Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Protein structure, Cell biology, Periplasmic space and Secretion. In her works, Andréa Dessen undertakes multidisciplinary study on Biochemistry and NADH binding. Her research in Protein structure intersects with topics in Phospholipase A2, Biophysics, Protein folding, Molecular biology and Peptide sequence.

Within one scientific family, Andréa Dessen focuses on topics pertaining to Type three secretion system under Periplasmic space, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Macromolecule, Bacteria, Cytosol, Small molecule and Biogenesis. Her research on Secretion also deals with topics like

  • Translocon which is related to area like Pseudomonas, Host cell cytoplasm, Chaperone, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Cytoplasm,
  • Membrane that connect with fields like Cell and Viral envelope. Andréa Dessen interconnects Cell division and Penicillin binding proteins in the investigation of issues within Peptidoglycan.

Her most cited work include:

  • Atomic structure of the ectodomain from HIV-1 gp41 (1476 citations)
  • Crystal structure and function of the isoniazid target of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. (367 citations)
  • X-ray crystal structure of HLA-DR4 (DRA0101, DRB10401) complexed with a peptide from human collagen II. (336 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Biochemistry, Microbiology, Cell biology, Peptidoglycan and Secretion. Her research related to Penicillin binding proteins, Periplasmic space, Enzyme, Protein structure and Bacterial outer membrane might be considered part of Biochemistry. The study incorporates disciplines such as Amino acid and Molecular biology in addition to Protein structure.

Her Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Operon, Peptide sequence, Type three secretion system and Bacteria. Her Peptidoglycan research incorporates elements of DNA ligase, Biosynthesis, Bacterial cell structure and Active site. In her study, Protein folding is strongly linked to Chaperone, which falls under the umbrella field of Secretion.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (48.72%)
  • Microbiology (27.56%)
  • Cell biology (23.72%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2021)?

  • Cell biology (23.72%)
  • Microbiology (27.56%)
  • Peptidoglycan (20.51%)

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

Andréa Dessen mainly investigates Cell biology, Microbiology, Peptidoglycan, Secretion and Virulence. Her studies in Cell biology integrate themes in fields like Prokaryotic cytoskeleton, Periplasmic space, Cell division and Cytoskeleton. Her Microbiology study incorporates themes from Helicobacter pylori and Pilus.

Biochemistry and Cell wall are all intrinsically tied to her study in Peptidoglycan. She undertakes interdisciplinary study in the fields of Biochemistry and Cheminformatics through her works. Andréa Dessen has researched Secretion in several fields, including Transport protein, Vibrio vulnificus and Effector.

Between 2014 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • FtsZ filament capping by MciZ, a developmental regulator of bacterial division (42 citations)
  • New strategies for targeting and treatment of multi-drug resistant Staphylococcus aureus (36 citations)
  • Molecular architecture of the PBP2–MreC core bacterial cell wall synthesis complex (30 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Her main research concerns Cell biology, Virulence, Biochemistry, Extracellular and Effector. Her studies deal with areas such as Cell division, Prokaryotic cytoskeleton and Cytoskeleton as well as Cell biology. Her Virulence research incorporates themes from Antibiotics, Microbiology, Staphylococcus aureus, Efflux and RNA-binding protein.

Her Biochemistry study frequently links to related topics such as Bacterial cell structure. Her Extracellular study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as RIG-I, Innate immune system, Pathogen, Extracellular RNA and Listeria monocytogenes. Her Effector study also includes

  • Pseudomonas aeruginosa and related In vitro, Biophysics, Mutagenesis and In vivo,
  • Secretion most often made with reference to Virulence factor.
