It covers research on all aspects of biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and the molecular bases of disease. The editor-in-chief is Seamus Martin (Trinity College Dublin), who took over from Richard Perham (University of Cambridge) in 2014.
Content is available for free 1 year after publication, except review content, which is available immediately. The journal also publishes special and virtual issues focusing on a specific theme.
Since 2021, the journal has given an annual award, "The FEBS Journal Richard Perham Prize", for an outstanding research paper published in the journal. The winners receive a €5,000 cash prize (to be divided equally between the first and last authors) and the senior author of the study is invited to give a talk at the FEBS Annual Congress. The journal also gives more frequent poster prize awards to early-career scientists presenting at conferences.
==History== The journal was established in 1906 by Carl Neuberg, who also served as the first editor-in-chief. Its original name was ''Biochemische Zeitschrift''. It was renamed to the ''European Journal of Biochemistry'' in 1967, with Claude Liébecq as editor-in-chief, succeeded by Richard Perham, during whose tenure the name became the ''FEBS Journal'', in 2005.
==Notable papers==
During the early years the ''Biochemisches Zeitschrift'' published numerous papers important in the history of biochemistry, including that of Michaelis and Menten.
The two name changes make it difficult to compare all the most notable papers published in the journal, but some are the following:
