Biochemistry (Moscow)

Biokhimiya is a Russian peer-reviewed scientific journal devoted to biochemistry and related areas of the life sciences. It was established in 1936 by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Russian Biochemical Society, placing it among the longstanding institutional journals created to support the development and circulation of biochemical research in the Soviet scientific system. The journal continued after the dissolution of the Soviet Union and is associated with the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian scientific-publishing infrastructure. The journal's principal Russian title is Biokhimiya, commonly rendered in English as Biochemistry. Its international English-language edition, Biochemistry (Moscow), has been published since 1956. The translation edition extends the reach of research originally published in the Russian journal to readers and indexing services outside the Russian-speaking scientific community. This bilingual publishing model has historically made the title a bridge between Russian-language biochemical research and international scholarly communication. The journal publishes peer-reviewed research in biochemistry and adjacent biological disciplines. Its subject area encompasses the molecular study of biological systems, including biochemical mechanisms, proteins, enzymes, nucleic acids, membranes, metabolism, cellular processes, and other topics normally covered by a broad biochemistry publication. The available reference material identifies the journal as a scientific periodical and confirms its English translation edition, but does not provide a complete current statement of article types, publication frequency, subscription model, editorial structure, or indexing coverage. Biokhimiya is published by Nauka/Interperiodica. Its institutional identity is therefore tied less to a consumer-facing brand strategy than to the continuity, credibility, and specialist scope of an academic journal. The title's principal audiences are researchers, university faculty, graduate students, scientific institutions, and libraries working in biochemistry and related life sciences. The English edition is particularly relevant to international readers seeking access to research from the Russian biochemical community. Vladimir P. Skulachev served as editor until his death in February 2023. Information about his successor or the current editor is not established by the supplied reference material. Likewise, current publication metrics, circulation, ownership arrangements, and precise headquarters are not specified. The journal should therefore be understood as an active scholarly publication with a long historical record, rather than as a conventional commercial brand with independently reported financial performance.

Biokhimiya was founded in 1936 by the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and the Russian Biochemical Society. Its creation reflected the institutional expansion of biochemical research in the Soviet Union and the need for a dedicated periodical through which researchers could publish and exchange findings in the field. The journal subsequently became part of the scientific publishing tradition associated with the Academy of Sciences and its successor institutions. An English translation edition began publication in 1956 under the title Biochemistry. In later references this edition is identified as Biochemistry (Moscow), distinguishing it from journals with similar English names and indicating its connection to the Russian publication. The translation edition served as an international channel for work originally appearing in Biokhimiya, helping make research from the Russian biochemical community available to readers beyond the Russian-language scientific system. Following the end of the Soviet Union, the journal continued within the Russian academic and publishing environment. It is published by Nauka/Interperiodica and remains associated with the Russian Academy of Sciences and the Russian Biochemical Society in the historical account of its establishment. The journal's enduring role is that of a specialist peer-reviewed publication rather than a general science magazine: its value rests on subject expertise, editorial continuity, and dissemination of biochemical research. Vladimir P. Skulachev served as editor for many years and remained in that role until his death in February 2023. The supplied reference material does not identify a subsequent editor, current editorial board, publication frequency, current publisher arrangement beyond Nauka/Interperiodica, or detailed changes in the journal's indexing and distribution. Those details require verification from current journal or publisher records.
