Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Metabolism

D. Rittenberg mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Cholesterol, Fatty acid, Glycine and Intermediary Metabolism. He usually deals with Biochemistry and limits it to topics linked to Endocrinology and Pigment. His work focuses on many connections between Cholesterol and other disciplines, such as Acetic acid, that overlap with his field of interest in Sodium acetate.

His work on Palmitic acid and Polyunsaturated fatty acid as part of general Fatty acid study is frequently linked to Cholesterol formation, bridging the gap between disciplines. The various areas that he examines in his Glycine study include Urea, Porphyrin and Metabolism. His work is dedicated to discovering how Amino acid, Ammonia are connected with Citric acid and other disciplines.

His most cited work include:

  • The life span of the human red blood cell. (280 citations)
  • A new procedure for quantitative analysis by isotope dilution, with application to the determination of amino acids and fatty acids. (235 citations)
  • STUDIES IN PROTEIN METABOLISM X. THE METABOLIC ACTIVITY OF BODY PROTEINS INVESTIGATED WITH l (-)-LEUCINE CONTAINING TWO ISOTOPES (205 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Metabolism, Glycine, Amino acid and Intermediary Metabolism are his primary areas of study. Biochemistry is a component of his Protein metabolism, Fatty acid, Hemoglobin, Urea and Glutamic acid studies. His Protein metabolism study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Tyrosine, Isotopes of nitrogen, Arginine and Ammonia.

His studies deal with areas such as Chromatography, Acetic acid and Cholesterol as well as Fatty acid. His Urea research incorporates themes from Urine, Excretion and Protein biosynthesis. His Glycine study also includes fields such as

  • Stereochemistry together with Hydrogen,
  • Leucine that connect with fields like Lysine.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (64.17%)
  • Metabolism (23.33%)
  • Glycine (18.33%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1952-2009)?

  • Biochemistry (64.17%)
  • Hydrogenase (6.67%)
  • Hydrogen (10.00%)

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

D. Rittenberg focuses on Biochemistry, Hydrogenase, Hydrogen, Protein metabolism and Isotopes of nitrogen. Biochemistry is represented through his Enzyme, Oxidative phosphorylation, Excretion, Protein biosynthesis and Urea research. His work in Hydrogenase addresses issues such as Photochemistry, which are connected to fields such as Carbon monoxide and Oxygen.

His study in Hydrogen is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Combinatorial chemistry and Nuclear chemistry. His Protein metabolism research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Glycine, Lipid metabolism and Proteins metabolism. D. Rittenberg studied Isotopes of nitrogen and Environmental chemistry that intersect with Amino acid.

Between 1952 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • The Mechanism of Action of the Enzyme Hydrogenase1 (108 citations)
  • A study of the rate of protein synthesis in humans. II. Measurement of the metabolic pool and the rate of protein synthesis. (82 citations)
  • A study of the rate of protein synthesis in humans. I. Measurement of the urea pool and urea space. (82 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Metabolism

D. Rittenberg mostly deals with Biochemistry, Hydrogenase, Excretion, Protein biosynthesis and Urea. His Bioinformatics research extends to Biochemistry, which is thematically connected. The study incorporates disciplines such as Photochemistry, Nitric oxide and Oxygen in addition to Hydrogenase.

His Excretion research includes elements of Protein metabolism, Body weight, Urine, Ammonia and Proteins metabolism. As part of his studies on Protein biosynthesis, D. Rittenberg often connects relevant areas like Glycine.
