## Notable articles

Some of the most highly cited articles that have appeared in the journal are:

* Monod, J.; Wyman, J.; Changeux, J.-P. (1965). "On the Nature of Allosteric Transitions: A Plausible Model". Journal of Molecular Biology 12: 88–118. doi:10.1016/S0022-2836(65)80285-6. PMID 14343300. , in which Jacques Monod, Jeffries Wyman, and Jean-Pierre Changeux presented the MWC model, that explained the cooperativity exhibited by allosteric proteins, such as hemoglobin.
* Southern, E. M. (1975). "Detection of specific sequences among DNA fragments separated by gel electrophoresis". Journal of Molecular Biology 98 (3): 503–517. doi:10.1016/S0022-2836(75)80083-0. PMID 1195397. , in which Edwin Southern presented the first description of nucleic acid blotting, a technique that revolutionized the field of molecular biology.
* Smith, T.; Waterman, M.S. (1981). "Identification of common molecular subsequences". Journal of Molecular Biology 147 (1): 195–197. doi:10.1016/0022-2836(81)90087-5. PMID 7265238. , in which the Smith–Waterman algorithm for determining the degree of homology of DNA, RNA, or protein sequences was first described.
* Altschul, Stephen; Gish, Warren; Miller, Webb; Myers, Eugene; Lipman, David (1990). "Basic local alignment search tool". Journal of Molecular Biology 215 (3): 403–410. doi:10.1016/S0022-2836(05)80360-2. PMID 2231712. , in which the nucleic acid and protein homology search algorithm known as BLAST was originally described.
