    1. The medical biochemistry lecture “MCBM 5110 Lec 14 - Glycogen Metabolism and GSDs.pdf” is dragged from Chrome’s downloads onto Synaptic Recall’s upload page, with only Anki selected.
    2. The lecture uploads and Dr. Synapse starts building the deck, counting cards as they are written.
    3. The deck is ready: 31 cards from the lecture, with a Download Anki button.
    4. A card from the deck opens in Anki: “A 4-month-old girl has a seizure 3 h after a feed. Her liver is enlarged; glucose is 28…”
    5. Show Answer reveals: “von Gierke disease: glucose-6-phosphatase”
    6. The key term “von Gierke disease” opens its definition: Glycogen storage disease type I: glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency, so the liver cannot release free glucose.
    7. Dr. Synapse explains: “Glucose-6-phosphatase is the last step out of the liver for glucose from glycogen and from gluconeogenesis. Without it, glucagon still…”
    8. Anki scrolls down to the lecture slide the card came from: “Type I: von Gierke Disease”.
    9. The view moves onto the slide and a gold box marks the line the answer came from: “Glucose-6-phosphatase deficiency: G6P cannot leave the liver as glucose”.
    10. End card: “Your metabolism lecture, ready for Anki”, an Upload now button, and “3 free credits · no card needed”.

    Turning one biochem lecture into a useful deck can take hours.

    This deck is built directly from your lecture, so you can spend that time practicing active recall.

    What every card includes

    We build your deck directly from your source material, so you can spend that time actually practicing active recall.

    • The right number of cards for the material, not one per bullet point
    • The right question for each fact, worded so you can’t answer it by recognition
    • The slide it came from on the card, so you know exactly where the information is
    • A dropdown with a further explanation
    • Key terms highlighted, with what each one means and where the word comes from

    Ready for Anki

    Active recall means trying to answer a question from memory before checking the answer, and Anki gives you that practice one question at a time.

    The deck downloads as an .apkg file that Anki imports.

    How it works

    Upload one lecture as a PDF or PowerPoint.

    The system is three simple steps you do for every one of your lectures:

    • Understand the why behind the information: the Story
    • Memorize with active recall: the Anki deck
    • Apply it to real exam questions: the practice exam
    The upload page tailored for Medical Biochemistry, with a lecture PDF dropped in and the Anki deck selected

    Free to try

    New accounts start with three free credits, and no card is needed.

    Three credits cover one lecture with all three study modes.
