Abstract
IN no department of chemistry has greater progress been made during comparatively recent years than in biochemistry—the youngest and in some respects the most fascinating of the various branches into which chemical science has, for purposes of convenience, been partitioned. The beauty, the mystery, and the deep import of the phenomena with which biochemistry is concerned cannot fail to make a strong appeal to the scientific imagination, even at a time when brilliant and fundamental discoveries in other branches of chemistry are so insistently claiming our attention and exciting our admiration and wonder.
