Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

His main research concerns Molecular biology, Transcription, Sigma factor, Cell biology and RNA polymerase. His Molecular biology research incorporates themes from Crystallography, Electrophoresis and DNA. Transcription is a subfield of Gene that he tackles.

Within one scientific family, Charles P. Moran focuses on topics pertaining to Transcription factor under Sigma factor, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Binding site. His studies deal with areas such as Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, Cellular differentiation, Mutant, Microbiology and Endospore coat as well as Cell biology. His RNA polymerase study frequently involves adjacent topics like Promoter.

His most cited work include:

  • Structure, assembly, and function of the spore surface layers (419 citations)
  • Structure and assembly of the bacterial endospore coat. (212 citations)
  • Control of cell shape and elongation by the rodA gene in Bacillus subtilis (174 citations)

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

Charles P. Moran mostly deals with Sigma factor, RNA polymerase, Transcription, Molecular biology and Promoter. His Sigma factor research includes elements of Operon, Binding site, RNA polymerase II holoenzyme and Cell biology. His Cell biology study incorporates themes from Peptidoglycan, Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, Mutant and Microbiology.

His RNA polymerase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both RNA polymerase II and Polymerase. His research integrates issues of Endospore formation, Gene expression, Transcription factor and Structural gene in his study of Transcription. In his research on the topic of Molecular biology, Bacillaceae is strongly related with Gene.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Sigma factor (60.42%)
  • RNA polymerase (55.21%)
  • Transcription (53.13%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2005-2019)?

  • Cell biology (31.25%)
  • Sigma factor (60.42%)
  • Biochemistry (25.00%)

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

His primary areas of study are Cell biology, Sigma factor, Biochemistry, Endospore formation and RNA polymerase. His Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Secretion, Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis and Microbiology, Spore. His research investigates the connection between Sigma factor and topics such as Transcription factor that intersect with issues in Operon, Transcription, RNA and Binding site.

His work on Plasma protein binding as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently connected to Integral membrane protein, thereby bridging the divide between different branches of science. His research in Endospore formation tackles topics such as Cell membrane which are related to areas like Signal peptide. He focuses mostly in the field of RNA polymerase, narrowing it down to topics relating to Gene expression and, in certain cases, Asparagine and Mutation.

Between 2005 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Structure, assembly, and function of the spore surface layers (419 citations)
  • A channel connecting the mother cell and forespore during bacterial endospore formation (83 citations)
  • Novel Secretion Apparatus Maintains Spore Integrity and Developmental Gene Expression in Bacillus subtilis (79 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Charles P. Moran focuses on Cell biology, Biochemistry, Secretion, Cellular differentiation and Sigma factor. His Cell biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Morphogenesis and Endospore. In general Biochemistry, his work in Plasma protein binding, Lysozyme and Peptidoglycan binding is often linked to Coat linking many areas of study.

The Secretion study combines topics in areas such as Protein structure, Structural motif, Transporter and Transmembrane domain. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Cytoplasm, Flagellum, Extracellular, Cell division and Endospore formation. His Sigma factor research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Sporulation in Bacillus subtilis, Operon, DNA and Transcription factor.
