Journal of Biochemistry

Aims & Scope

The Journal of Biochemistry founded in 1922 publishes the results of original research in the fields of Biochemistry, Molecular Biology, Cell, and Biotechnology written in English in the form of Regular Papers or Rapid Communications.

A Rapid Communication is not a preliminary note, but it is, though brief, a complete and final publication.

The materials described in Rapid Communications should not be included in a later paper.

The Journal also publishes short reviews (JB Review) and papers solicited by the Editorial Board.
