Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology
journal
The Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology is a defunct peer-reviewed scientific journal of biochemistry and physiology established in 1954 as the continuation of the Canadian Journal of Medical Sciences and published by NRC Research Press. In 1964 it split into two different journals Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Canadian Journal of Physiology and Pharmacology.
During its life the Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology published almost 2000 papers, of which one had been cited 48000 times by early 2023, half of the total number for the journal. The journal was particularly strong in relation to early enzymology, including, for example, a study of the spectrophotometric determination of various proteolytic enzymes, and one of the first systematic treatments of the kinetics of two-substrate reactions, antedating the better known work of W. Wallace Cleland.
The public source identifies “Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology” as journal. This brief keeps that definition visible, then builds a research path around Canadian, Journal and Biochemistry.
Why this record matters
A short description can identify a subject without explaining its stakes. For “Canadian Journal of Biochemistry and Physiology”, the useful work is to connect “journal” to the records capable of establishing context and consequence.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Sep 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q24191070. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1954, 1964, 2000 and 2023.
A concise general-reference account can conceal disagreements about scope, terminology or the weight assigned to individual sources. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
