Pathways stop being a blur of arrows. They start making sense.

Four ways the guide does the work for you

This isn't a textbook with diagrams added. Every pathway is built the same way from start to finish, so by the third chapter you already know where to look.

Guide pages showing a color-coded metabolic pathway
Color-coded pathways
see the flow

Every pathway is color-coded by stage.

Glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and the electron transport chain are drawn stage by stage, so you follow where the carbons and the ATP go instead of memorizing loose reactions.

See the path. Remember the steps.

Made by JDMA Nursing School, now MedStudies, for students who learn by seeing

Color-coded pathways, clear language, and quizzes to check what stuck.

the real problem

Biochemistry is not a memory problem. It's a pathway problem.

Studied as loose reactions, every enzyme is a new fact. Studied as pathways that connect (glucose in, ATP out, and what happens when you stop eating) each step explains the next one.

how it's usually taught…
  • acetyl-CoA
  • Michaelis–Menten
  • NADH
  • pyruvate
  • Km
  • beta-oxidation
  • ATP synthase
  • malonyl-CoA
  • urea cycle
  • FADH2
  • gluconeogenesis
  • allosteric
  • carnitine
  • glycogenolysis
  • thiamine
  • purines
  • transaminases
  • Vmax
  • ketogenesis
  • chylomicrons
  • insulin
  • G6PD
  • pyrimidines
  • lipolysis
  • glucagon
  • PKU
  • mRNA
  • oxidative phosphorylation
  • cofactors
  • rate-limiting step

…and you're expected to just hold all of that.

questions

Before you buy

How do I get the guide?

It's a PDF. As soon as your payment clears, the download link is emailed to you, so you can start the same night. Study on a tablet or computer, or print only the pathways you're on.

Basic or Complete?

Basic is the full guide as a hyperlinked PDF. Complete adds the quizzes with answer keys, the flashcards, the stickers, the fill-in pathway maps and a printable version. If you want to test yourself before the exam, take Complete.

Is the guide in English?

Yes. The whole guide is in English, with short sentences and a lot of diagrams.

Which apps does it work with?

Any PDF reader. To use the hyperlinked index, GoodNotes, Notability, Xodo or your web browser all work well. The pathway maps are made to be printed, too.

Why does it say “JDMA Nursing School”?

MedStudies is the new name of JDMA Nursing School. Same author, same guide, which is why some pages still show the old name.

Where do I start if my exam is close?

Start with glycolysis, the Krebs cycle and oxidative phosphorylation, then read the ATP yield breakdown that ties them together. After that, use the quizzes to find what you still miss.

Still here? Then it's the nine dollars, not the guide.
