In the nineteenth century chemistry was separated from medicine and reorganized as a "pure" academic science. Those left-over parts of chemistry that were more oriented towards medical application formed the nucleus of modern physiological chemistry, but could usually only exist in connection with other subjects. Especially the combination with physiology proved to be stable. Discipline building was delayed by the fact that a lot of physiologists resented a separation from physiology. Also in Göttingen physiological chemistry was attributed to the Physiological Institute, but initially still had close connections with the General chemical Laboratory. At the end of the nineteenth century a first attempt to establish itself as a discipline together with hygiene failed. Physiological chemistry stayed a part of physiology until 1939 when the Institute of Physiological Chemistry was finally founded. The Göttingen way is characteristic for the general establishment of the discipline in Germany.
在19世纪，化学从医学中分离出来，并被重新组织成为一门“纯”学术科学。化学中那些更倾向于医学应用的剩余部分形成了现代生理化学的核心，但通常只能与其他学科相关联而存在。尤其是与生理学的结合被证明是稳定的。学科建设因许多生理学家反感与生理学分离这一事实而延迟。在哥廷根，生理化学也隶属于生理研究所，但最初仍与普通化学实验室保持着密切联系。19世纪末，它首次尝试与卫生学一起成为一门独立学科，但未成功。直到1939年生理化学研究所最终成立之前，生理化学一直是生理学的一部分。哥廷根的这种方式是该学科在德国普遍确立的典型特征。
