IUPAC-IUBMB Joint Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature (JCBN)
and Nomenclature Committee of IUBMB (NC-IUBMB)

Extracts from Newsletter

The nomenclature committees publish newletters from time to time in various journals of biochemistry as a way of drawing attention to new recommendations, revisions to existing ones, current problems that are being studied, and to make minor recommendations that are too small to demand a full-scale document. In the future the committees hope that many of these functions will be fulfilled by these web pages. The full text of the 1996, 1999, 2004 and 2009 Newsletters are available.
