Life is based on four principle cellular components: proteins, lipids, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids. Biochemistry is concerned with the structure, function, and interactions of these compounds with one another and their environment. As such biochemistry plays a vital part in all aspects of the medical sciences since it not only helps us to understand how the (human) cell works on a molecular level but also how to decipher and possibly counter pathogenic conditions. Consider that almost all drugs used in medical treatment target proteins or groups of proteins to modulate their biochemical properties.

This course examines social, political, and religious developments in the Americas from the colonial era with a particular focus on the years following the Second Vatican Council through the present day in order to explore a range of issues regarding the nature of religion, politics, and the role of the Catholic Church.

This course will examine the Church in the modern world-- with an emphasis on the relationship between Catholicism and democracy, placing particular stress on their relevance to contemporary American public life. In this context, Catholicism will be understood not only as a religious institution, but as the source of a tradition of communitarian social and political thought, while democracy will be understood not only as a form of government, but also as an ethos shaping American society. Authors and texts will include Alexis de Toucqueville, Orestes Brownson, Dorothy Day, John Courtney Murray, and relevant documents from Vatican II and the American hierarchy. The historic tension between Catholicism and democracy will be the subject of our conversation as will the possibilities for greater harmony between them. In particular, we will explore the possibility that Catholicism's communitarian orientation might serve as a corrective to American individualism and consumerism, while democratic institutions and practices might have something to offer Catholicism.
