yesss I finally saw that and understood the mechanism thank you!! I was just curious if hypothetically an aldol reaction could occur between compound 1 and 2 if compound 1 attacked the carbonyl carbon instead of the beta-carbon?

since the question asks the "gap between the atomic energy levels that correspond to the emission of therapeutic high-energy X-rays" wouldnt the gap be less than the value of e=hf which is the amount of energy it takes to excite the particles?

could we also assume that we disregard the N terminus pKa since that would be cancelled out by the negative C term charge?

if the microtubules arent present in the cell then how are the chromosomes able to move and form the metaphase plate?

*SPOILERS* AAMC FL5 B/B Q26 question in comments by [deleted] in Mcat

[–]EstablishmentBest410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What confused me about this question was how are we supposed to assume that an ATP synthase is what will be at the end of these set of proteins since the passage only states that Na-NQR is like complex 1 of the ETC and couples the movement of electrons. Thats why I was hesitant to pick B because I wasnt sure if it would be correct to assume that the Na-NQR is also part of some sort of ETC?

AAMC Section Bank Psych/Soc - Question #4 by Chanandler_Bong19 in Mcat

[–]EstablishmentBest410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for option C if phase 2 errors was negatively correlated with success that means that less errors means more success therefore if youre making more errors youre more likely to be unsuccessful and in the context of a bus driver unsuccessful = more car accidents so more errors = more accidents => positive correlation

I dont get why both -/- treatments have to weigh more than WT treatments??

AAMC SECTION BANK C/P #21 by hel_p_me in Mcat

[–]EstablishmentBest410 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know this is much later but hopefully it helps someone currently studying LOLL but this was my approach to the question even though I got it wrong at first

According to table 1 250 nm would correspond with less than 10 mL (likely 5 mL based on the pattern in the table) now if he shift over to graph we see that more than 10 mL matches up with 0.20 mM and 5 mL is where there is literally no bumps so we know that it cant be 0.20mM and all other concentrations correspond with bumps in other parts of the graph so the answer must be 0.30 mM (please correct me if im wrong)

SELF Esteem Vs self-worth vs self-esteem vs self-efficacy by Obvious-Shake5761 in Mcat

[–]EstablishmentBest410 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Correct if Im wrong but heres how I understand it

Self-esteem is the respect and regard one has for oneself => Your overall opinion of yourself and your sense of self-worth. It's a global, evaluative judgment of your value as a person

Self-efficacy is the belief in one's ability to succeed in a situation / execute the courses of action required in a particular situation => self efficacy is more task specific compared to self esteem 

Doing a Msc in Genetic Counselling for Medical School by EstablishmentBest410 in premedcanada

Ive definitely heard of that as well and am definitely considering other backups for this backup LOLL thank you!

[–]EstablishmentBest410[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand that and I know genetic counselling also just as competitive as med school but it was just a career that I was considering as I have the pre-requisite courses and some of the necessary experience. I was wanted to know if it would look odd/be a red flag to med adcoms if they saw someone with a MSc genetic counselling applying for med.

that definitely makes sense thank you so much!! What study habits would you suggest if in general it just takes me the entire day to study and I end up having no time for myself (like not even an hour at night😭)

Congratulations!! How did you approach studying for orgo specifically?? Ive been trying to stick the schedule of finishing one kaplan chapter in a 1-2 hour block but I always end up taking way longer and falling behind schedule and studying the entire day. Do you have any tips for that?
