MCAT Ochem Passage Walkthrough w/ a 99th Percentile Scorer

[@chrisesca9927]

for number 2, since the question is asking which derivative is a diol, C was a dead giveaway because it included the name "dihydroxy" :)

I can't get over how mind-blowing this is.... I feel like I've only EVER been approaching C/P passages incorrectly.. Fantastic video, you make it look so easy!

[@campbeja001]

These questions have a difficulty level lower than traditional MCAT

Thanks man, I really like your strategy and am planning on trying it on my next practice MCAT.
1 question: what do you call that notation used in question 4 regarding the wild type amino acid/position/mutation of an active site on an enzyme? I took a full year of biochem back in Uni and don’t ever recall learning this. Maybe I wasn’t paying attention, lol.

[@Shemmassian]

Happy to hear, Mitch! That's just standard amino acid mutation nomenclature :)

Congrats, Tyler!

I never took chemistry in college so I’m basically doomed but thanks for the walkthrough!
