Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Abraham L. Sonenshein spends much of his time researching Gene, Bacillus subtilis, Biochemistry, Microbiology and Genetics. His studies link Molecular biology with Gene. His Molecular biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of RNA polymerase and DNA.

His Bacillus subtilis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Amino acid, Catabolite repression and Aconitase. Many of his studies on Biochemistry involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Bacterial cell structure. His Operon study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Dipeptide transport, Transcriptional regulation, Open reading frame, GTP' and Drug resistance.

His most cited work include:

  • Bacillus subtilis and other gram-positive bacteria : biochemistry, physiology, and molecular genetics (859 citations)
  • Bacillus Subtilis and Its Closest Relatives: From Genes to Cells (676 citations)
  • Bile Salts and Glycine as Cogerminants for Clostridium difficile Spores (444 citations)

What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?

Abraham L. Sonenshein mostly deals with Bacillus subtilis, Biochemistry, Gene, Molecular biology and Genetics. His studies in Bacillus subtilis integrate themes in fields like Aconitase and Operon, Transcription, Mutant, Repressor. His research in Operon intersects with topics in Dipeptide transport, Open reading frame and Binding site.

Abraham L. Sonenshein regularly links together related areas like Microbiology in his Gene studies. Abraham L. Sonenshein has included themes like Virology and Virulence in his Microbiology study. His study looks at the relationship between Molecular biology and fields such as RNA polymerase, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

He most often published in these fields:

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (45.00%)
  • Microbiology (24.50%)
  • Gene (42.00%)

In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Gene, Bacillus subtilis and Operon. His Amino acid, Promoter, Gene expression and GTP' study in the realm of Biochemistry connects with subjects such as Cellulosome. His studies examine the connections between Gene expression and genetics, as well as such issues in Citrate synthase, with regards to Molecular biology.

His Microbiology research focuses on Virology and how it connects with Antigen, Antibody and Immune system. His Gene research is classified as research in Genetics. His Bacillus subtilis research includes elements of Plasma protein binding, Aconitase, Transcriptional regulation and Binding site.

Between 2008 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Inhibiting the Initiation of Clostridium difficile Spore Germination using Analogs of Chenodeoxycholic Acid, a Bile Acid (203 citations)
  • Direct Targets of CodY in Staphylococcus aureus (156 citations)
  • Chenodeoxycholate Is an Inhibitor of Clostridium difficile Spore Germination (145 citations)

In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Gene, Clostridium difficile and Operon. His Amino acid, Sigma factor, Stringent response and Valine study in the realm of Biochemistry interacts with subjects such as Cellulosome. His Gene study is focused on Genetics in general.

Abraham L. Sonenshein combines subjects such as Spore germination, Spore and Pathogen with his study of Clostridium difficile. Abraham L. Sonenshein has researched Operon in several fields, including Molecular biology and Bacillus subtilis. His Bacillus subtilis study frequently draws connections to other fields, such as Binding site.
