A suggested module detailing biopharmaceuticals suitable for inclusion in undergraduate applied biochemistry/biochemistry programs

AbstractA 26 lecture module is outlined which details the biochemistry and biotechnology of biopharmaceutical substances. It is designed to equip students undertaking programs in applied biochemistry/biochemistry with an understanding of concepts, both academic and applied, directly relevant to working in the biopharmaceutical sector.

Teaching clinical biochemistry in an integrated curriculum. Can it work?

The first group of students at Flinders graduated this year. They have been exposed to clinical biochemistry teaching in every year of the course. However, despite being taught by a clinical biochemistry staff specifically recruited with a view to teaching medical students, the evidence is that our students will be deficient in clinical biochemistry at the basic level and no better than their peers from other schools at the clinical level. Why is this?In the basic years, the main difficulty is the integrated curriculum. Biochemistry applies to every system and to every cell. In theory, to teach biochemistry in an integrated form would result in a presentation too fragmented to teach or digest. A compromise must be reached. In practice, a separate biochemistry course is carved out of the curriculum, but because it does not fit in with the ‘systems’ courses, it is regarded with some disdain and squeezed for available hours. This means that much biochemistry is left in the systems cou Read more...

Three years experience with an on-line biochemistry computer system

Rapid advances in automation have introduced many new problems into the clinical biochemistry laboratory; viz., the tremendous increase in the number of tests which can now be carried out daily, the problem of returning the results of these tests rapidly to the medical practitioner and the no less important problem of maintaining the quality of result.This paper outlines the attempt by the Royal Prince Alfred Hospital to develop an on-line biochemistry computer system, to enable this hospital to cope with these problems.Some of the main features of the system are: machine readable biochemistry request cards which set up simultaneously a patient biochemistry record on magnetic disc and autoanalyser loading lists; patient identified computer calculated results, including drift correction, directly from analyser recorders with check on carry-over and short sampling. Immediate teletype output in the laboratory and line printer output for distribution of biochemistry results is available.

Medical students' and general practitioners' perception of biochemistry in relation to medicine

AbstractTwo hundred medical students from the Faculty of Medicine, Ahmadu Bello University, and twenty five general practitioners (GPs) were used to deduce how far the present method of teaching affected the perception conception of biochemistry in relation to medical studies and practices. About half of the surveyed population did not enjoy the teaching and 60% of students described various difficult aspects of the subject. Fourteen percent of students and 8% of GPs believed in training medical students without Biochemistry, although all agreed its relevance in medicine. Suggestions were then made for overall improvement of Biochemistry teaching.

Review50 Years ago Frederick Gowland Hopkins defends the existence of biochemistry

AbstractThe new physiology is biological physiology—not biophysics or biochemistry. The attempt to analyse living organisms into physical and chemical mechanism is probably the most colossal failure in the whole history of modern science.

Chapter 1 - The Subject-matter of Biochemistry

Publisher SummaryThis chapter discusses the subject matter of biochemistry. Biochemistry is molecular biology, the study and the interpretation of the chemical changes associated with life. Life is indefinable but is recognized by its manifestation in material organisms assembled from a limited number of relatively common chemical elements, temporarily associated as compounds and systems. The plan most usually adopted in studying animal biochemistry is to start with the general composition of the organism and the chemical characteristics of the chief organic and inorganic compounds that enter into its structure. Then, the chemical composition of the tissues and physiological systems is examined, and tissue properties are explained in terms of tissue chemistry. Finally, the composition of the diet is investigated along with the significance of each constituent, its changes during digestion, and its intermediate metabolism and forms of excretion.

CHAPTER I - Organic Chemistry and Biochemistry

Publisher SummaryThis chapter presents a brief discussion on the concepts of organic chemistry and biochemistry. Biochemistry concerns carbon compounds and their reactions as they occur in organisms. Organic chemistry, or the chemistry of carbon compounds, therefore, is basic to biochemistry. The great variety of organic compounds may be explained by the ease with which carbon atoms can attach to each other. As carbon is tetravalent, a great many possibilities for branching arise, leading to a staggering number of carbon skeletons. If the remaining valence bonds are filled with hydrogen, then the result is a hydrocarbon. A further reason for the great variability of organic compounds is found in the presence of functional groups. Salt formation, written analogously to ammonium ion formation, is the most important functional reaction of amino compounds.

Application of thermoanalytical methods in biochemistry and biotechnology

AbstractSome new applications of isothermal and adiabatic calorimetry and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) in biochemistry/biology and biotechnology are presented. Those processes which are connected with the microbial metabolism, its control and stimulationor hindering by drugs seem to be the most promising fields for further calorimetric investigations.

15 - Free Radicals and Liver Injury

Publisher SummaryThis chapter provides an overview of the free radicals in experimental and clinical liver injury. The liver is the most intensively studied animal tissue in biochemistry. The liver contains, in abundance, all of the enzymes and substrates of the intermediate biochemistry pathways and is a tissue that readily lends itself to practical investigation. For similar reasons, the liver has been at the centre of research into free radical biochemistry. Free radicals have become accepted into the orthodoxy of biochemistry and medicine—the spotlight has been less on the liver, and more on other organs such as the heart and the brain. But the liver remains an important tissue to be considered in this field not just as a source of experimental material but as an important target organ in the clinical situation, as discussed in the chapter. In common with CCl4, a free-radical metabolite of ethanol has been detected and proposed as an important toxic intermediate.

Future trendToxoplasma gondii and the biochemistry of intracellular parasitism

AbstractToxoplasma gondii is an obligate intracellular protozoan parasite that can cause severe congenital malformations. Since this parasite grows well in all cultured cells, the many mutant cell lines now available should be useful in studying the biochemistry of the host-parasite relationship.

Training and education in clinical biochemistry in the United Kingdom☆

AbstractIn the United Kingdom, clinical biochemistry is practised by medical and non-medical graduates. Their training is postgraduate, led by the profession and has a strong vocational orientation. Although there is considerable overlap between the training of medical and non-medical graduates, each group has a different career structure and different training requirements. The training of non-medical biochemists has recently been restructured. Their new training programme is described in detail; for comparison, the training of medical graduates is outlined.

Chapter Nine - Overview of the Lens

AbstractIn order to accomplish its function of transmitting and focusing light, the crystalline lens of the vertebrate eye has evolved a unique cellular structure and protein complement. These distinct adaptations have provided a rich source of scientific discovery ranging from biochemistry and genetics to optics and physics. In addition, because of these adaptations, lens cells persist for the lifetime of an organism, providing an excellent model of the aging process. The chapters dealing with the lens will demonstrate how the different aspects of lens biology and biochemistry combine in this singular refractive organ to accomplish its critical role in the visual system.
