Information for Authors:

    "Biomedical chemistry" magazine publishes works in all sections of biological and medical chemistry, and also adjacent sciences. The paper should be written in Russia. The completed original works (up to 15 typewritten pages, including an illustrative material and the list of the literature), containing new experimental results, the methodical works including both the description of new methods of biochemical researches, and new laboratory diagnostic tests are accepted to the publication.
The magazine publishes reviews ordered by editorial board (or offered by authors and approved by editorial board) on actual problems of biomedical chemistry and adjacent sciences (up to 30 typewritten pages, including an illustrative material and the list of the literature).
    Works of priority character (2,5-3 thousand words), containing no more than 3 illustrations, are published as Brief messages in 2-4 months after acceptance for publishing.
The headline – short (no more than typewritten line) title of the paper is required.
Chronicles of the congresses, conventions, conferences and discussions on pressing questions of biomedical chemistry are published in magazine.
    Pay attention to the structure of articles accepted to publication: first page of article begins with an index of UDC, then the name of the article printed by capital letters, following the initials and surnames of the authors, the detailed names of scientific institutes (with a mark where each of authors works). The post address, phone numbers and faxes, and also the e-mail address are specified only for establishment in which the author, responsible for the correspondence with editorial board and all interested persons (readers), works. Further the key words (no more than 6)  follow. The second page contains only the resume (no more than 0,5 - 1 typewritten page).
    The text of the article should be divided by sections: 1) Introduction, 2) the Methods, 3) Results and discussion, 4) the Conclusions, 5) the Indication of grant financing sources of the given work (if those are available), 6) the List of the literature. For original articles the list of the literature should not exceed 20-25 works. The magazine accepts the consecutive system of citing when during the statement the serial number of the quoted source appropriate to the number in the list of the literature is underlined in square brackets. The list of the literature should contain: the Surname, the First name and the Patronymic name of authors in italics, year of the edition, (in brackets), the Name of magazine (the monography, the collected articles, publishing house and the place of publishing), Volume (in thick print), (in brackets the issue of release if each release-volume accepts its own pagination), numbering of the first and the last page of quoted work. In list of references should be used common abbreviations of publication names.

           Tables, figures and signatures are to be represented on separate sheets in book variant.The figures must not repeat material represented in tables The illustrations and tables taken from other publications, can be used unless authorized by their rightholders. Besides the figures, the electronic version should be submitted as the files in one of the following formats: ТIF, GIF, JPG.
    All formulas, physical, mathematical symbols, structures of organic compounds and mathematical equations should be typed in computer.
    Reductions used in the article should be deciphered at the first mention in the text. There is no need to decode standard symbols of amino acids which can be written in one- or trigram designations, the nitrogen bases, nucleosides, nucleotides, typed in latin letters, for example: А1а (alanine), G (guanine), dA (deoxyadenosine), АМР, АDР, АТР (adenosine mono-, di- and triphosphate respectively).
    Concentrations of substances in solutions should be represented in M, mM, mcM, nМ, etc. In case of representation of concentration in %, the author should specify the calculation of percentage in weight, volume or weight /volume. For example, 1 % (weight / volume) means that 100 ml of solution contain 1 gram of substance.
