Biological Chemistry is a peer-reviewed scientific journal focusing on biological chemistry. The journal is published by Walter de Gruyter and the current editor-in-chief is Bernhard Brüne.
History
The journal was established by Felix Hoppe-Seyler in 1877, under the name Zeitschrift für Physiologische Chemie (English: Journal of Physiological Chemistry), and was edited by him until his death in 1895. The journal was subsequently renamed Hoppe-Seyler's Zeitschrift für Physiologische Chemie in 1896. Following Hoppe-Seyler, the journal was edited by his student and collaborator, the German biochemist and Nobel laureate Albrecht Kossel, until his death in 1927. In 1985 the journal was renamed as Biological Chemistry Hoppe-Seyler, before obtaining its current title in 1996.
