CTLE October 2026 | Top 10 🏅🍀 (unannounced)
With only 7 days of self-review, I honestly didn’t expect much. I’m just grateful that all the learnings and experiences along the way still came through. Finally, RChT! 🤍
All glory to God. Forever grateful for this blessing. 🙏
Whenever I see bleeding heart doves. I always associate it with the assay of Digoxin kasi diba Pigeon ung model animal hehe #Pigeotoxin
First time ko mag search paano ba yung curving. Nacurious ako😅
Pag naka zero ka pala, 40% mag reflect sa score kasi hindi base zero?
Sample score 1:
50 (raw) -> 70 (curved). +20 🤯
Sample score 2:
84 (raw) -> 90.4 (curved). +6 🥹
Ganun pala un guys 😅
Correct answer: Procarboxypeptidase
Trypsin
- hydrolyzes protein to smaller polypeptide chains
- In the intestine, it activates the other pancreatic digestive enzymes e.g., chymotrypsinogen, procarboxypeptidase, prolipase, and proelastase
Correct answer: II, I, III, IV
Steps
1. Decarboxylation of AA precursor to form 1° amine
2. Condensation of amine w/ C=O of aldehydes (Schiff Base/ Iminium Ion Formation)
3. Condensation of iminium ion w/ enol (or enolate) (Mannich condensation)
4. Formation/Cyclization of Alk.
Arrange the sequence of steps in alkaloid biosynthesis
I. Formation of Schiff base
II. Decarboxylation of amino acid precursor to produce primary amines
III. Condensation of Schiff base with enol (or enolate)
IV. Formation of alkaloid

Rationale:
Prophylatic shot: PCV13 (first dose) and PPSV23 (second dose) given at 1 year interval
Booster shot: PPSV23 must be given 5 years after the first PPSV23 dose
