1972 - Fellow of John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Akira Kaji mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Ribosome, Ribosome Recycling Factor, Protein biosynthesis and Transfer RNA. His work in Biochemistry addresses subjects such as Biophysics, which are connected to disciplines such as Elongation factor. His research integrates issues of Translation, Messenger RNA and Cell biology in his study of Ribosome.

Akira Kaji interconnects Stop codon and Start codon in the investigation of issues within Translation. His work deals with themes such as A-site, 50S, Escherichia coli and Eukaryotic Ribosome, which intersect with Ribosome Recycling Factor. His work carried out in the field of Eukaryotic Ribosome brings together such families of science as EF-Tu and Initiation factor.

His most cited work include:

  • Structural basis for aminoglycoside inhibition of bacterial ribosome recycling. (254 citations)
  • Neural network state diagnostic system for equipment (157 citations)
  • Crystal structure of Thermotoga maritima ribosome recycling factor: a tRNA mimic. (152 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Ribosome, Molecular biology, Ribosome Recycling Factor and Transfer RNA. His is involved in several facets of Biochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Protein biosynthesis, Escherichia coli, RNA, Amino acid and Eukaryotic Ribosome. His study looks at the relationship between Ribosome and fields such as Translation, as well as how they intersect with chemical problems.

His studies deal with areas such as Plasmid, DNA, In vitro, Virology and Rous sarcoma virus as well as Molecular biology. Akira Kaji focuses mostly in the field of Ribosome Recycling Factor, narrowing it down to matters related to Initiation factor and, in some cases, Internal ribosome entry site. The Transfer RNA study combines topics in areas such as Elongation factor, Phenylalanine, Puromycin and Stereochemistry.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (58.16%)
  • Ribosome (38.08%)
  • Molecular biology (25.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?

  • Biochemistry (58.16%)
  • Ribosome Recycling Factor (23.85%)
  • Ribosome (38.08%)

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

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Ribosome Recycling Factor, Ribosome, Crystal structure and Escherichia coli. His Transfer RNA, Initiation factor, 50S, Eukaryotic Ribosome and Translation study are his primary interests in Biochemistry. His Transfer RNA study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Elongation factor, Cycloheximide and Polysome.

The concepts of his Ribosome Recycling Factor study are interwoven with issues in Protein biosynthesis, Cell biology, EF-G and T arm. His research in Protein biosynthesis intersects with topics in Amino acid and Guanosine triphosphate. His Ribosome research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Ribosomal RNA and Protein subunit.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Structural basis for aminoglycoside inhibition of bacterial ribosome recycling. (254 citations)
  • Antibiotic overproduction by rpsL and rsmG mutants of various actinomycetes. (68 citations)
  • Multiple forms of yeast hexokinase. (64 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Ribosome Recycling Factor, Ribosome, Transfer RNA and Initiation factor. He integrates Biochemistry and Hexokinase in his studies. His research on Ribosome Recycling Factor frequently links to adjacent areas such as Eukaryotic Ribosome.

His Ribosome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Cycloheximide and Protein biosynthesis. His Protein biosynthesis study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Stop codon, Messenger RNA and Peptide Termination Factors. Akira Kaji usually deals with Transfer RNA and limits it to topics linked to Translation and Computational biology.
