Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

David H. Sherman mostly deals with Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Polyketide, Polyketide synthase and Biosynthesis. His Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Reductase, Active site, Decarboxylation, Pikromycin and Binding site. His Polyketide research includes elements of Nonribosomal peptide, Docking, Natural product, Secondary metabolism and Acyl carrier protein.

The concepts of his Polyketide synthase study are interwoven with issues in Bryostatin, Gene product, ATP synthase and Streptomyces. His research in Streptomyces intersects with topics in Rhizobium, Escherichia coli, ORFS, Open reading frame and Chalcone synthase. His work carried out in the field of Biosynthesis brings together such families of science as Lyngbya majuscula, Cyanobacteria, Fatty acid, Indole test and Prenylation.

His most cited work include:

  • A putative flip–flop switch for control of REM sleep (878 citations)
  • Molecular Genetics of Polyketides and Its Comparison to Fatty Acid Biosynthesis (591 citations)
  • Molecular Genetics of Polyketides and Its Comparison to Fatty Acid Biosynthesis (591 citations)

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

His primary scientific interests are in Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Polyketide, Biosynthesis and Polyketide synthase. His Stereochemistry study which covers Pikromycin that intersects with Desosamine. His work in Biochemistry tackles topics such as Streptomyces which are related to areas like Open reading frame.

His work deals with themes such as Nonribosomal peptide, Streptomyces coelicolor, Acyltransferase, Computational biology and ATP synthase, which intersect with Polyketide. His Biosynthesis study frequently draws connections to adjacent fields such as Metabolic pathway. His studies in Polyketide synthase integrate themes in fields like Decarboxylation, Transferase and Acyl carrier protein.

  • Stereochemistry (45.97%)
  • Biosynthesis (24.94%)
  • Polyketide (29.34%)

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

David H. Sherman spends much of his time researching Stereochemistry, Biosynthesis, Polyketide, Biochemistry and Polyketide synthase. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Acyl carrier protein, Cycloaddition and Substrate, Enzyme. His study in Biosynthesis is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Monooxygenase, Molecule, Flavin group, Operon and Bacillus anthracis.

The various areas that David H. Sherman examines in his Polyketide study include Protein domain, Active site, Protein structure, Selectivity and Computational biology. As part of his studies on Biochemistry, David H. Sherman often connects relevant areas like Streptomyces. His Polyketide synthase research incorporates elements of Gene cluster, Acyltransferase, Lyase and Transferase.

Between 2015 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Defining preBötzinger Complex Rhythm- and Pattern-Generating Neural Microcircuits In Vivo. (65 citations)
  • Discovery of cahuitamycins as biofilm inhibitors derived from a convergent biosynthetic pathway (41 citations)
  • Environmental Pseudomonads Inhibit Cystic Fibrosis Patient-Derived Pseudomonas aeruginosa. (36 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

David H. Sherman mainly investigates Stereochemistry, Polyketide, Biosynthesis, Biochemistry and Polyketide synthase. His work on Indole test as part of general Stereochemistry research is often related to Extender, thus linking different fields of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Protein domain, Mutant, Synthetic biology, Gene cluster and Acyltransferase in addition to Polyketide.

The Mutant study combines topics in areas such as Protein phosphatase 2, Streptomyces and Thioesterase. His research on Biosynthesis frequently links to adjacent areas such as Carbon-Carbon Lyases. As part of his studies on Polyketide synthase, David H. Sherman frequently links adjacent subjects like Lyase.
