Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Sulfur, Biochemistry, Sulfur metabolism, Sulfite reductase and Thiosulfate. Her Sulfur study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Periplasmic space, Chromatiaceae, Green sulfur bacteria, Bacteria and Sulfite. Her Chromatiaceae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Chromatium and Archaea.

Her Green sulfur bacteria research focuses on subjects like Purple sulfur bacteria, which are linked to Anoxygenic photosynthesis. Her research in Biochemistry is mostly focused on Oxidoreductase. Her studies examine the connections between Thiosulfate and genetics, as well as such issues in Sulfide, with regards to Quinone oxidoreductase and Sulfide dehydrogenase activity.

Her most cited work include:

  • Sulfur Metabolism in Phototrophic Sulfur Bacteria (223 citations)
  • Novel Genes of the dsr Gene Cluster and Evidence for Close Interaction of Dsr Proteins during Sulfur Oxidation in the Phototrophic Sulfur Bacterium Allochromatium vinosum (171 citations)
  • Sirohaem sulfite reductase and other proteins encoded by genes at the dsr locus of Chromatium vinosum are involved in the oxidation of intracellular sulfur. (164 citations)

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

Christiane Dahl mostly deals with Biochemistry, Sulfur, Sulfur metabolism, Thiosulfate and Chromatiaceae. Biochemistry is represented through her Sulfite, Sulfite reductase, Enzyme, Periplasmic space and Oxidoreductase research. The Sulfite reductase study which covers Archaeoglobus fulgidus that intersects with Sulfate adenylyltransferase.

Her Sulfur research includes elements of Inorganic chemistry, Sulfide, Bacteria, Purple sulfur bacteria and Anoxygenic photosynthesis. She focuses mostly in the field of Sulfur metabolism, narrowing it down to matters related to Sulfur cycle and, in some cases, Environmental chemistry. Her Chromatiaceae research focuses on Operon and how it relates to Protein structure.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (68.57%)
  • Sulfur (54.29%)
  • Sulfur metabolism (36.19%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (68.57%)
  • Sulfur (54.29%)
  • Thiosulfate (30.48%)

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

Christiane Dahl spends much of her time researching Biochemistry, Sulfur, Thiosulfate, Sulfur metabolism and Tetrathionate. Her Biochemistry study frequently intersects with other fields, such as Bacteria. Her work carried out in the field of Sulfur brings together such families of science as Periplasmic space, Phototroph, Purple sulfur bacteria, Anoxygenic photosynthesis and Sulfide.

The concepts of her Thiosulfate study are interwoven with issues in Molecular biology and Hypothetical protein. Christiane Dahl has researched Sulfur metabolism in several fields, including Proteome, Hydrogensulfite reductase, Sulfite reductase, Gene cluster and Redox. Her Tetrathionate research includes themes of Inorganic chemistry and Enzyme, Heme.

Between 2012 and 2021, her most popular works were:

  • A protein trisulfide couples dissimilatory sulfate reduction to energy conservation (118 citations)
  • The "bacterial heterodisulfide" DsrC is a key protein in dissimilatory sulfur metabolism. (90 citations)
  • Sulfite oxidation in the purple sulfur bacterium Allochromatium vinosum: identification of SoeABC as a major player and relevance of SoxYZ in the process. (59 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Bacteria

Christiane Dahl mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Sulfur, Sulfur metabolism, Thiosulfate and Sulfite. The study incorporates disciplines such as Tetrathionate and Bacteria in addition to Biochemistry. Her primary area of study in Sulfur is in the field of Sulfur cycle.

The concepts of her Sulfur metabolism study are interwoven with issues in Purple sulfur bacteria, Green sulfur bacteria, Sulfide and Proteome. Her Thiosulfate course of study focuses on Chromatiaceae and Oxidoreductase, Cytochrome, Heme, Thiosulfate dehydrogenase and Enzyme kinetics. Her work deals with themes such as Hydrogensulfite reductase, Sulfite reductase, Function, Peptide sequence and Regulation of gene expression, which intersect with Sulfite.
