Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Proteolysis, Stereochemistry, Circular dichroism and Peptide bond. His is doing research in Fatty acid, Lysozyme, Fibril, Enzyme and Polyunsaturated fatty acid, both of which are found in Biochemistry. He has included themes like Protein structure, Molten globule, Protein folding, Thermolysin and Proteinase K in his Proteolysis study.

His study in Stereochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Nudibranch and Mucus. The concepts of his Circular dichroism study are interwoven with issues in Amino acid and Size-exclusion chromatography. Angelo Fontana combines subjects such as Tryptophan, Reagent, Residue and Nuclease with his study of Peptide bond.

His most cited work include:

  • Formation and inactivation of endogenous cannabinoid anandamide in central neurons. (1371 citations)
  • Probing protein structure by limited proteolysis. (359 citations)
  • Correlation between sites of limited proteolysis and segmental mobility in thermolysin. (262 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Proteolysis, Circular dichroism and Thermolysin are his primary areas of study. His study in Enzyme, Biosynthesis, Protein structure, Thermophile and Thermotoga neapolitana falls under the purview of Biochemistry. His research in Stereochemistry intersects with topics in Tryptophan, Organic chemistry and Peptide.

Cleavage is closely connected to Peptide bond in his research, which is encompassed under the umbrella topic of Proteolysis. His work investigates the relationship between Circular dichroism and topics such as Protein folding that intersect with problems in Proteolytic enzymes. The various areas that Angelo Fontana examines in his Thermolysin study include Globular protein, Guanidine and Protein domain.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (37.12%)
  • Stereochemistry (28.53%)
  • Proteolysis (13.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2016-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (37.12%)
  • Thermotoga neapolitana (5.82%)
  • Fermentation (3.88%)

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

Angelo Fontana spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Thermotoga neapolitana, Fermentation, Lactic acid and Diatom. Angelo Fontana focuses mostly in the field of Biochemistry, narrowing it down to topics relating to Skeletonema marinoi and, in certain cases, Dinoflagellate. His Thermotoga neapolitana research includes themes of Hydrogen, Covalent bond, Lactic acid fermentation, Dark fermentation and Ferredoxin.

His Fermentation research integrates issues from Thermotoga and Bioreactor. His work deals with themes such as Chromatography, Food science and Adsorption, which intersect with Lactic acid. His research integrates issues of Phytoplankton, Lipid metabolism, Zooplankton and Chemical ecology in his study of Diatom.

Between 2016 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Tomographic flow cytometry by digital holography. (176 citations)
  • The green microalga Tetraselmis suecica reduces oxidative stress and induces repairing mechanisms in human cells. (41 citations)
  • Giant embryos and hatchlings of Antarctic nudibranchs (Mollusca: Gastropoda: Heterobranchia) (36 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Angelo Fontana mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Diatom, Botany, Fermentation and Lactic acid. His research on Biochemistry frequently connects to adjacent areas such as Skeletonema marinoi. His Diatom research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Zooplankton, Dinoflagellate, Oxylipin and Plankton.

His Botany research includes elements of Sea urchin and Paracentrotus lividus. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Chromatography, Lactic acid fermentation and Thermotoga neapolitana. The concepts of his Lactic acid study are interwoven with issues in Ion exchange, Extraction and Adsorption.
