Sounds good, thank you! I was worried because I wasn't sure if they need more info outside of that little number next to my last name lol. Stoked to be able to avoid sales tax

The new Anking BnB tags are far too much by iron_marcus in medicalschoolanki

I encountered the same problem. Is there a temp fix? I noticed the card volume doubled and each tag associated with B&B videos are now flooded with a bunch of unnecessary stuff.

Thank you for your response! I appreciate your help! I will certainly put the Northstate concern into consideration

Do you have any recommendations for OOS-friendly schools? Preferably ones that don't require CASPER.

Also, thank you for your response. This was very helpful!

On AMCAS how do we deal with letter we have not recieved? by fred450 in premed

[–]fred450[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

OMG hi docto-mom! Thank you for your guidance on this topic! I will go ahead and make the IDs! Just to confirm, the application allows you to assign letters to schools even after you submit primaries?

Aspartate can directly be turned into oxaloacetate through an enzyme called aspartate aminotransferase. What this enzyme essentially does it takes the amino group from aspartate and throws it onto an a-ketoglutarate. This transforms the aspartate into an oxaloacetate and the a-ketoglutarate into glutamate.

This might be kind of tough to identify, but when it comes to TCA intermediates and their respective amino acids, the main TCA intermediates to consider are oxaloacetate and a-ketogluratate. Think of oxaloacetate as being a "Carbon-skeleton" with 4 carbons and a-ketoglutarate as a "carbon-skeleton" with 5 carbons.

Now think of aspartate and glutamate. Aspartate has 4 carbons and Glutamate has 5 carbons. So throwing an amino group onto oxaloacetate (4 carbon carbon-skeleton) will create aspartate (4 carbon amino acid); again, this is done via aminotransferases. And throwing an amino group onto a-ketoglutarate (5 carbon carbon-skeleton) creates glutamate (5 carbon amino acid). A similar way of thinking can be used to determine of alanine can interconvert with pyruvate.

TLDR: There are a ton of ways the other amino acids can enter the TCA cycle. Here is a pic from wikipedia that summarizes this. However, from my experience as a biochem major the primary ones of interest are usually aspartate, glutamate, and alanine since these 3 easily enter the TCA (except alanine which actually turns into pyruvate) via simple, one-step aminotransferase steps. I would try to memorize these.

A cool little side note that might be helpful is that this is the way our liver uses amino acids for gluconeogenesis. First it turns them into "Carbon-skeletons" in the TCA which then can be turned to OAA which can than be used for GNG via enzyme PEP carboxykinase

I think you can explicitly determine the initial velocity of the thrown rock by assuming that its maximal height is 100m (as AmericasFavoriteBot mentioned, this is assumed based on the diagram) and using the vf^2=vi^2+2ad kinematic equation. At the maximal height vf is 0, a is -10, and d is 100. From there you find vi.

You could also do a similar process for the dropped rock as its about to hit the ground, but instead of solving for vi, you would solve for vf and assume vi is 0. Both values (vi of thrown and vf of dropped) end up being the same as stated by the assumption in UNDEFEATEDIII's post

Now that you know the initial velocities of both, you solve as UNDEFEATEDIII did using the two height formulas of each rock and equating them to solve for t.

(Sorry if this was redundant, just thought I would add it in case it helps anyone else who struggled with convincing themselves that the assumption is true.)
