BiochemiStories

A Collection of Tales from the 24 Hours Preceding the Biochemistry Exam:

1. I always wondered what exactly carbohydrates were. It turns out that they're chains of CARBON atoms that have been HYDRATED by -OH attachments. I get it!

2. Richie on how to remember amino acids that contain amide functional groups in their R chains: "It's easy, their names all end in "-ine." I believed this until I realized that ALL of the amino acids end in "-ine."

3. Cameron on someone we know who breaks out when she's stressed: "She has a RIDICULOUS danger zone!" [excessive laughter] "Three points for Gryffindor!"

4. I was videochatting via iChat with Kathryn and Cameron walked behind me and mooned her. AWKWARD!!

Don't find these stories funny? Try studying for 15 hours straight; I assure you they'll be HILARIOUS.
