    Biology is really just chemistry after four billion years of bumping random shit together. All of this is just 4 rings with random H’s, O’s or OH’s placed around.

    I love the naming sometimes. Add an OH group somewhere to 5a-Dihydroprogresterone? Now it’s called 5a-Pregnan-17a-ol-3,20-dione because we ran out of new names to give.
