Instructions to Authors
Information for Authors
Scope and policy of the Journal
Biological Chemistry (Biol. Chem.) provides rapid publication for
reports on molecular studies of exceptional biological interest.
The Journal publishes full length papers, short communications,
reviews and minireviews. Reviews are published by invitation
only, but suggestions to the Editor-in-Chief are welcome.
Submission of a manuscript to Biological Chemistry implies that
the work described has not been published before and is not
under consideration for publication elsewhere. It is the corresponding
author¡¯s responsibility to ensure that all authors see
the manuscript and approve of its submission for publication.
Once the manuscript is accepted, it must not be published elsewhere
without the consent of the copyright holders.
Submission of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be submitted online at the following URL:
http://biolchem.edmgr.com. For details regarding allowed document
types and formats please consult the respective link on the
Biological Chemistry manuscript submission homepage
(¡®Supported file formats¡¯).
Together with the electronic manuscript files, for each manuscript
a cover letter (in standard word processor format) must
be submitted which contains a brief statement by the authors
as to the element of novelty upon which they base their
request for publication in Biological Chemistry. The reviewing
process may be expedited by indicating the names and full
address details (including e-mail addresses and phone/fax
numbers) of at least four potential referees who are not editors
or members of the Editorial Board of the Journal. Please
address the cover letter to:

Review of manuscripts and speed of publication
Papers will be independently reviewed by at least two referees
selected by the Editors of Biological Chemistry. On the average,
decisions will be reached within three to four weeks of submission.
When papers are accepted subject to revision, revision is
allowed only once. The revised manuscript must be submitted
within two months of the authors' notification of conditional
acceptance. It is the aim of the Journal to publish papers within
four months after their receipt by the Editor-in-Chief.
Preparation of manuscripts
Manuscripts must be written in clear and concise English and
should be regarded as final texts. No changes may be made at
the proof state other than correction of printer's errors.
General format and length
Manuscripts (including table legends, figure legends and references)
should be typed double-spaced with font size 12 letters.
Pages should be numbered (with the title page as 1) and
have margins of 2.5 cm (1 inch) on all sides. Footnotes in the
text should be avoided; parentheses should be used instead.
Full length papers and reviews should occupy no more than
eight printed pages, short communications and minireviews
should not exceed five printed pages. Each full page of printed
text corresponds to approximately 1400 words. Please
allow sufficient space for tables and illustrations within the
page limit.
Sections
Full length papers should be organized into Title page, Abstract,
Key words, Introduction, Results, Discussion, Materials and
Methods, Acknowledgments, References, Tables and Figure
legends.
Short communications should be subdivided into an Abstract,
Key words, and a single section of main text without headings.
Experimental procedures should be described in legends to figures
or footnotes to tables. Acknowledgments and References
should be presented as in full length papers.
Title page
The Title page should include (a) a short and informative full article
title (series titles are not accepted); (b) names of all authors
(with one forename in full for each author), followed by their affiliations
(department, institution, city with postcode, country);
(c) the mailing address, fax and phone number and e-mail
address of the corresponding author; (d) a running title of 50 characters
or less. If there is more than one institution involved in the
work, authors' names should be linked by superscript consecutive
numbers to the appropriate institutions. If required, small superscript
letters should be used to indicate present addresses.
Abstract and Key words
The second page of the manuscript should contain the Abstract
and the Key words. The Abstract should be a single paragraph of
no more than 200 words (full length paper or review) or 100 words
(short communication or minireview) which must be comprehensible
to readers before they have read the paper. Abbreviations and
reference citations should be avoided. Below the Abstract up to six
Key words, which are not part of the title, should be given in alphabetical
order and separated by semicolons. Together with the title
the Key words provide the basis for the annual Subject Index.
Acknowledgments
Acknowledgments should be placed at the end of the text. Names
of funding organizations should be written in their entirety.
References
For citations authors are encouraged to rely as far as possible
upon articles published in primary research journals.
Unpublished results and personal communications should be
cited as such within the text; personal communications must be
substantiated by a letter of permission. Meeting abstracts may
not be cited.
Within the text references should be cited by author and date; et
al. should be used if there are more than two authors. At the end
of the text citations should be in alphabetical order and should
contain complete titles.
The number of references should not exceed 150 for reviews or
30 for minireviews.
The names of journals should be abbreviated according to the
World List of Scientific Periodicals.
The volume number of a journal should be given in italics. Citations
should be in accordance with the following examples:

Information for Authors
Tables
Tables should be typed on separate pages and be numbered
consecutively using Arabic numerals. If a table is exceptionally
large or contains special symbols it should be submitted camera-
ready. A short descriptive title, column headings, and (if
necessary) footnotes should make each table self-explanatory.
Please indicate in the manuscript the approximate position of
each table.
Illustrations
Electronic files containing illustrations should be provided in a
generic graphics format as given under the link ¡®Supported file
formats¡¯ on the Biological Chemistry manuscript submission
homepage (http://biolchem.edmgr.com). For reproduction, highresolution
(approx. 600 dpi and better) images are required. All
figures will be reuced in size to fit, wherever possible, the width
of a single column, i.e. 80 mm, or a double column, i.e. 168 mm,
of text. Ideally, single column figures should be submitted with a
width of 100 mm, double column figures with a width of 210 mm.
Lettering of all figures within the article should be uniform in
style (preferably a sans serif typeface) and of sufficient size (so
that the final height will be approximately 2 mm). Upper-case letters
A, B, C etc. should be used to identify individual parts of
multi-part figures. All figures must be cited in the text in numerical
order. Reference to figures is to be made as Figure 1 etc. in
the text and captions.
Color plates: To partially offset the cost of production color figures
will be printed with the following charges to the author:
e 400.- for the first illustration and e 250.- for each subsequent
illustration in one article. The total cost for color figures will be
reduced if sereval color illustrations appear on one printed page.
Line drawings: These should also be provided as high-resolution
files. No additional artwork, redrawing or typesetting will be
done by the publisher. Note the faint shading or stippling may be
lost upon reproduction, heavy staining or stippling may appear
black.
Figure legends: These should be provided on separate, numbered
manuscript pages. All symbols and abbreviations used in
the figures must be explained, except for standard abbreviations
or others defined in the preceding text.
Nomenclature
With respect to biochemical terminology the Journal will follow
the rules laid down by the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical
Nomenclature, as given in Biochemical Nomenclature and
Related Documents, published by the Biochemical Society, U.K.
Enzyme names should be in accordance with the recommendations
of the IUPAC-IUB Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature,
1978, as given in Enzyme Nomenclature, published by Academic
Press, New York, 1992.
Genotypes should be given in italics, phenotypes should not be
italicized. Nomenclature of bacterial genetics should follow
Demerec et al. (1966), Genetics 54, 61¨C76.
Abbreviations
The Journal accepts standard Journal of Biological Chemistry
abbreviations. Uncommon abbreviations should be defined parenthetically
within the text upon first appearance.
Cover illustrations
Each cover of Biological Chemistry will have an illustration
selected from one of the articles published in the issue. Authors
who wish to have a color photograph considered for the cover
should submit a glossy print, 18 cm by 24 cm or 8 inches by 10
inches, and/or a slide to the Editorial Office. A short descriptive
summary of what the picture shows should be included.
Offprints/PDF files
The electronic files of typeset articles in Adobe Acrobat PDF format
are provided free of charge and are sent to the e-mail
address of corresponding authors upon publication. Paper offprints
can be ordered in addition; an offprint order form will
accompany the page proofs and should be completed and
returned immediately.
Please contact the Editorial Office if you have any further questions
(Tel.: +49-30-26005-176; Fax: +49-30-26005-298; e-mail:
