The Joint IUPAC/IUBMB Commission has published many recommendations dealing wiLh the nomenclature of natural products. The IUBMB Commission on Nomenclature has also issued a number of recommendations dealing with areas of a more biochemical nature and for naming enzymes.

The relationships between the thermodynamic properties of chemical reactions and the transformed thermodynamic properties of biochemical reactions have been treated in several reviews (Alberty, 1993a, 1994c, 1997b, 2001 e). Recommendations for Nomenclature and Tables in Biochemical Thermodynamics from an IUPAC-IUBMB Committee were published in 1994 and republished in 1996. This report is available on the Web http llwww.chem.qmw.ac.uhlimbmbl thermodl. 

Volume 52 of this series featured the comprehensive IUPAC-IUBMB document Nomenclature of Carbohydrates that meets a long-standing need for up-to-date standardized nomenclature for sugar derivatives and complex saccharides. Ongoing work of the international committee has... 

The responsibility for enzyme nomenclature is supported by the Nomenclature Committee of the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB now the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, IUBMB) and the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC). These committees collect information about changes and additions to enzyme nomenclature13"15.

The use of proper chemical nomenclature is essential for effective scientific communication. More than one million new substances are reported each year, each of which must be identified clearly, unambiguously, and completely in the primary literature. Chemical compounds are named according to the rules established by the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry (IUPAC), the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology (IUBMB) [formerly the International Union of Biochemistry (IUB)], the Chemical Abstracts Service (CAS), the Committee on Nomenclature, Terminology, and Symbols of the American Chemical Society, and other authorities as appropriate. For more information on naming chemical compounds, refer to the bibliography in Chapter 18. This chapter gives the editorial conventions and style points for chemical compound names.
