The Beatles, with its famous song Let it Be, inspired Dr. Ahern to make a music about metabolic energy... :)

En-er-gy
Instructor sings
When I was walking through the forest
Grizzly bears came after me
So I was badly needing
En-er-gy
My body dumped some epinephrine
Out into the blood for me
'Cause I was badly needing
En-er-gy
Everyone sings
En-er-gy / En-er-gy
En-er-gy / En-er-gy
I was badly needing
En-er-gy
Instructor sings
The epinephrine gave a kick to
Enzymes deep inside of me
To make a bunch of cyclic
AMP
And when this hit my protein kinase
Catalytic ecstasy
The C subunits started
Adding P's
Everyone sings
Adding P's, adding P's
Adding P's, adding P's
Phosphorylation city
Adding P's
Instructor sings
The protein kinase put a phosphate
Onto PBK for me
Using energy from
ATP
And PBK in turn provided
GPa from GPb
So I released a ton of
G1P
Everyone sings
G1P / energy
G1P / energy
California needs some
G1P
Instructor sings
And when the chaos had subsided
I consumed some Frito Lays
Which soon began reversing
These pathways
The glucose halted epinephrine
Insulin began the race to
Turn on Phosphoprotein
Phosphatase
Everyone sings
Phosphatase - cleaves the P's
Phosphatase - cleaves the P's
The dephosphorylation
Cleaves the P's
This blog intends to display concepts, informations, musics, videos, games, cartoons, curiosities about biochemical issues. Because Biochemistry does not have to be incomprehensible...
