ing the title, should give enough experimental detail to be understandable without the text

       • each column MUST have a heading

       • necessary abbreviations should be defined in the legend

Figures

       • should have a title

       • the legend must contain sufficient detail to make the figure easily understood

       **identify symbols and curves in the legend, not on the figure

       • appropriately sized numbers, letters, and symbols should be used so they are no smaller than 2 mm in size after reduction to a single column width (87 mm), a 1.5-column width (120 mm), or a full 2-column width (178 mm)

       **a figure may be estimated by using a reducing photocopier to see if it can fit into a single column; be sure to look at the smallest letter or symbol to decide what will be legible in print

       • numbers, letters, and symbols used in multi-paneled figures must be consistent

       • the abscissa and ordinate must be clearly labeled with appropriately sized type, and units of measurement must be given

Chemical and Mathematical Usage

       • The J. Biol. Chem.lists the abbreviations for units of measurement and certain physical and chemical quantities in TABLE 1. These abbreviations may be used without definition, are not followed by periods, and use the SAME form in the plural.

       • In general, the rules and recommendations of the IUBMB and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC) will be used for abbreviation of chemical names, nomenclature of chemical compounds, enzyme nomenclature, isotopic compounds, optically active isomers, and spectroscopic data. The J. Biol. Chem.lists references to publications of rules and recommendations of the International Scientific Unions in TABLE II.
