Traynelis YR 2015 UL http://molpharm.aspetjournals.org/content/early/2015/05/05/mol.115.099564.abstract AB In this Perspectives, former and current editors of Molecular Pharmacology together with the guest editors for this 50 year Anniversary Issue provide a historical overview of the Journal since its founding in 1965. The substantial impact the journal has had on the field of pharmacology as well as on biomedical science is discussed, as is the broad scope of the journal. The authors conclude that, true to the original goals for the Journal, Molecular Pharmacology today remains an ideal venue for work that provides a mechanistic understanding of drugs, molecular probes, and their biological targets.
