The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (ASBMB) is a learned society that was founded on December 26, 1906 at a meeting organized by John Jacob Abel (Johns Hopkins University).〔Bradshaw, R. A., Hancock, C. C., Kresge, N. (2009) The ASBMB Centennial History: 100 Years of the Chemistry of Life〕 The roots of the society were in the American Physiological Society, which had been formed some 20 years earlier. The ASBMB was originally called the American Society of Biological Chemists, before obtaining its current name in 1987. The society is based in Rockville, Maryland. ASBMB's mission is to advance the science of biochemistry and molecular biology through publication of scientific and educational journals, the organization of scientific meetings, advocacy for funding of basic research and education, support of science education at all levels, and by promoting the diversity of individuals entering the scientific workforce. The organization currently has over 12,000 members. == Publications == The American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology publishes three research journals and a monthly magazine covering society news and activity updates. ASBMB journals are peer-reviewed and cover research in the fields of microbiology, molecular genetics, RNA-related research, proteomics, genomics, transcription, peptides, cell signaling, lipidomics, and systems biology. All articles are published online as "Papers in Press" upon acceptance. * The ''Journal of Biological Chemistry'' publishes research in any area of biochemistry or molecular biology, both in print and online, weekly. * ''Molecular & Cellular Proteomics'' is a monthly online only publication. Articles appearing in MCP "...describe the structural and functional properties of proteins and their expression, particularly with respect to the developmental time courses of the organism of which they are a part."〔(MCP Mission Statement )〕 The journal also publishes other content such as "HUPO views" (reports from the Human Proteome Organization),〔(Ralph A. Bradshaw and Alma L. Burlingame,"Welcome, HUPO" ''Molecular & Cellular Proteomics'' 6:951, 2007. )〕〔(Ping, Rolf Apweiler and John Bergeron,MCP and HUPO: An Era of New Partnership, ''Molecular & Cellular Proteomics'' 6:951-952, 2007. )〕 proceedings from HUPO meetings,〔(MCP Supplement: HUPO 4th Annual World Congress, August 29-September 1, 2005, Munich )〕 and the proceedings of the International Symposium On Mass Spectrometry In The Life Sciences.〔(Special Issue: 8th International Symposium On Mass Spectrometry In The Life Sciences )〕 * The ''Journal of Lipid Research'' covers "...the science of lipids in health and disease. The Journal emphasizes lipid function and the biochemical and genetic regulation of lipid metabolism. In addition, JLR publishes manuscripts on patient-oriented and epidemiological research relating to altered lipid metabolism, including modification of dietary lipids."〔(About ''The Journal of Lipid Research'': AIM AND SCOPE )〕 * ''ASBMB Today'' is the society's monthly news magazine. It contains extensive coverage of awards, meetings, research highlights, job placement advertising and human interest articles. All ASBMB members receive a complimentary subscription to ''ASBMB Today''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「American Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
