The circular part in the middle is the Krebs cycle or the TCA (TriCarboxylic Acid) cycle.
This has been also called core metabolism.

It is thought to have been the beginnings of metabolism before commonly recognized life. Parts or most of it are thought to be auto-catalytic, possibly with the aid of naturally occurring mineral catalysts.
Other pathways were elaborted from this core of metabolism.

I can't open it but my friend had a T shirt, I bet it is something like your link. He studied Biochemistry. Why would you do that? JUST Biochemistry?
The most interesting part of A level Biology but when I hit Uni I realized Biochemistry was a lot of stuff that did not stay in my head as well as some of the other modules!

As an undergrad, I took a lot of chemistry.
I considered it a lot less interesting with each successive class until I got to biochemistry and the chemistry being studied better matched up with (and helped to further understand) my biological interests.

Awesome image!
Aren't we all sick and tired of slmple wallpapers? May o use it to print a wallpaper for my office?

There used to be a poster-print handed out by Boehringer Mannheim (here in Europe). You night want to ask their follow-up company - Roche - whether they still have it. But... ...I frankly doubt they'll supply you with enough copies for your wallpapering project.

Nice thing to have in your office when you're a bichemist or molecular biologist, though.


Also, this map is incomplete - photosynthesis is missing. So it's only a map of the animal / fungal / bacterial metabolism. Also - I only screened it - e,g, ascorbate synthesis also seems to be missing... ...so it's probably ohly the human cell metabolism (e.g. dogs synthesise ascorbate on their own)..
