What is he best known for?
The fields of study he is best known for:
- Enzyme
- Biochemistry
- Cell membrane
Ben Roelofsen mostly deals with Biochemistry, Phospholipase, Phospholipase C, Sphingomyelin and Phospholipid.
His study in Phosphatidylethanolamine, Membrane, Phosphatidylcholine, Lecithin and Lipid peroxidation falls under the purview of Biochemistry.
The various areas that he examines in his Membrane study include Proteolytic enzymes and Fatty acid.
His Phospholipase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phospholipase A2 and Phosphatidylserine.
Ben Roelofsen works mostly in the field of Phospholipase C, limiting it down to topics relating to Phosphoglyceride and, in certain cases, Phospholipase B, Phospholipase A and Phosphoinositide phospholipase C.
His studies deal with areas such as Chromatography, Sephadex and Membrane lipids as well as Phospholipid.
His most cited work include:
- The asymmetric distribution of phospholipids in the human red cell membrane. A combined study using phospholipases and freeze-etch electron microscopy (876 citations)
- Relation between various phospholipase actions on human red cell membranes and the interfacial phospholipid pressure in monolayers (480 citations)
- Localization of Red Cell Membrane Constituents (384 citations)
What are the main themes of his work throughout his whole career to date?
His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Phospholipid, Phosphatidylcholine, Membrane and Red blood cell.
Phosphatidylethanolamine, Sphingomyelin, Phospholipase A2, Phospholipase and Vesicle are subfields of Biochemistry in which his conducts study.
He studied Phospholipase and Phospholipase C that intersect with Phospholipase D and Phosphoglyceride.
His Phospholipid research integrates issues from Biophysics, Lipid bilayer and Membrane lipids.
Ben Roelofsen has included themes like Erythrocyte fragility, Cell biology, Phospholipid transfer protein and Fatty acid in his Phosphatidylcholine study.
When carried out as part of a general Membrane research project, his work on Erythrocyte membrane is frequently linked to work in Plasma, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.
He most often published in these fields:
- Biochemistry (67.24%)
- Phospholipid (49.14%)
- Phosphatidylcholine (40.52%)
What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1993-2013)?
- Biochemistry (67.24%)
- Phospholipid (49.14%)
- Biophysics (18.97%)
In recent papers he was focusing on the following fields of study:
Biochemistry, Phospholipid, Biophysics, Phosphatidylcholine and Membrane are his primary areas of study.
Ben Roelofsen connects Biochemistry with In vivo in his study.
Many of his studies on Phospholipid involve topics that are commonly interrelated, such as Unsaturated fatty acid.
His research in Biophysics intersects with topics in ATPase, Red blood cell and Hereditary spherocytosis.
The study incorporates disciplines such as Secretion, Molecular biology and Cytosol in addition to Phosphatidylcholine.
His work in the fields of Membrane, such as Erythrocyte membrane, intersects with other areas such as Asymmetry and Plasma.
Between 1993 and 2013, his most popular works were:
- The human MDR3 P-glycoprotein promotes translocation of phosphatidylcholine through the plasma membrane of fibroblasts from transgenic mice (241 citations)
- Molecular membrane biology: editor J. A. Lucy, Taylor and Francis, £45.00 (individual); £89.00 (institutional) (206 citations)
- Chapter 1 – Plasma Membrane Phospholipid Asymmetry and Its Maintenance: The Human Erythrocyte as a Model (31 citations)
In his most recent research, the most cited papers focused on:
- Enzyme
- Cell membrane
- Biochemistry
His primary areas of study are Biophysics, Philosophy, Membrane biology, Asymmetry and Membrane.
His work deals with themes such as Hereditary elliptocytosis, Phosphatidylserine, Biochemistry and Hereditary spherocytosis, which intersect with Biophysics.
His Asymmetry study spans across into fields like Plasma and Phospholipid.
