Welcome to BMC Biochemistry published by BioMed Central
BMC Biochemistry is an open access journal publishing original peer-reviewed research articles in all aspects of biochemical processes, including the structure, function and dynamics of metabolic pathways, supramolecular complexes, enzymes, proteins, nucleic acids and small molecular components of organelles, cells and tissues.
BMC Biochemistry (ISSN 1471-2091) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, EMBASE, Scopus, Zoological Record, Thomson Reuters (ISI) and Google Scholar.

The new version of the Cytochrome P450 Engineering Database (CYPED) contains information on the sequences of 8613 proteins and the structures of 47 proteins, and has been extended by integrating biochemical information from the Cytochrome P450 Knowledgebase.

Biosynthesis of the proteosome inhibitor syringolin A is directed by the syl gene cluster of phytopathogenic bacterium Pseudomonas syringae pv. syringae B728a after heterologous transfer, with CO2 being incorporated to form the unusual ureido group.

Our understanding of how SAPS-related proteins differentially regulate closely-related Ser/Thr phosphatases is advanced by a study indicating that human PP6R3 forms distinctive helical repeats within its conserved SAPS domain and uses interhelical loops to associate with protein phosphatase 6.
