South African Society for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology

The requirement for a Society for natural chemists from all over South Africa was perceived in the late 1960's. This need discovered its first clear expression when countless met in Pretoria, together with scientific experts and restorative researchers, for a Symposium on the Chemistry and Biology of Macromolecules amid April 1970. At this meeting the representatives communicated verging on consistent backing for the arrangement of a Biochemical Society in South Africa. Further solid driving force for the development was given by the acknowledgment of the need of South African organic chemists to likewise partake in the advantages of International Union of Biochemistry participation. An essential for IUB (right now the International Union of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology) enrolment was the demonstrated presence of a free universally perceived investigative body inside South Africa, which would be illustrative of the South African biochemical group.
