Metabolism Course Notes
These are the course notes for my introductory class on metabolism. The focus is on human metabolism and on those metabolic pathways that are required for generating metabolic energy (ATP) and reducing power (NADPH). Some clinical aspects of metabolism and metabolic aberrations are presented as well.
Where not stated otherwise, the material has been prepared by myself. Feel free to use it in your own teaching if you like. If you find errors, please let me know. Thanks, M. Palmer
