The following documents have recently been added to my Nomenclature Database Medicinal Chemistry ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ IUPAC Glossary of Terms in Medicinal Chemistry (Recommendations 1998) (Pure Appl. Chem., 1998, 70, 1129-1143) which includes nearly 120 terms.

The full details of where they were published will be found with the document. IUB Nomenclature of Multiple Forms of Enzymes. Recommendations 1976 http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/misc/isoen.html IUB Numbering of atoms in myo-inositol. Recommendations 1988 http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac/cyclitol/myo.html IUPAC-IUBMB Recommendations for nomenclature and tables in biochemical thermodynamics. Recommendations 1994 http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/thermod/ IUPAC-IUBMB Symbolism and terminology in enzyme kinetics. Recommendations 1981. http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/kinetics/ The Nomenclature Committee of IUBMB propose to make changes to 'Enzyme Nomenclature, Recommendations 1992' by listing newly discovered enzymes and correcting some entries. It invites public comments on these proposals, which may be viewed at http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/enzyme/ Such comments should be made by 31st December 1998 to Professor Keith Tipton (ktipton@tcd.ie) If you want to be informed when new documents are added to this database e-mail g.p.moss@qmw.ac.uk Gerry Moss _________________________________________________________________________ Dr GP Moss Telephone: +44 171 775 3262 Department of Chemistry Queen Mary & Westfield College Facsimile: +44 181 981 8745 Mile End Road London E1 4NS, United Kingdom E-mail: g.p.moss@qmw.ac.uk World Wide Web server: http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/ IUPAC chemical nomenclature data base: http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iupac/ IUBMB biochemical nomenclature data base: http://www.chem.qmw.ac.uk/iubmb/ chemweb: A list for Chemical Applications of the Internet.
