This podcast covers the target enzymes of NSAIDS and cortisol and their respective effects on inflammation. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students. Similar content is available at: MEDBIOCHEM.ORG

This podcast covers the effect of phophorylstion/dephosphorylation by protein kinases and phosphatases on enzyme activity. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students. Similar content is available at: MEDBIOCHEM.ORG

This podcast covers the activation of the Insulin receptor resulting in activation of an intracellular protein phosphatase. The deposphorylation of eight enzymes is also covered. This dephosphorylation results in profound effects on carbohydrate, lipid and protein metabolism. This biochemistry content may be useful to premedical and medical students.

This podcast covers the key components of the adenylate cyclase system including receptor activation, G-protein involved, activation of adenylate cyclase , production of cAMP, activation of PKA and termination of the actions of cAMP . Also included is a historical perspective of the discovery of G-proteins the adeylate cyclase system.
