Series Description
Arranged in its original order, this series contains the files of IUPAC’s Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature. This commission was formed to establish and maintain a standardized nomenclature for biochemistry. The files in this series provide documentation of the Commission on Biochemical Nomenclature’s activities.
Correspondence makes up the bulk of the materials found in the Biochemical Nomenclature files. Small amounts of other miscellaneous materials, including, but not limited to, publications, proposals, minutes, and manuscript drafts, are preserved here as well.
