  • 1998 - Fellow of the Royal Society of Canada Academy of Science

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Metabolism
  • Photosynthesis

His scientific interests lie mostly in Photosynthesis, Botany, Biochemistry, Respiration and Ammonium. His work in the fields of Photosynthesis, such as Specific leaf area and RuBisCO, intersects with other areas such as Conductance. The study incorporates disciplines such as Carbon dioxide, Nitrate and Animal science in addition to Botany.

His work on Pyruvate carboxylase, Metabolism, Fatty acid synthesis and Malate dehydrogenase as part of general Biochemistry research is often related to Malic acid, thus linking different fields of science. His Respiration research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nitrogen assimilation, Assimilation and Algae. His Ammonium study combines topics in areas such as Environmental chemistry, Fractionation, Isotope fractionation and Isotopes of nitrogen.

His most cited work include:

  • Integration of Carbon and Nitrogen Metabolism in Plant and Algal Cells (359 citations)
  • EFFECTS OF INORGANIC N AVAILABILITY ON ALGAL PHOTOSYNTHESIS AND CARBON METABOLISM (347 citations)
  • Nitrogen isotope fractionation during the uptake and assimilation of nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and urea by a marine diatom (264 citations)

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

David H. Turpin focuses on Biochemistry, Photosynthesis, Botany, Ammonium and Assimilation. In the field of Biochemistry, his study on Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase, Enzyme and Pyruvate kinase overlaps with subjects such as Chlamydomonas reinhardtii. His research in Photosynthesis intersects with topics in Chlorophyll, Nitrogen assimilation, Algae, Respiration and Dissolved organic carbon.

His studies deal with areas such as Chemostat, Nitrogen, Horticulture, Carbon and Animal science as well as Botany. The Nitrogen study combines topics in areas such as Inorganic chemistry and Nitrate. As a part of the same scientific study, David H. Turpin usually deals with the Ammonium, concentrating on Chlorophyta and frequently concerns with Selenastrum and Phosphate.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (49.11%)
  • Photosynthesis (40.18%)
  • Botany (33.04%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1997-2014)?

  • Botany (33.04%)
  • Biochemistry (49.11%)
  • Photosynthesis (40.18%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Botany, Biochemistry, Photosynthesis, Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase and Enzyme. His Botany research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Animal science, Nutrient, Horticulture and Nitrate. In his work, David H. Turpin performs multidisciplinary research in Biochemistry and Homotetramer.

His Photosynthesis research includes elements of Dissolved organic carbon and Isotopes of carbon. His study on Phosphoenolpyruvate carboxylase also encompasses disciplines like

  • Molecular mass, which have a strong connection to Dihydroxyacetone phosphate, Chlorophyceae, Pyruvate carboxylase, Assimilation and Cytosol,
  • Green algae which intersects with area such as Carbon fixation. Many of his research projects under Enzyme are closely connected to Receptor–ligand kinetics and Gene isoform with Receptor–ligand kinetics and Gene isoform, tying the diverse disciplines of science together.

Between 1997 and 2014, his most popular works were:

  • Nitrogen isotope fractionation during the uptake and assimilation of nitrate, nitrite, ammonium, and urea by a marine diatom (264 citations)
  • STEADY‐STATE LUXURY CONSUMPTION AND THE CONCEPT OF OPTIMUM NUTRIENT RATIOS: A STUDY WITH PHOSPHATE AND NITRATE LIMITED SELENASTRUM MINUTUM (CHLOROPHYTA)1 (131 citations)
  • Transfer conductance in second growth Douglas‐fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirb.)Franco) canopies (126 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Metabolism
  • Photosynthesis

David H. Turpin mainly investigates Botany, Nitrate, Photosynthesis, Stomatal conductance and Isotopes of nitrogen. His Botany study typically links adjacent topics like Animal science. His Photosynthesis research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Horticulture and Chlorophyll a.

The concepts of his Stomatal conductance study are interwoven with issues in Carbon dioxide, Stomatal density and Transpiration. David H. Turpin combines subjects such as Ammonium, Fractionation, Isotope fractionation, Emiliania huxleyi and Environmental chemistry with his study of Isotopes of nitrogen. His research integrates issues of Urea, Coccolithophore, Nitrogen, Inorganic chemistry and Thalassiosira pseudonana in his study of Ammonium.
