Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Akira Kobata mostly deals with Biochemistry, Glycoprotein, Sugar, Glycopeptide and Asparagine. His research links Carbohydrate conformation with Biochemistry. His Glycoprotein research includes elements of Glycoconjugate and Glycoside hydrolase.

Akira Kobata works mostly in the field of Sugar, limiting it down to concerns involving In vitro and, occasionally, Hamster. He has included themes like Residue, Sialic acid, Beta and Exoglycosidase in his Asparagine study. His Oligosaccharide study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Lectin and Chromatography.

His most cited work include:

  • Association of rheumatoid arthritis and primary osteoarthritis with changes in the glycosylation pattern of total serum IgG. (996 citations)
  • Structural studies of two ovalbumin glycopeptides in relation to the endo-beta-N-acetylglucosaminidase specificity. (372 citations)
  • Fractionation of glycopeptides by affinity column chromatography on concanavalin A-sepharose. (368 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Sugar, Glycoprotein, Oligosaccharide and Stereochemistry. Glycosylation, Exoglycosidase, Lectin, Carbohydrate and Asparagine are the core of his Biochemistry study. His study looks at the intersection of Sugar and topics like Galactose with Immunoglobulin G.

His Glycoprotein research includes themes of Beta and Gene, Glycoside hydrolase. Akira Kobata combines subjects such as Residue, Chromatography, Column chromatography and Carbohydrate conformation with his study of Oligosaccharide. His Stereochemistry study which covers Enzyme that intersects with Hydrolysis.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (65.45%)
  • Sugar (35.08%)
  • Glycoprotein (31.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1992-2018)?

  • Biochemistry (65.45%)
  • Glycoprotein (31.94%)
  • Sugar (35.08%)

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

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Glycoprotein, Sugar, Oligosaccharide and Glycosylation. Biochemistry and Sialidase are two areas of study in which Akira Kobata engages in interdisciplinary research. The Glycoprotein study combines topics in areas such as Branching, Galactose and Antigen.

His studies deal with areas such as Sulfation, Sialic acid, Asparagine and Gene as well as Sugar. His study in Oligosaccharide is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Residue, Chromatography, Column chromatography and Carbohydrate conformation. The concepts of his Glycosylation study are interwoven with issues in Acetylglucosamine, Mesocricetus, Peptide and Glycan.

Between 1992 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • Glycobiology : a practical approach (230 citations)
  • Glycosylation differences between the normal and pathogenic prion protein isoforms. (222 citations)
  • GLYCOBIOLOGY : AN EXPANDING RESEARCH AREA IN CARBOHYDRATE CHEMISTRY (107 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Glycoprotein, Glycosylation, Glycobiology and Sugar. His study deals with a combination of Biochemistry and Population. His work carried out in the field of Glycoprotein brings together such families of science as Chromatography, Mesocricetus, Affinity chromatography and Gene isoform.

Akira Kobata works mostly in the field of Glycosylation, limiting it down to topics relating to Oligosaccharide and, in certain cases, Peptide, Carbohydrate conformation and Enzyme, as a part of the same area of interest. His Glycobiology research incorporates themes from Galactose, Carbohydrate chemistry, Size-exclusion chromatography, Glycoconjugate and Glycoside hydrolase. His Sugar research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Stereochemistry and Immunology.
