Mnemonics Flashcards
pyrimidines?
CUT PY pyrimidines are cytosine, uracil, and thymine
purines?
PUre As Gold purines are adenine and guanine
stop codons?
U Are Annoying, U Go Away, U Are Gone, UAA UGA UAG
rna polymerase
RMT
RNA polymerase 1 for rRNA
2 for mRNA
3 for tRNA
phases of cell cycle
I Pee on the MAT
interphase, prophase, metaphase, anaphase, telophase
atrioventricular valve names
LAB RAT : Left Atrium Bicuspid, Right A trium Tricuspid.
hormones secreted by the anterior pituitary gland
FLAT PiG
F SH, L H, A CTH, T SH, P rolactin, (the “i” is little so you can ignore it), Growth hormone
salty banana
K inside, Na outside

GAVLIFWMP.
charged amino acids
D ragons E at K nights R iding H orses… DEKRH
aromatic amino acids
wifey WFY
type of blotting and what is being tested on the blot
SNOW DROP
southern for DNA
northern for RNA
western for protein
visible spectrum colors high to low (740 nm to 380nm)
ROY G B i V for the visible spectrum
R ed, O range, Y ellow, G reen, B lue, V iolet.
most electronegative elements to least electronegative in covalent compounds
FONClBrISCH … F luorine, O xygen, N itrogen, C h l orine, Br omine, I odine, S ulfur, C arbon, and H ydrogen.
first three can H bond
equation for Gibbs Free Energy
Goldfish are Horrible Without Tartar Sauce
ΔG = ΔH – TΔS
strong acids
So I B rought No Cl ean Clo thes” to remember the strong acids:
H2 S O4,
H I ,
H Br ,
H NO 3,
H Cl ,
H ClO 4.
correct type for naturally occurring amino acids and carbohydrates
two major cities on opposite sides of the United States, Los Angeles (LA) and Washington, District of Columbia ( DC ). This stands for L Amino acids and D Carbohydrates.
thin-layer chromatography
polar is lower and slower ” (polar compounds move more slowly up the plate and are lower on the plate than nonpolar compounds) nonpolar elute faster
Furanose
Five membered ring
hydroxyl group orientation in beta anomer
“It’s better to B UP !!” to remember that the hydroxyl group points UP in a β anomer.
four things that increase a molecule’s stability
cowboys have hard, early days. They must RISE and go to the STABLE : R esonance, I nduction, S ize, and E lectronegativity (basically, anything that minimizes charge).
acetal vs ether
ether: c-o-c
acetal: o-c-o
NMR spectroscopy signal
D eshielded signals are more D ownfield (they have higher ppm values).
Piaget’s stages of cognitive development
S ome P eople C an F ly: S ensorimotor, P re-operational, C oncrete operational, and F ormal operational.
