Biochemical chart.

Biochemical chart.

You can choose any pathway. It can be found in any organism. Draw the pathway in an artistically and scientifically self-consistent manner. Include information that conveys the purpose (function) of the pathway. It is up to you to decide which elements of the pathway to include in your chart.

Common scientific elements include:

• Names of the substrates and products of the individual metabolic reaction steps.
• Key chemical structures, or even every chemical structure, of the substrates and products.
• The names of the enzymes in the metabolic steps.
• Additional information about key enzymes (For example, do they require cofactors? How might their protein structures or phosphorylation state affect the pathway?)
• Information in the chart about how the pathway is regulated.
• You don’t have to include all of these elements: it is your chart, so choose what you like. Sometimes less is more!

Common artistic elements include:

• A coloring and stylistic scheme that helps the eye distinguish small molecules from large molecules, or input molecules from output molecules
• Artistic flourishes that draw attention to high-energy molecules or molecules of energy currency like ATP.
• Artistic consistency throughout the chart, and neatness counts.
• Use of typefaces and chemical drawings that make it easy to follow the chart
• A one-page is preferable to a lengthy stack of pages. Think of your chart as an informative map that reveals what you need to know at a glance.

I have attached an example below-

The main purpose of a chart is, to sum up, the function of a metabolic pathway.
