Is there any mnemonics to remember steps in cholesterol synthesis?

Question

I'm having a very hard time mugging up all the stuffs in biochemistry. Anything useful for remembering cholesterol synthesis?

Answer 1

I used a mnemonic to remember this stuff:

Ah! Ah! help me plan in diet good food stay low in cholesterol

℗ = Phosphate

1. Ah! → Acetyl CoA
2. Ah! → Acetoacetyl CoA
3. Help → HMG CoA
4. Me! → Mevalonate
5. Plan → ℗ mevalonate
6. In → Isopentenyl pyro ℗
7. Diet → Dimethylallyl pyro ℗
8. Good → Geraynl pyro ℗
9. Food → Farnesl pyro ℗
10. Stay → Squalene
11. Low (in) → Lanosterol
12. Cholesterol → Cholesterol
