that aid in accelerating chemical reactions. Enzyme kinetics means studying how fast these enzymes work and what affects their speed. But enzyme kinetics can feel confusing because of the terms and math involved. That’s why using a step-by-step…

For both GAT-B and IIT JAM, i got to know from my professors. Had no idea about the exam or it's benefits. I didn't know about TIFR or any other exam so didn't attempt. But since I was badly idle during the lockdown and almost had the idea to be with the crowd, to get married. So inorder to distract myself, i started preparing somewhere around September 2021. Till December, i sorted the question papers by knowing from the professors which question belongs to what Unit.

I picked up only past 5 years questions and analysed the physics and mathematics part. I got 90% confidence to leave physics completely because PYQs were far from my reach even though I had been revising my physics concepts regularly. It would have wasted my time.

Coming to Mathematics, it was evident from the questions that majority were upto class 10th level and from +2 portions, only statistics, probability and trigonometry looked important to me. I was a crammer and highly laborious student at school so it was not difficult for me to recall these portions. I only prepared this much in mathematics and attempted all the questions correctly in the exam. (Note: I didn't have maths as a subject in my +2)

Chemistry, i love this subject. My highest scores ever are in this subject yet i betrayed myself by not taking it up in my graduation. Anyways, i loved organic chemistry more than physical and inorganic. In the PYQs i analysed, they're asking more of organic chemistry and from physical chemistry, only Chemical kinetics part. So inorganic chemistry can be left blindly.

Biology, 12+1+2+3, i.e upto graduation level is required. I was lacking badly in my graduation level biology so i analysed the paper and prepared for only specific units like Recombinant DNA technology, microbiology, biotechniques, biochemistry (only Enzyme and kinetics) and basic immunology. (I later covered some more topics but gave more emphasis on these topics)

I had completely restricted myself to study the least. From my previous experiences of competitive exams i had realised that i should focus on minimum input and maximum output. So i was determined to prepare less but more efficiently. Only when I was done with the targeted portions i would try to touch other topics.

I created an MS Excel sheet to keep a check on my revision cycle for each topic.(I'll share on my stories someday, have to search for it) I did all this preparation only in my free time. Nothing like serious dedications. Making life easy away from the unnecessary stress about competition.

Rest was Allah's Miracle.

Find your own strategy, yourself.

All the best.

The MCAT (Medical College Admission Test) is definitely pretty daunting when you first sit down to start preparing for it. For those of us here in the US/Canada, it’s probably the biggest, hardest standardized test you’ve ever had to take in your life so far. I thought I’d try to make the whole process just a little less painful! :)

Helpful Links:

AAMC (buy official practice material, sign up for test dates, & see your score)

Reddit r/MCAT (wonderful source of resources/info, help, & motivation)

Khan Academy

Khan Academy Notes/Transcriptions (collective effort by reddit)

Official MCAT Topic Outline (PDF)

Helpful Classes to Take (optional but recommended):

General Chemistry // Biology // Physics

General Psychology // Sociology

Organic Chemistry

Biochemistry

MCAT Books (optional)

Kaplan: widely regarded as one of the best. If you buy the 7-book set, you’ll get 3 free FLs (full-lengths).

ExamKrackers (EK): also widely regarded as one of the best. More user-friendly than Kaplan. Psych book is not comprehensive enough.

The Princeton Review (TPR): unnecessarily detailed in the science sections but overall good. TPR psych is supposedly very good.

If you’re pressed for money, I believe there is a full EK set scanned online somewhere (try asking Reddit). Also, honestly Khan Academy is just as good as the MCAT books in terms of content review.

Free FLs

Next Step FL1 (NS1)

Next Step Half-Length

Kaplan Half-Length

Altius Half-Length

The Princeton Review FL

General Tips Everyone Kinda Agrees On:

OFFICIAL AAMC PRACTICE MATERIAL ARE NOT OPTIONAL. At the very least, buy the Section Bank and the AAMC FLs. There is no practice out there that will predict your score as well as the AAMC FLs.

USE KHAN ACADEMY FOR P/S SECTION. If you have time, use the 300pg Psych document! Otherwise, use the 100pg doc.

KNOW YOUR AMINO ACIDS. That includes structure, 3-letter abbreviations, AND 1-letter abbreviations. Know what class they are (hydrophobic/philic, acidic/basic).

3rd Party FLs (e.g. Kaplan, Next Step) should only be used to practice sitting for 7 hours and to identify content gaps. Do not use them to gauge your score. 3rd party FLs tend to deflate your score.

It’s best to get a good score in one try. If you don’t feel ready, either reschedule your test or void it. Schools will only see scored exams.

^That being said, a “bad” score isn’t the end of the world. Take a break, pull yourself together, identify what you could do better, and slay the MCAT on your retake.

Pace yourself. Most people do ~3 months of study with scheduled break days, but adjust to your own pace!

MCAT courses are $$$ and only useful for certain people. If you are someone who can discipline yourself and do what you need to do, you don’t need to take a course.

Below 500 typically means an issue in content review.

Please don’t retake 514+ scores. Not only are they amazing scores, but if you retake and (god forbid) drop, it will reflect poorly on your decision-making.

You don’t need a 515+ to get into med school. It really depends on what tier of school you’re applying to, what speciality you want to pursue in the future, etc. If you’re not aiming for a Top 20 or a derm residency match, you don’t need a 95+ percentile score.

My Personal Tips:

A little about me: my score release was on 9/19/17 and I got a 518 (97th percentile) with breakdown: 129/130/130/129.

Don’t be afraid to postpone your test. I rescheduled my test twice (3/31 to 6/16 to 8/18) because I knew I wasn’t ready.

Try not to study during the semester. It’s already hard enough managing your everyday classes and any extracurriculars you have.

Practice >>> Content Review. Do a quick general content review before starting practice. Do any practice you can get your hands on. Then REVIEW THEM. Reviewing should take you basically the whole day. Really understand every aspect of the problem. Even if you got it right, make sure you’re getting it right for the right reasons and not cuz of luck. Look up anything that you’re even a little doubtful about.

If you’re going straight-through (applying summer after junior year), try to take your test the summer after sophomore year just in case you have to retake. Similar advice for gap year students (like me), try to leave enough time for a retake if necessary.

I recommend foam earplugs during the test. You’ll have to bring them to the testing center in a sealed package and open it in front of the proctors.

Don’t be afraid to use your scrap paper. In the 10 minute tutorial at the beginning of the exam, I did a massive brain dump of every equation I could think of.

C/P Specific Advice: The MCAT won’t ask you for a ton of math. Know your most important chemical structures (e.g. amine vs. amide, ester vs. ether). Know your basic formulas, especially for optics!! Know how to identify the nucleophile/electrophile in an orgo reaction.

CARS Specific Advice: This is the hardest section to improve on. If you’re scoring low, do a lot of practice and try to read more (newspapers, articles, books) until you plateau. Don’t bring in any outside info. The answer is almost always hidden in the passage in plain sight.

B/B Specific Advice: AMINO ACIDS. Also know basic research notations (e.g. A123K = alanine at 123 position of sequence changed to lysine). Also ENZYME KINETICS.

P/S Specific Advice: Khan Academy. Seriously. This is also the easiest section to improve on.

Last note: remember anything on the topic list is technically fair game.

Good luck! Hope this helped!!

tips for preparing for biochem!

Hey my little angels! I was so nervous about biochem next semester! So I decided to ask all of my amazing followers on my @babeswhostudy Instagram for advice and OH MY LAWD you guys rock! Here are some of my fav pieces of advice that I got DM'd to me 😊 ENJOY! Diegoreads•••• Read "Lehninger: biochemistry principles", it's one of the best books of biochemistry 👍, my recommendation is to understand the basic concepts like proteins, lipids... because it'll be necessary for metabolism 🙈 I'm finishing this subject this semester, it's really beautiful by the way. missaneka_•••• Memorize amino acids (funny YouTube videos to help) and all molecules and movement of glycolysis etc.... easy because it's memorizing but time consuming so it's worth it to do it when you have extra time. Review hydrogen bonds, titrations... use chemistryprep.com I like that one for everything! julia_geisler•••• Hi! If you speak german then take a look at the 'duale reihe biochemie'. I think it's one of the best german books you can find on this topic but i don't know if there is an english version too. I had biochemistry last semester and really like working with this book. In biochemistry you have a lot to learn by heart but i think it's easier than organic chemistry (had them both in the same semester). cescaphrenic•••• Start memorizing the detailed steps in glycolysis (Inc the enzymes involved and how they change the molecular structures) tinhtinhuyen_ms•••• Hi babeswhostudy 😊 you can watch videos about biochem on AK Lectures on Youtube. This guy is amazing tbh cheeserealm•••• Review your carb, lipid, protein structures. Go over amino acid functional groups. Anything on khan academy worked for me! If you're good with all of that then go over glycolysis and subjects like that. The medicalbiochemistrypage.com was a lifesaver! Another thing is rate law kinetics and what an enzyme is/is not. All of that will be on that website. stebooby•••• Hello!!! So I was really scared of biochem so I prepared like crazy going into it. First, make sure you memorize all the amino acids. You will need it for MCAT. I made flashcards and drew the structure and included the full name, three letter name, and one letter code. Then, I memorized all of glycolysis, citric acid cycle, and electron transport chain by drawing each pathway over and over again. The best to memorize (in my experience) is to work on each pathway step by step :) for example, glycolysis has ten steps so I would memorize step 1 👉🏼 step 2. Memorize corresponding enzymes. I also tried to memorize the chemical structures but some professors don't require that! I believe this is all I did to prepare for my biochem class. It seems like a lot of work but trust me, it's going to pay off to walk into class already being familiar with the amino acids and pathways. Especially in my case, where my prof squeezed in glycolysis/citric acid cycle at the end of the class and expected us to memorize both pathways for the final that was like a week later. I was so glad I had already had them down! kurestinmiller•••• Hey! I'm currently a premed student and I just finished biochem last semester! I'd review some of your basic chemistry concepts, but for what I had to do at least, I'd work on knowing your amino acids well!! (You'll have to know them by memory anyways for the MCAT!) brandico5•••• I'd also recommend looking through YouTube for topics you find confusing. Really Helps to just hear it and see it done differently. Leah4sci is great for any Alkene/alkyne reactions. avlorencebeam•••• Biochem was my favorite subject a couple of semesters ago. It's mostly on memorizing, but if you like ochem, you'll have fun learning the cycles. I would suggest reading up, understanding the material, then making your own neat notes with pretty cycles and color coded enzymes. Alright my loves! There you go! Prepare yourself for biochem before the semester starts 💕

What is Km in Enzyme Kinetics? Meaning, Importance, and Applications Explained Simply

Enzymes are special proteins that make chemical reactions in living organisms faster and more efficient. To understand how enzymes work, scientists study something called enzyme kinetics, which looks at the speed of these reactions. One of the most important terms in enzyme kinetics is Km. Many people wonder, “What is Km in enzyme kinetics?” In this article, we will explain the meaning of Km, why…
