"Hangover" Cozy Chart to create a beer cozy with the ibuprofen structure on one side and the ethanol metabolism pathway on the other.
My heptapeptide beer cozy chart was 32x33, versus this 42x45 chart. They both seem to fit onto bottles very nicely.
Bonus:
Incorporate the ethanol degradation pathway or the ibuprofen charts into your own
I hope that you've enjoyed my molecule knitting charts. Keep an eye out for more to come!
