Biochemistry for Dummies
So there are just protons.. everywhere… just protons which are of course hydrogen ions and then there are the proteoglycans that are NOT and I mean NOT to be confused with the glycoproteins. And of course NADPH and NADH are not to be confused because they are oxidized.. why would you even think they are reduced—can’t you see the hydrogens which means the electrons came with them.. and no it is not inconvenient to associate hydrogen with protons now. And protein kinase A is not to be confused with pyruvate dehydogenase kinase which is active in the mitochondrion not the cytosol, silly, and also not to be confused with Phosphorylace Kinase.Oh and remember abreviations may be used in class such as PFK-1 for phosphofructokinase 1 but you will always be expected to know the longer name.
Is everyone clear now.. Good I am glad we have this little talk

See, that's why I stopped with a MS. My boss goes on and on about the degradation products of a particular enzyme, and I just nod and say, "uh, huh, now which would you like me to buy for our experiment?"
Sorry, forgot to sign. But out of curiousity, how many other biochemistry-related MS folks do you know out there?
