Learn — how to read RNAwiki

New here? The whole site is one map: a problem → the protocol that fixes it → the compounds in it → the target each compound hits → the pathway it belongs to → the physiology underneath. Start at the top and drill down only as far as you want.

2. Foundations (the basics)

• Biology 101: the machine a drug acts on
• Pharmacokinetics: what the body does to the drug
• Pharmacodynamics: what the drug does to the body
• Evidence literacy: how to think like a researcher (the real expert skill)
• How to read an RNAwiki entry (and the core glossary)

3. Energy systems

• ATP–PCr system (phosphagen)
• Anaerobic glycolytic system (lactic)
• Aerobic oxidative system

4. Metabolism & physiology

• Insulin & blood-sugar control
• Glucose conversion (how the body stores & makes sugar)
• Fat storage & fat burning (how fat is managed)
• Protein & muscle turnover (build vs break down)

5. Muscle anatomy

• Abdominals
• Hip abductors
• Hip adductors
• Biceps brachii
• Calves
• Chest (pectorals)
• Forearms
• Glutes
• Hamstrings
• Lats (latissimus dorsi)
• Lower back (erector spinae)
• Middle back
• Neck
• Quadriceps
• Shoulders (deltoids)
• Trapezius
• Triceps brachii

6. The systems (advanced)

The 16 master pathways and their molecular targets — the deepest layer, for when you want to know why.
