The Role of Practical Work in Teaching Physical Chemistry

Changes in attitudes towards chemical education and changes in physical chemistry itself invite a re-examination of the role of practical work in the teaching of physical chemistry. Several functions of laboratory work in physical chemistry are readily recognized. First, it gives opportunity for the student to acquire manipulative skills and secondly provides experience in making observations i...

Profile of James M. Berger.

Whether he is restoring his 1976 Triumph TR6 British roadster or analyzing proteins, James Berger is curious about how machines work and what fuels them. Berger, a professor in the Department of Biophysics and Biophysical Chemistry at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, primarily studies biological nanomachines, which are fueled by the cellular energy currency ATP and carry out coordin...

Practical Physiological Chemistry

This little book is designed to present in brief outline form the basic principles underlying radioactivity, the derivation of a wide variety of artificial radioactive isotopes, and the application of these substances to biological problems. Following a discussion of the structure of atomic nuclei, the authors describe methods by which radioactive elements may be detected and suggest procedures...
