Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Deborah L. Zink spends much of her time researching Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Enzyme, Natural product and Biological activity. Her Stereochemistry research includes elements of Integrase, Platensimycin, Organic chemistry and Enzyme inhibitor. In her research, she performs multidisciplinary study on Biochemistry and Apicidin.

Her Enzyme research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of IC50, Antibacterial agent, Bacterial growth and Phoma. Deborah L. Zink has included themes like Streptomyces, Chemical synthesis, Acyl carrier protein synthase and Cyclohexenone in her Antibacterial agent study. Her Natural product research incorporates themes from Antibacterial activity, Antibiotic resistance, Staphylococcus aureus and DNA gyrase.

Her most cited work include:

  • Isolation, structure, and absolute stereochemistry of platensimycin, a broad spectrum antibiotic discovered using an antisense differential sensitivity strategy. (183 citations)
  • Isolation and Structure of Platencin: A FabH and FabF Dual Inhibitor with Potent Broad‐Spectrum Antibiotic Activity (153 citations)
  • Equisetin and a novel opposite stereochemical homolog phomasetin, two fungal metabolites as inhibitors of HIV-1 integrase (120 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Biological activity, Enzyme and Microbiology. Her studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Platensimycin and Antifungal. Her Biochemistry research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Isolation and Antibacterial activity.

The concepts of her Antibacterial activity study are interwoven with issues in Antibacterial agent and Peptide. Deborah L. Zink works mostly in the field of Enzyme, limiting it down to concerns involving Integrase and, occasionally, Inhibitory postsynaptic potential and Recombinant DNA. In her work, Ribosomal RNA is strongly intertwined with Staphylococcus aureus, which is a subfield of Microbiology.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Stereochemistry (48.87%)
  • Biochemistry (40.72%)
  • Biological activity (15.84%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2008-2020)?

  • Biochemistry (40.72%)
  • Microbiology (13.12%)
  • Antibacterial activity (7.24%)

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

Her primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Antibacterial activity, Stereochemistry and Antibiotics. Deborah L. Zink studies Enzyme which is a part of Biochemistry. As a part of the same scientific study, she usually deals with the Microbiology, concentrating on Biological activity and frequently concerns with Peptide.

In her study, which falls under the umbrella issue of Antibacterial activity, Protein biosynthesis is strongly linked to Antibacterial agent. Her studies deal with areas such as Platensimycin and Polyketide as well as Stereochemistry. In her research, Neosartorya glabra and Neosartorya is intimately related to Staphylococcus aureus, which falls under the overarching field of Antibiotics.

Between 2008 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • Discovery of Kibdelomycin, A Potent New Class of Bacterial Type II Topoisomerase Inhibitor by Chemical-Genetic Profiling in Staphylococcus aureus (91 citations)
  • Distribution of the antifungal agents sordarins across filamentous fungi (45 citations)
  • Antisense-guided isolation and structure elucidation of pannomycin, a substituted cis-decalin from Geomyces pannorum. (39 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Deborah L. Zink mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Microbiology, Antibacterial activity, Antibiotics and Isolation. Her Biochemistry study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Trichophyton and Streptomycetaceae, Actinomycetales. Her research in Antibacterial activity intersects with topics in Platensimycin, Antibacterial agent, Peptide and Stereochemistry.

She interconnects Biosynthesis and Enzyme in the investigation of issues within Stereochemistry. Her Antibiotics study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neosartorya glabra and Staphylococcus aureus. Her work in Biological activity addresses subjects such as Candida albicans, which are connected to disciplines such as Genome and Fermentation.
