This Biochemistry

(To the tune of “My Country ‘Tis of Thee”)

This bi-o-che-mis-try
Will be the death of me
Oh hear my plea

God knows that I have tried
To learn the glycosides
And all the polysaccharides
Oh let me be

Just what makes muscles sing
Is Cori cycling
Here’s how it goes

Hypoxic muscles make
A wad of lactate
The liver acts to generate
Some new glucose

Regulation is a zoo
PFK one and two
And there is more

Instructors make a fuss
With all their kinases
Like all that a Kardashian does
A crashing bore

B-DNA

PhosphatesAre in nucleotidesI say phosphatesCover bases insideI say phosphatesSpan the 5 and 3 primesThere’s no need-to-be-all-mixed-up
BasesCarry info you seeI say basesAre all complement’ryI say basesLike A,T,G and CThey have got-to-be–all-paired-up
It’s fun to play with some B-DNAIt’s got a boatload of G-C-T-AIt’s got everythingA polymerase needsWhen you melt all the A’s and T’s
It’s fun to play with some B-DNAIt’s got a boatload of G-C-T-AYou can make RNAsWith a po-ly-mer-aseJust by pairing up U’s with A’s

A Norwegian Would

Sven hopped in his boat
Didn’t get far. It wouldn’t float

He patched up a hole
Tried it again. Much better then
