Focuses on the structural and functional parts of the cell, including collagen synthesis and the dreaded lysosomal storage diseases (like Tay-Sachs and Gaucher disease).
Bridges the gap between biochemical pathways and real-world patient presentations, emphasizing inheritance patterns and genetic disorders. How the Visual Learning Works sketchy medical biochemistry

The "Sketchy method" relies on the (memory palaces). Each video presents a cohesive scene—for instance, the MCAT biochemistry course is set in "Sketchyland," a theme park where different rides represent specific pathways.
Sketchy Biochemistry is divided into logical units that mirror the foundational science blocks of the first two years of medical school:
A specific character or object (like a broken fence for a voltage-gated channel) consistently represents the same concept across different videos.
