BIOCHEMISTRY
Biochemistry C1: Chemistry B3 prerequisite.—Lectures and recitations,
three hours weekly during the second and third terms; and laboratory six hours
weekly during the second term and nine hours weekly during the third term.
Course comprises the chemistry of proteins, fats, and carbohydrates; digestion,
intestinal putrefaction, feces; blood, milk, and bile; particular attention is devoted
to the chemical physiology of digestion, secretion, excretion, internal secretion,
intermediary metabolism, and nutrition. Laboratory work includes the
study of carbohydrates, fats, proteins, purine compounds, etc.; gastric contents,
blood, milk, and urine; the digestive enzymes and the digestion of foods; and
extensive qualitative and quantitative work on urine.
Dr. Chanutin and Mr. Silvette.
Biochemistry D1: Biochemistry C1 prerequisite.—Six hours of laboratory
work a week during the entire year. Biochemical preparations. Individual instruction
is given in the separation, purification and identification of products of
biochemical nature.
Dr. Chanutin.
Biochemistry D2: Biochemistry C1 prerequisite.—One hour a week during
the entire year. Physiology of nutrition. An attempt is made to cover the subject
of nutrition in its broadest aspects. Various phases of digestion, respiratory,
basal and intermediary metabolism are studied.
Dr. Chanutin.
Biochemistry D3: Biochemistry C1 prerequisite.—Two hours a week during
the entire year. Biochemical seminar. Papers pertaining to Biochemistry
and related subjects in the English, German and French literature are read by
the participants. The student is enabled to keep in touch with the advances
made in the subject.
Dr. Chanutin.
Biochemistry D4: Biochemistry D1 prerequisite.—For those students properly
qualified the laboratory will be opened during the academic year and summer
vacation. Biochemical research.
Dr. Chanutin.
