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 biochemistry, including metabolic pathways, enzyme functions, and small molecular components of cells and tissues.
BMC Biochemistry (ISSN 1471-2091) is indexed/tracked/covered by PubMed, MEDLINE, BIOSIS, CAS, Scopus, EMBASE, Zoological Record and Google Scholar.
BMC Biochemistry 2008, 9 :8
Putative roles for six proteins in the biosynthesis pathway of pyrroloquinoline quinone, a bacterial redox-active cofactor for numerous alcohol and aldose dehydrogenases, have been assigned in Klebsiella by integrating structural, genomic and functional data.
BMC Biochemistry 2008, 9 :3
Cry1Aa toxin from Bacillus thuringiensis has been successfully engineered to reduce its biological activity against a non-target insect, the silk worm Bombyx mori, while retaining activity against a pest species, the gypsy moth Lymantria dispar.
