Mnemonics for Biology' part-3

DNA: Z vs. B form: which is inactive 
“ZZZZ” is sleeping (inactive). B form is therefore active DNA.

DNA bond strength (nucleotides)"Crazy Glue":
Strongest bonds are between Cytosine and Guanine, strong like Crazy Glue (3 H-bonds), whereas the A=T only have 2 H-bonds. · This is relevant to DNA replication, as the weaker A=T will be the site where RNA primer makes the initial break.

Nucleotides: purines vs. pyrimidines 
“Guardian Angels are Pure, with two Wings”: G and A are Purines, with two Rings.

Pyrimidines are “CUT” from purines. 
Pyrimidines are Cytosine, Uracil, Thiamine and are one ring structures. 
Purines are double ring structures.

Amino Acids:The ten essential amino acids:
"These Ten Valuable Amino Acids Have Long Preserved Life In
Man."
(Threonine, Tryptophan, Valine, Arginine, Histidine, Lysine,
Phenylalanine, Leucine, Isoleucine, Methionine)

WBC Count:
"Never Let Momma Eat Beans(60, 30, 6, 3, 1)”
Neutrophils 60%
Lymphocytes 30%
Monocytes 6%
Eosinophils 3%
Basophils 1%

The 5 sphincters found in the Alimentary Canal are “APE OIL”:
Anal, Pyloric, Lower Esophogeal, Oddi, and Ileocecum.

Sickle cell disease pathophysiology
SICKle cell disease is due to a Substitution of the “SICKsth” (6th) amino acid of the B chain.

Sickle cell anemia: mutation
"HbS isn't Very Good":
At Sixth position of HB beta chain, Valine is present instead of Glutamic acid.

Glycolysis steps
"Goodness Gracious, Father Franklin Did Go By Picking Pumpkins (to) Prepare Pies":
Glucose
Glucose-6-P
Fructose-6-P
Fructose-1,6-diP
Dihydroxyacetone-P
Glyceraldehyde-P
1,3-Biphosphoglycerate
3-Phosphoglycerate
2-Phosphoglycerate (to)
Phosphoenolpyruvate [PEP] Pyruvate · 'Did', 'By' and 'Pies' tell you the first part of those three: di-, bi-, and py-.
· 'PrEPare' tells location of PEP in the process.

B vitamin names
"The Rhythm Nearly Proved Contagious":
· In increasing order: Thiamine (B1) Riboflavin (B2) Niacin (B3) Pyridoxine (B6) Cobalamin (B12)

Citric acid cycle compounds
"Oh! Can I Keep Some Succinate For Myself?":
Oxaloacetate Citrate Isocitrate Ketoglutarate Succinyl coA Succinate Fumarate Malate

Citric acid cycle compounds
"Oh Citric Acid Is Of (course) A SiLly STupid Funny Molecule":
Oxaloacetate Citrate Aconitate Isocitrate Oxalosuccinate Alpha-ketoglutarate SuccinyL-CoA SuccinaTe Fumarate Malate
· SilLy and sTupid used to differentiate succinyL and succinaTe

Citric acid cycle compounds
"Can I Ask Sharon Stone For My Orgasm?":
Citrate Isocitrate Alpha-Ketoglutarate Succinyl CoA Succinate Fumerate Maleate Oxaloacetate

Pyruvate: products of complete oxidation
"4 Naked Fun 3 Coeds + 1 Guy":
· Complete oxidation of pyruvate yields:
4 NADH FADH2 3 CO2 1 GTP

Enzymes: classification
"Over The HILL":
Oxidoreductases
Transferases
Hydrolases
Isomerases
Ligases
Lyases
· Enzymes get reaction over the hill.

Blots: function of Southern vs. Northern vs. Western“SN0W DR0P”
· Match up the 1st word letter with 2nd word letter:
Southern=DNA
Northern=RNA
Western=Protein
· The 0's in snow drop are zeros, since there is no Eastern blot.

Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium: causes for deviations from it
“Maggie May Does Not Smoke”
Mutations Migration Drift Non-random mating Selection

“GRIM END”
to remember the seven aspects of life
Growth, Reproduction, Irritability, Movement, Excretion, Nutrition, Death

“MRS. GREN”
to remember the seven characteristics of all living organisms
Movement, Reproduction, Sensitivity, Growth, Respiration, Excretion, Nutrition

“Idiot, Pass Me Another Tequila”
to remember the phases of mitosis (cell division).
Interphase, Prophase, Metaphase, Anaphase, Telophase

“Paul Clark Our Friendly Grief Spreader”
to remember taxonomy groupings
Phylum, Class, Order, Family, Genus and Species

Types of vaccines:
“STARK”
Subunit,Toxoid,Attenuated(live),Recombinant,Killed(inactivated)

Functions of Adrenal Gland
“ACTH”Adrenergic functions,Catabolism of proteins/Carbohydrate metabolism,T cell immunomodulation,Hyper/Hypo tension(blood pressure control)
