BiochemiGtry deale with the chemical procese th.t
go on in living matter. To properly comprehend this ever
growing field. of modern science dewni:inds a firm foundation In
all areas of science but especially th the specific areas of
chemistry and biology. To provide a proper prospective
between the biological and chemical pnroach it is
sent5.l
that these coursee be taken simultaneously and at an early
level.
At most other uriiverits w1re biochemistry i
