First women on the editorial board:
Final two editors
An important point to make is that despite growing massively in size from its beginnings in 1905, the journal has remained a general journal of biochemistry, and has avoided splitting into subjournals. All the above notes were gathered from the "first 75 years" link given at the beginning of the page, to the article written by John Tileston Edsall. Two areas from that paper that I haven't read yet are the 'scientific discoveries' history at the end of Edsall's article, and the 1905-1914 history by Richards (the second editor) that is an appendix to the Edsall article.

I believe JBC was the 1st biochemical journal in English, eg see [1], but I don't have a definitive reference. Another early English one which is definitely newer is the Biochemical Journal (first appeared 1906). There are older German language ones, eg Hoppe-Seyler's Zeitscrift für physiologische Chemie (1877) and Hofmeister's Beiträge (1901). Does anyone have any info to confirm or refute this claim?

That confirms that Zeitschrift für Physiologische Chemie was the oldest, and it is cited as the inspiration for Journal of Biological Chemistry. The accounts of its founding also talk about the " The joint effort to promote the new science of biochemistry in the United States", so I get the impression that this was the first biochemistry journal in the USA at least. The Edsall article (from which much of the preceding sections were drawn) says:"Moore and another Liverpool biochemist, Edward Whitney, founded the Biochemical Journal in 1906, a year after the Journal of Biological Chemistry. The oldest biochemical journal, Hoppe-Seyler’s Zeitschrift für Physiologishe Chemie, started in 1877. The Biochemical Journal was taken over by the Biochemical Society in 1913."
That quote describes an explosion of new biochemistry journals in a second wave after the oldest one (note that the German one is still only the second one, which may conflict with the Beiträge zur chemischen Physiologie und Pathologie example you point out). If you are looking for a DYK hook, I'd suggest "...that the Journal of Biological Chemistry, founded in the USA in 1906, was inspired by the German Zeitscrift für physiologische Chemie (1877), the world's oldest biochemistry journal." or maybe just pick up on the "three Nobel Prize winners" have served on its editorial board bit, or the Rockefeller Institute bit? Carcharoth 22:47, 15 October 2007 (UTC)"other contemporary researchers drew an increasing number of investigators into biochemical studies. There were outlets for publication of such work in physiological, chemical, and sometimes in clinical journals. There, however, the biochemical papers were surrounded by a much larger number of papers of little or no biochemical interest. The demand for new outlets grew. In the years 1905 and 1906, Carl Neuberg inaugurated a second German Journal, the Biochemische Zeitschrift. Benjamin Moore in Great Britain founded the Biochemical Journal, and Herter and Abel established the Journal of Biological Chemistry. Indeed, the American Journal preceded the British one by about a year."
An interesting aspect of American journals is that they may not have filed copyright renewals as required, or may have only filed them for specific issues/articles. It appears that Journal of Biological Chemistry definitely filed some. John Vandenberg 04:22, 17 October 2007 (UTC)

The JBC has a new Editor-in-Chief:
Martha Fedor stepped down in mid 2015. Fred Guengerich assumed interim editor in chief duties until a new EIC was found. - http://www.newswise.com/articles/journal-of-biological-chemistry-names-interim-editor-in-chief2
Lila M. Gierasch has been appointed as the new EIC. She begins her term in July. - http://www.jbc.org/site/misc/eic.xhtml
