EJB Reviews 1991

In the mid-1980s the European Journal of Biochemistry set
out to publish review articles. The enterprise proved
successful resulting in high-level reviews written by well-
known scientists appearing in the Journal. The reviews
represent emerging and rapidly growing fields of research in
fundamental as well as applied areas of biochemistry, such
as medicine, biotechnology, agriculture and nutrition. Novel
methodological andtechnological approaches which stimulate
biochemical research are also included. The authors of the
reviews are explicitly asked to be critical, selective,
evaluative and interdisciplinarily oriented. The reviews
should encourage young scientists toward independent and
creative thinking, and inform active investigators about the
state of the art in a given field.
