This article describes a new approach to teaching metabolic pathways, designed to engage students with the material, and its complexities. Based on a novel way of presenting metabolic pathways, in which the focus is placed on proteins rather than metabolites [1], simple tutorial‐based exercises and mini‐projects are described, bringing metabolism to life, yet requiring very few resources.
