ok. to start off, i'm currently doing the final year of my degree, majoring in cell and molecular biology. hence, i can appreciate the level of complexities we see daily in biochemistry. i do have to handle topics like G proteins and MAP kinase pathways.
first of all, i don't see the difference necessary in PRing bio texts from other books. do it the same way, it works. i'm still working very much on activating the books i've read (Vol 200 to 305 of Methods in Enzymology). since i first started, i've gained much insights into the old materials i've learnt and find learning new things much much easier.
for chemical structures, i'll use image streaming and visualize it in 3D, playing around with it. i find this very useful in helping me understanding protein structures as well.
for anatomy, i'll say, use whenever possible. next time when u see your friend, visualize his skeletal system, etc., to whatever detail you want. next time when you are eating chicken, think about which part, which muscle you are eating, which joint and bones there are.
your ground knowledge are extremely useful in learning new things. visualize......
