Summary
This is the first paper published in the Journal of Biological Chemistry (JBC). The title page and the table of contents of the issue in which it appeared are reprinted to provide a glimpse into the field of biochemistry at that time. The contributions of John Jacob Abel, Professor of Pharmacology at Johns Hopkins University Medical School, to the Journal and the Society deserve special note. He was a distinguished scientist, and one of the founders of both the Journal and the American Society of Biological Chemists (ASBC).
