Biochemistry is full of reactions and cascades of them.
And how to study it, is simple.
Have the idea what changes into what.
Glycolysis is glucose to pyruvate. There are 6 carbons, it must become
3, and the energy released should be trapped too. This is not easily
achieved in a single step. And so, there are multiple reactions.
Phosphorylation makes the compound easy to break. and so on..
You have a keto bond. You need to make this a C-N bond. Enter an
aspartate moiety and it's thrown out as fumarate and what will remain is
an amine! and so on..
