Things said in BIOCHEM that made some neurological connections! There are so many of them made from past knowledge but here a few that actually stuck in mind:
Disulfide bonds!
These were taught in general chemistry. Sure, the meaning was understood, but what about real life? In curly hair!! The more curly the hair, the more disulfide bonds there are. It finally makes sense. Obviously there are many other places that can be found, but now there's a connection.
Proteins!
It's always been a mystery to me why proteins work the way they do. And why enzymes do what they do. Although some might think of it as a simple concept. I finally realized that the structure determines their function.
Chinese food syndrome!!
I always feel sick after eating Chinese food. Now I know that it really is the food that made me feel sick and not something else. It's because it contains lots of MSG which is linked to Glutamic Acid. It's obviously a flavor enhancer since I still eat Chinese food. It's just so delicious.
