History of biochemistry
The term “biochemistry” itself is derived from the combining form "bio-", meaning "life", and "chemistry". The word is first recorded in English in 1848, while in 1877, Felix Hoppe-Seyler used the term ("Biochemie" in German) in the foreword to the first issue of "Zeitschrift für Physiologische Chemie" (Journal of Physiological Chemistry) as a synonym for physiological chemistry and argued for the setting up of institutes dedicate to its studies. Nevertheless, several sources cite German chemist Carl Neuberg as having coined the term for the new discipline in 1903, and some credit it to Franz Hofmeister.
Biochemistry and Cell Biology
Biochemistry and Cell Biology is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed scientific journal of biochemistry and cell biology established in 1964 by NRC Research Press. It is the continuation of "Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology" which split into "Canadian Journal of Biochemistry" and "Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology" in 1964. In 1983, "Canadian Journal of Biochemistry" was renamed "Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Cell Biology" and acquired its current name "Biochemistry and Cell Biology" in 1986. The journal is edited by James R. Davie (University of Manitoba) and Christopher J. Nelson (University of Victoria).
