  • Ribosome (69.23%)
  • Biochemistry (46.15%)
  • Transfer RNA (44.62%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2017-2021)?

  • Cell biology (25.38%)
  • Ribosome (69.23%)
  • Biophysics (39.23%)

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

His main research concerns Cell biology, Ribosome, Biophysics, Phosphodiesterase and Computational biology. His studies deal with areas such as Termination factor, RNA polymerase, Transcription, Protein subunit and DNA as well as Cell biology. His Ribosome research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Ribosomal RNA, Proteostasis, Gene expression and Protein biosynthesis.

His work on Eukaryotic Large Ribosomal Subunit as part of general Ribosomal RNA study is frequently linked to Last universal ancestor, bridging the gap between disciplines. His research investigates the connection between Biophysics and topics such as Transport protein that intersect with problems in Prenylation, Binding protein, Solubilization and Membrane. His research on Computational biology also deals with topics like

  • Translational regulation which intersects with area such as Proteome, Operon, Metabolic pathway, Escherichia coli and Rational design,
  • Proteomics, which have a strong connection to Protein degradation and Translation.

Between 2017 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Insights into the assembly and activation of the microtubule nucleator γ-TuRC (40 citations)
  • Structural Basis for the Action of an All-Purpose Transcription Anti-termination Factor (32 citations)
  • Alanine Tails Signal Proteolysis in Bacterial Ribosome-Associated Quality Control. (24 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA
