BIOCHEMISTRY
Biochemistry C1: Chemistry B3 prerequisite.—Lectures and laboratory 7
hours weekly during the second term and 14 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 Dr. Ludewig.
Biochemistry D1: Biochemistry C1 prerequisite.—This group meets twice a
month at night for two hours throughout the session. A seminar course in the
biochemistry of the diseases of nutrition and metabolism. Assignments in the
literature are made and the student abstracts and reports on some phase of the
topic to be discussed. An attempt is made to correlate recent advances in clinical
biochemistry to disease. An informal discussion is led by the faculty members.
The course is not given unless chosen by eight or more students.
Drs. Chanutin, Mulholland and Blackford.
Biochemistry D2: 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 D3: 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 D4: 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.
Dr. Chanutin.
Biochemistry D5: Biochemistry D1 prerequisite.—For those students properly
qualified the laboratory will be opened during the academic year and summer
vacation. Biochemical research.
Dr. Chanutin.
