Music about metabolic energy

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

Music about deltaG

Here it is a musica about deltaG made by Dr. Ahern (www.davincipress.com/metabmelodies.html), based in the song Oh Danny Boy.


Oh Delta Gee

Oh Delta Gee - the change in Gibbs free energy
Can tell us if a process will advance
'Cause if the value's less than naught it translates that
Reverse reactions haven't got a chance
But when the sign is plus it is the opposite
And then the backwards happens all the time
A factor is the standard Gibbs free energy
So don't forget about the delta G naught prime

Music about the thermodynamics of metabolism

The song Yesterday, from The Beatles, was used to create a music about the thermodynamics of the cellular metabolism. Here it is the final result, directly drom Dr. Ahern's imagination (www.davincipress.com/metabmelodies.html)...

The Cell's Lament

Instructor sings
Woe is me
My substrates are losing entropy
Causing gains in Gibbs free energy
Oh I can't lose no en - tro- py

Re-a-lly
I could use a source of enthalpy
To combat the rise in Delta G
Oh I believe in enthalpy


Everyone sings
I crave en-er-gy
Don't you see?
It's getting worse

My re-actions all
Soon will stall
And then rever-r-r-se

Instructor sings
ATP
It's the metabolic currency
Guess I'll spend a bit judiciously
To help reduce the Delta G
Help reduce the Delta G
