Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Darwin J. Prockop mainly investigates Biochemistry, Hydroxyproline, Proline, Protocollagen and Hydroxylation. His studies deal with areas such as Covalent bond and Antigen as well as Biochemistry. His Hydroxyproline study combines topics in areas such as Collagen biosynthesis, Intracellular and Incubation.

His Proline research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Extracellular, Secretion and Lysine. Much of his study explores Protocollagen relationship to Stereochemistry. His Enzyme study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chromatography and Agarose.

His most cited work include:

  • Modified procedure for the assay of H3- or C14-labeled hydroxyproline (619 citations)
  • Synthesis and extrusion of collagen by freshly isolated cells from chick embryo tendon (256 citations)
  • The Biosynthesis of Collagen: (Second of Three Parts) (208 citations)

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

Darwin J. Prockop focuses on Biochemistry, Proline, Hydroxyproline, Hydroxylation and Protocollagen. His study in Enzyme, Lysine, Hydroxylysine, Biosynthesis and In vitro is done as part of Biochemistry. His studies in Proline integrate themes in fields like Extracellular, Extracellular matrix, Intracellular and Incubation.

His Hydroxyproline research integrates issues from Amino acid, Stereochemistry, Cartilage and Metabolism. The various areas that Darwin J. Prockop examines in his Hydroxylation study include Puromycin and Peptide. His Protocollagen research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Golgi apparatus, Endoplasmic reticulum and Vacuole.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (72.50%)
  • Proline (52.50%)
  • Hydroxyproline (51.25%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1973-2015)?

  • Gene (7.50%)
  • Genetics (6.25%)
  • Molecular biology (11.25%)

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

His main research concerns Gene, Genetics, Molecular biology, Mutation and Procollagen peptidase. Darwin J. Prockop has included themes like Glutamine, Cartilage and Function in his Gene study. In general Genetics study, his work on Exon, Genetic determinism, Genetic predisposition and Mutant often relates to the realm of Structural Protein Gene, thereby connecting several areas of interest.

Darwin J. Prockop focuses mostly in the field of Molecular biology, narrowing it down to topics relating to Allele and, in certain cases, Residue, Tryptophan and Arginine. His Mutation research incorporates elements of Nucleic acid, Polymorphism, Genetic linkage, Restriction fragment length polymorphism and Linkage. His work deals with themes such as Protocollagen, Hydroxylation, Golgi apparatus, Endoplasmic reticulum and Cell fractionation, which intersect with Procollagen peptidase.

Between 1973 and 2015, his most popular works were:

  • Splicing mutations of 54-bp exons in the COL11A1 gene cause Marshall syndrome, but other mutations cause overlapping Marshall/Stickler phenotypes. (188 citations)
  • Two improved methods for preparing ferritin-protein conjugates for electron microscopy. (142 citations)
  • A second mutation in the type II procollagen gene (COL2AI) causing stickler syndrome (arthro-ophthalmopathy) is also a premature termination codon. (92 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Exon, Gene, Genetics, Phenotype and Osteochondrodysplasia. His research in Exon intersects with topics in Gene mutation, Procollagen peptidase, Molecular biology, Allele and Gene duplication. Darwin J. Prockop studies Gene, namely Mutation.

The concepts of his Phenotype study are interwoven with issues in Genetic determinism and Genotype.
