Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

Albert Eschenmoser mostly deals with Stereochemistry, Oligonucleotide, Nucleic acid, Base pair and Computational chemistry. His study on Diastereomer is often connected to Context as part of broader study in Stereochemistry. He has researched Oligonucleotide in several fields, including Cytosine and Guanine.

His Nucleic acid research incorporates themes from Nucleic acid structure, Abiogenesis, Phosphodiester bond, Thymine and Dideoxynucleotide. His study on Base pair is covered under Biochemistry. His study in Computational chemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Eschenmoser sulfide contraction and Terpene.

His most cited work include:

  • Zur Kenntnis der Triterpene. 190. Mitteilung. Eine stereochemische Interpretation der biogenetischen Isoprenregel bei den Triterpenen (441 citations)
  • Chemical Etiology of Nucleic Acid Structure (432 citations)
  • Chemical Etiology of Nucleic Acid Structure: The α-Threofuranosyl-(3'→2') Oligonucleotide System (397 citations)

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

His primary areas of study are Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Oligonucleotide, Nucleic acid and Medicinal chemistry. His multidisciplinary approach integrates Stereochemistry and Pairing in his work. His Oligonucleotide research is under the purview of DNA.

His Nucleic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nucleic acid structure and Hexose. Albert Eschenmoser usually deals with Corrin and limits it to topics linked to Nickel and Polymer chemistry. His Acetal research integrates issues from Ketone, Aldehyde and Nucleoside.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (49.86%)
  • Organic chemistry (15.94%)
  • Oligonucleotide (15.94%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2016)?

  • Stereochemistry (49.86%)
  • Corrin (8.70%)
  • Organic chemistry (15.94%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Stereochemistry, Corrin, Organic chemistry, Nucleic acid and Base pair. In his works, Albert Eschenmoser conducts interdisciplinary research on Stereochemistry and Threose. His Corrin study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Pyrrole derivatives, Cycloisomerization and Photochemistry.

His Purine metabolism, Terpene and Chemical reaction study in the realm of Organic chemistry interacts with subjects such as Isoprene and Interpretation. His study focuses on the intersection of Nucleic acid and fields such as Nucleic acid analogue with connections in the field of Nucleic acid structure and Oligomer. Combinatorial chemistry is closely connected to Oligonucleotide in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Base pair.

Between 2003 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Are Oxazolidinones Really Unproductive, Parasitic Species in Proline Catalysis? – Thoughts and Experiments Pointing to an Alternative View (187 citations)
  • The search for the chemistry of life's origin (177 citations)
  • Metabolite-initiated protein misfolding may trigger Alzheimer's disease (164 citations)

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

  • Organic chemistry
  • Enzyme
  • Catalysis

His primary areas of investigation include Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Nucleic acid, Oligonucleotide and Base pair. The study incorporates disciplines such as Electrophile, Oxidation reduction, C h bond, Site specificity and Strain in addition to Stereochemistry. His study in the field of Extracellular is also linked to topics like Library science, Amyloid disease and Inflammation.

His Nucleic acid research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nucleic acid analogue and Nucleic acid structure. The Oligonucleotide study combines topics in areas such as Triazine and Nucleic acid thermodynamics. His Histone octamer research incorporates Pairing, Threose nucleic acid, Threose and Duplex.
