We will not cover the pathways by which the carbon skeletons are broken down, except as referenced in the figure list.

Boxes: (18-1), 18-2** (why everyone needs to know biochemistry!)


For Thursday

Thursday is Midterm II, which will cover all the lectures from weeks I though IV (through amino acid catabolism - chapter 18), though with an emphasis on previously-untested material. It will take place during regular class hours, 8:40 to 10:30. Exam room assignments will be as before unless otherwise announced in class.



'A' and' B' sections are required reading. If you are extremely short of time and can't read the entire assignment thoroughly, put most of your effort into the 'A' sections, and the 'B' sections more lightly. Reading breaks at the obvious point on the page unless otherwise noted, or in some cases, at the end of a page. 'R' means recommended.
