“It is an old saying, abundantly justified, that where sciences meet there growth occurs. It is true moreover to say that in scientific borderlands not only are facts gathered that [are] often new in kind, but it is in these regions that wholly new concepts arise. It is my own faith that just as the older biology from its faithful studies of external forms provided a new concept in the doctrine of evolution, so the new biology is yet fated to furnish entirely new fundamental concepts of science, at which physics and chemistry when concerned with the non-living alone could never arrive.” KindFactsFormScienceGrowthMy OwnStudyTheoryEvolutionConceptsConcernedFundamentalsPhysicsAriseDoctrineFaithfulRegionsBiologyChemistryJustifiedOld SayingLiving Alone Author:Frederick Gowland Hopkins
“My main thesis will be that in the study of the intermediate processes of metabolism we have to deal not with complex substances which elude ordinary chemical methods, but with the simple substances undergoing comprehensible reactions... I intend also to emphasise the fact that it is not alone with the separation and identification of products from the animal that our present studies deal; but with their reactions in the body; with the dynamic side of biochemical phenomena.” FactsBodyProcessSidesSimpleAnimalDealsStudyProductsOrdinaryMethodComplexesSeparationReactionsSubstanceChemicalsNot AloneIdentificationThesisEludeMetabolismBiochemistry Author:Frederick Gowland Hopkins
