Hey Guys..I wanted to know from someone that has taken the USMLE..
you know during the chapters like glycolysis,do we need to know all the steps of it? or just the important ones like rate limiting steps, and the activators and inhibitors of some of the steps? For example, PFK-1 is activated by AMP, fructose 2,6BP and inhibited by citrate and ATP...so basically do we need to know all the steps of glycolysis or just the major ones outlined in first aid? If someone could reply I would really appreciate it..
Thanx!

I would know what is clinically relevant as in what kind of questions they might ask about a certain process on how it pertains to gluconeogenesis, etc. They probably won't ask random stuff although they could, but unlikely.

First Aid stuff is really really high yield BUT it dosent cover everything that you MIGHT get. I feel kaplan has highlighted all the important stuff only (if you are doing kaplan dont skip anything) otherwise i cant say much about any other book.
