Fortunately, the Biochemistry Department at the University of Wisconsin in Madison was outstanding and far ahead of most others in the country.

The war project at Stanford was essentially completed, and I accepted an offer of an Assistant Professorship at the University of Minnesota, which had a good biochemistry department.
It is one of the more striking generalizations of biochemistry - which surprisingly is hardly ever mentioned in the biochemical textbooks - that the twenty amino acids and the four bases, are, with minor reservations, the same throughout Nature.
Her death contributed to my later interest in studying biochemistry, an interest that has not been fulfilled in the sense that my accomplishments remain more at the basic than the applied level.
Sound familiar Don't despair. Who says Mother Nature isn't ripe for a con Helen Fisher suspects that you can fool your biochemistry into believing you're still back in the chase phase. Novel experiences drive up levels of dopamine in the brain, ... can stimulate the release of testosterone, the hormone of sexual desire.
No one had ever labeled the components to follow them over time, to see one clock as it ticks away in a single cell. All the biochemistry and molecular biology that had been done on this had been piecing together information from dead flies.
We have three new cross-college programs that we do in collaboration with the College of Arts and Sciences and the Rubenstein School. These include Biochemistry (CALS and CAS), Biological Science (CALS and CAS) and Environmental Sciences (CALS, CAS and RSENR). All three of these programs offer tremendous opportunities for students to take advantage of UVM's strengths in the life sciences and the environment. If you have any specific questions about these programs please let me know or you can contact the department chairs directly.
By the time I was 12 or 13, I was studying biochemistry textbooks.
Organic chemistry is the study of carbon compounds. Biochemistry is the study of carbon compounds that crawl.
The quality of your life is dependent upon the quality of the life of your cells. If the bloodstream is filled with waste products, the resulting environment does not promote a strong, vibrant, healthy cell life-nor a biochemistry capable of creating a balanced emotional life for an individual.
After taking my B.A. degree in 1939 I remained at the University for a further year to take an advanced course in Biochemistry, and surprised myself and my teachers by obtaining a first class examination result.
In marked contrast to the University of Wisconsin, Biochemistry was hardly visible at Stanford in 1945, consisting of only two professors in the chemistry department.
By then, I was making the slow transition from classical biochemistry to molecular biology and becoming increasingly preoccupied with how genes act and how proteins are made.
An unexpected benefit of my career in biochemistry has been travel.
