Abstract: Before the Second World War biochemistry in the United States had a strong flavor of clinical chemistry. It was much occupied with problems of analysis of blood and tissues and the determination of the structures of body constituents. This was important and indeed essential work, but American students had to go abroad to Germany or to England for training in what came to be called dynamic aspects of biochemistry. After the war, the flow of students was largely reversed. This transformation was in considerable part the result of new insights and new approaches brought to America by immigrant scientists.
