Bibliographical & Catalog Notes

Biochimica et biophysica acta was published according to a volume numbering scheme that embraced all sections of the journal through 2016. In 2017, each journal section began with its own numbering scheme. Through 2016, this journal shares vol. numbering with the other topical sections of Biochimica et biophysica acta: Bioenergetics; Gene structure and expression; General subjects; Lipids and lipid metabolism (called Dec. 1998- : Molecular and cell biology of lipids); Molecular basis of disease; Molecular cell research; Protein structure and molecular enzymology (called July 2002- : Proteins and proteomics); Reviews on biomembranes (until May 2002 when it was absorbed by this title); and: Reviews on cancer.
