5 Introduction to 'Developments in molecular and cellular biochemistry' Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry is an international journal that covers a wide range of biophysical, biochemical and cellular research. This type of coverage is intended to acquaint the reader with the several parameters of biological research that are relevant to various fields of interest. Unlike highly specialized journals, it does not bring into focus a particular field of investigation on a monthly basis. Accordingly, it has been decided to supplement its present wide scope by periodic presentations of a restricted area of research in the form of book-length volumes. These volumes will also be published in hard covers as a book series entitled, Developments in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry. Each volume will focus on an active topic of interest which will be covered in depth. It will encompass a series of contributions that deal exclusively with one single well-defined subject. The present volume, The Biological Effects of Glutamate and Its Derivatives, is the first one in the book series. The second volume will deal extensively with Immunologically Active Peptides. I t is the editor's hope that Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry will fulfill its intended role of service to the international community of biological scientists. The biological effects of glutamic acid and its derivatives During the past decade, there has been much active research into the effects of glutamic acid and its derivatives on several target organs, particularly the nervous system. It is also involved in the -y-glutamyl cycle through the activity of the enzyme -y-glutamyl transpeptidase. Equally important are the poly--yglutamyl derivatives of folic acid. These have been scattered in many scientific journals, some in basic science journals and others in technical publications. In view of this and the rapid advances in this area during the past decade, it was deemed advisable to bring together many of these investigations into one single publication. This has been done under the auspices of Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, an international journal, and has now been published as Volume I of 'Developments in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry'.
