Journal of Biological Chemistry

jbc 

The Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC) 
For more than 100 years, the JBC has been an essential resource for the international community of biomedical researchers. Today, the Journal continues to be a standard-bearer for excellence in the fields of biochemistry and molecular biology.

In November 2012, the journal launched the affinity sites,  which are websites organized by the subspecialties of biochemistry and molecular biology. Each site carries content specific to that subspecialty but also highlights connections to other areas of research. JBC Editor-in-Chief Martha J. Fedor at The Scripps Research Institute says new affinity groups will make browsing the Journal’s extensive body of research more efficient and possibly foster collaboration between the Journal’s contributors.

Papers of the Week
The Papers of the Week highlight what we consider to be the best papers we receive for publication in JBC. They are selected by our Associate Editors and Editorial Board Members and represent the top 1 percent of papers reviewed in terms of significance and overall importance. The papers are accompanied by a brief summary that explains the findings of the paper and why it was chosen for this honor.		 Minireviews
The Council, Publications Committee, Editor, and Associate Editors of the JBC developed Minireviews in the hopes that readers will keep abreast of the rapid advances and trends in biochemical research outside their own area of expertise. The goal is to have a concise and overall summary of a particular field which will be understandable to biochemists working in other areas.
Classics
The advances in electronic publishing, pioneered by JBC in 1995, allow us to present proudly some of the many seminal articles published since the Journal's founding in 1905. The papers, which are reprinted in their original form, are accompanied by a biographical introduction and brief summary of the article.		 Reflections
In honor of the JBC Centenary, celebrated in 2005, we initiated a series of articles, Reflections, authored by biochemists whose contributions have helped mark the many advances in biochemistry and molecular biology since 1905. Reflections are invited articles by respected biochemists on a topic of their choosing.
