Sketchy Medical Biochemistry – Tested & Direct
Covers the fundamental "central dogma" topics— DNA replication , transcription , translation , and lab techniques like PCR and blotting .
Bridges the gap between biochemical pathways and real-world patient presentations, emphasizing inheritance patterns and genetic disorders. How the Visual Learning Works
By turning abstract chemical reactions into vivid, interactive scenes, Sketchy helps students lock in the difficult-to-memorize enzymes and regulatory steps required for the USMLE Step 1 and MCAT Biochemistry . sketchy medical biochemistry
After watching, students can use "Review Cards"—the full sketch with hover-over labels—to reinforce what they’ve learned. Sketchy vs. The Competition
A narrator walks you through the drawing in real-time, explaining why each "sketch" relates to a specific enzyme or substrate. After watching, students can use "Review Cards"—the full
This is the "meat" of the course, covering everything from the "VOMIT" pathway (odd-chain fatty acid oxidation) to the intricacies of glycolysis , gluconeogenesis , and ketone body production .
A specific character or object (like a broken fence for a voltage-gated channel) consistently represents the same concept across different videos. This is the "meat" of the course, covering
Focuses on the structural and functional parts of the cell, including collagen synthesis and the dreaded lysosomal storage diseases (like Tay-Sachs and Gaucher disease).
Students often debate between Sketchy and other visual resources like or conceptual giants like Boards and Beyond .
The "Sketchy method" relies on the (memory palaces). Each video presents a cohesive scene—for instance, the MCAT biochemistry course is set in "Sketchyland," a theme park where different rides represent specific pathways.
