BIOCHEMISTRY
Biochemistry C1: Chemistry B3 prerequisite.—Lectures and laboratory 9
hours weekly during the second and third terms. 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 Assistants.
Biochemistry D1: Biochemistry C1 prerequisite.—6 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.—1 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.—2 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.
