Metabolic pathways

Every FMK pathway as a clickable map. Pick one pathway to hammer it — next step, enzyme, regulator, cofactor, and the facts that get tested (NADPH and who needs it, rate-limiting steps, deficiencies) — or set it to all pathways for a mixed drill. Every answer says which enzyme and which pathway.

Pathway
Lipolysis, carnitine shuttle & β-oxidation · Adipose (lipolysis) → mitochondrial matrix (β-oxidation); peroxisomes for very-long-chain. Enzymes sit beside the arrows; a ★ marks the rate-limiting step. The map scrolls inside its panel.
