Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis

His primary areas of investigation include Organic chemistry, Toluene dioxygenase, Pseudomonas putida, Biochemistry and NAD+ kinase. His Anthracene, Decomposition, Biodegradation and Lignin study in the realm of Organic chemistry interacts with subjects such as Materials science. His Toluene dioxygenase research includes themes of Indole test, Toluene, Spectrophotometry and Tryptophanase.

The concepts of his Pseudomonas putida study are interwoven with issues in Escherichia coli, Electron donor, Dioxygenase, Dehydrogenase and Naphthalene. David T. Gibson combines subjects such as Carbon, Beijerinckia and Enrichment culture with his study of Biochemistry. His Biphenyl research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of BenzAnthracenes and Stereochemistry.

His most cited work include:

  • Microbial degradation of organic compounds. (547 citations)
  • Expression of naphthalene oxidation genes in Escherichia coli results in the biosynthesis of indigo (447 citations)
  • Crystal structure of naphthalene dioxygenase: side-on binding of dioxygen to iron. (363 citations)

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

Stereochemistry, Organic chemistry, Biochemistry, Enzyme and Pseudomonas putida are his primary areas of study. David T. Gibson has researched Stereochemistry in several fields, including Strain, Biphenyl, Metabolite, Diol and Naphthalene. He works mostly in the field of Biochemistry, limiting it down to topics relating to Pseudomonas and, in certain cases, Cell-free system, Substituent and Alcohol oxidoreductase, as a part of the same area of interest.

David T. Gibson has included themes like Plasmid, DNA, Cleavage and Hydroquinone in his Enzyme study. His Pseudomonas putida research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Nuclear chemistry, Escherichia coli, Toluene, Chromatography and Toluene dioxygenase. His Toluene research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Medicinal chemistry and Absolute.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (43.02%)
  • Organic chemistry (26.74%)
  • Biochemistry (23.26%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1996-2003)?

  • Stereochemistry (43.02%)
  • Enzyme (20.93%)
  • Dihydroxylation (5.81%)

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

David T. Gibson mainly investigates Stereochemistry, Enzyme, Dihydroxylation, Dioxygenase and Enantiopure drug. David T. Gibson has researched Stereochemistry in several fields, including Strain, Escherichia coli, Stereospecificity, Binding site and Reaction mechanism. His Escherichia coli research integrates issues from Regioselectivity, Microorganism, Pseudomonas putida, Metabolite and Toluene dioxygenase.

His Enzyme research is included under the broader classification of Organic chemistry. His research integrates issues of Pseudomonadales, Pseudomonadaceae, Pseudomonas and Enterobacteriaceae in his study of Organic chemistry. His research in Enantiopure drug intersects with topics in Pyridine, Medicinal chemistry, Quinoline, Ring and Toluene.

Between 1996 and 2003, his most popular works were:

  • Crystal structure of naphthalene dioxygenase: side-on binding of dioxygen to iron. (363 citations)
  • Enzymatic Dihydroxylation of Aromatics in Enantioselective Synthesis: Expanding Asymmetric Methodology (83 citations)
  • bis-cis-dihydrodiols: A new class of metabolites resulting from biphenyl dioxygenase-catalyzed sequential asymmetric cis-dihydroxylation of polycyclic arenes and heteroarenes (46 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Catalysis

His primary areas of study are Dihydroxylation, Yield, Dioxygenase, Stereochemistry and Organic chemistry. In most of his Dihydroxylation studies, his work intersects topics such as Toluene. His study in Yield is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Pyridine, Medicinal chemistry, Quinoline, Ring and Enantiopure drug.

His Dioxygenase research incorporates elements of Proton NMR, Phenanthridine, Thiophene, Biphenyl and Chrysene. His studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Double bond, Oxygen, Stereospecificity, Binding site and Reaction mechanism. His study involves Enantioselective synthesis and Enzyme, a branch of Organic chemistry.
