The Molecular Enzymology Group was the first interest group
to be founded within the Biochemical Society. It was founded in 1964 and
held its first meeting at University College London in 1965 on the subject
of "The interaction of myosin with adenosine triphosphate and actin." The
founding chairman was B.R. Rabin and the founding secretary A.P. Mathias.
The group continues to represent broad interest in the general area of
enzymology and plays a major role in organizing society symposia across
diverse areas of enzymological research and education. The subjects of
symposia to be held at Society meetings in the near future are given
below.
