Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Glutamine synthetase, Transcription, Glutamine and Molecular biology. His work on Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Enzyme and Promoter as part of general Biochemistry research is frequently linked to Ure2, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research in Promoter tackles topics such as Operon which are related to areas like Gene product.

Boris Magasanik combines subjects such as Structural gene, Activator and Adenylylation with his study of Glutamine synthetase. His Transcription study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as rpoN and Gene expression. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Mutant, DNA and Escherichia coli.

His most cited work include:

  • Nitrogen regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (490 citations)
  • Covalent modification of the glnG product, NRI, by the glnL product, NRII, regulates the transcription of the glnALG operon in Escherichia coli (400 citations)
  • Transcription of glnA in E. coli is stimulated by activator bound to sites far from the promoter. (340 citations)

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

Boris Magasanik spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Enzyme, Molecular biology, Escherichia coli and Glutamine synthetase. His is involved in several facets of Biochemistry study, as is seen by his studies on Mutant, Histidine, Glutamine, Catabolite repression and Gene. His Enzyme study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Inducer, Protein subunit, Microbiology, Stereochemistry and Bacillus subtilis.

Boris Magasanik focuses mostly in the field of Molecular biology, narrowing it down to matters related to Transcription and, in some cases, DNA, Promoter and Binding site. In his research on the topic of Escherichia coli, Messenger RNA is strongly related with Protein biosynthesis. His biological study deals with issues like Enterobacter aerogenes, which deal with fields such as Histidine ammonia-lyase and Aerobacter aerogenes.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (70.65%)
  • Enzyme (26.09%)
  • Molecular biology (22.83%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1984-2016)?

  • Biochemistry (70.65%)
  • Transcription (16.30%)
  • Molecular biology (22.83%)

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

Boris Magasanik focuses on Biochemistry, Transcription, Molecular biology, Glutamine synthetase and Promoter. As part of his studies on Biochemistry, Boris Magasanik often connects relevant subjects like Glutamate dehydrogenase. The study incorporates disciplines such as rpoN, Gene expression, DNA and Binding site in addition to Transcription.

His Glutamine synthetase research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Activator and Enzyme. In general Promoter study, his work on Sigma factor, General transcription factor, Response element and DNA binding site often relates to the realm of DNA supercoil, thereby connecting several areas of interest. His work is dedicated to discovering how Escherichia coli, Mutant are connected with Molecular cloning and other disciplines.

Between 1984 and 2016, his most popular works were:

  • Nitrogen regulation in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. (490 citations)
  • Covalent modification of the glnG product, NRI, by the glnL product, NRII, regulates the transcription of the glnALG operon in Escherichia coli (400 citations)
  • Transcription of glnA in E. coli is stimulated by activator bound to sites far from the promoter. (340 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Boris Magasanik mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Glutamine synthetase, Transcription, Glutamine and glnALG operon. Boris Magasanik merges Biochemistry with Ure2 in his research. In his work, Escherichia coli is strongly intertwined with Activator, which is a subfield of Glutamine synthetase.

Boris Magasanik has included themes like Promoter, Gene expression, rpoN and Molecular biology in his Transcription study. His work deals with themes such as Amino acid permease and Permease, which intersect with Saccharomyces cerevisiae. His Operon research incorporates elements of Gene product and Pii nitrogen regulatory proteins.
