Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Catalysis

Dennis R. Dean mainly investigates Nitrogenase, Biochemistry, Azotobacter vinelandii, Stereochemistry and Cysteine desulfurase activity. His Nitrogenase research includes themes of Inorganic chemistry and Enzyme, Catalysis, Active site. Dennis R. Dean has included themes like FeMoco and Electron transfer in his Biochemistry study.

His Azotobacter vinelandii research integrates issues from Azotobacteraceae and Gene cluster, Protein subunit, Gene, Mutant. His research in Stereochemistry intersects with topics in Residue, Substrate and Cofactor. His research investigates the connection with Cysteine desulfurase activity and areas like Iron-sulfur cluster assembly which intersect with concerns in Cysteine desulfurase and ISCU.

His most cited work include:

  • STRUCTURE, FUNCTION, AND FORMATION OF BIOLOGICAL IRON-SULFUR CLUSTERS (969 citations)
  • Mechanism of Nitrogen Fixation by Nitrogenase: The Next Stage (730 citations)
  • Assembly of Iron-Sulfur Clusters: IDENTIFICATION OF AN iscSUA-hscBA-fdx GENE CLUSTER FROM AZOTOBACTER VINELANDII (538 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Nitrogenase, Azotobacter vinelandii, Biochemistry, Stereochemistry and Crystallography. The study incorporates disciplines such as Cofactor, Catalysis, Active site, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Substrate in addition to Nitrogenase. In his study, Molecular biology and Azotobacter is strongly linked to Gene, which falls under the umbrella field of Azotobacter vinelandii.

His Stereochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Amino acid, Alkyne, Cysteine, Propargyl alcohol and Binding site. His Crystallography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Hyperfine structure, Metal, Electron transfer, Redox and Nuclear magnetic resonance. His studies examine the connections between ISCU and genetics, as well as such issues in Iron-sulfur cluster assembly, with regards to Cysteine desulfurase.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Nitrogenase (68.52%)
  • Azotobacter vinelandii (42.13%)
  • Biochemistry (36.57%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2011-2021)?

  • Nitrogenase (68.52%)
  • Catalysis (14.81%)
  • Electron transfer (13.43%)

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

Dennis R. Dean spends much of his time researching Nitrogenase, Catalysis, Electron transfer, Photochemistry and Reductive elimination. The various areas that Dennis R. Dean examines in his Nitrogenase study include Hydride and Active site. His research integrates issues of Crystallography and Propargyl alcohol in his study of Active site.

His work in Catalysis addresses subjects such as Inorganic chemistry, which are connected to disciplines such as Stereochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Photochemistry brings together such families of science as Yield, Formate, Electron paramagnetic resonance and Redox. His studies deal with areas such as MoFe Protein and Biochemistry, Binding site as well as Azotobacter vinelandii.

Between 2011 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Mechanism of Nitrogen Fixation by Nitrogenase: The Next Stage (730 citations)
  • Nitrogenase: a draft mechanism. (214 citations)
  • (IscS‐IscU)2 Complex Structures Provide Insights into Fe2S2 Biogenesis and Transfer (99 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Catalysis

Dennis R. Dean mostly deals with Nitrogenase, Catalysis, Nitrogen fixation, Photochemistry and Inorganic chemistry. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Reductive elimination and Active site. As part of one scientific family, he deals mainly with the area of Active site, narrowing it down to issues related to the Binding site, and often Azotobacter vinelandii.

His Catalysis research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Electron paramagnetic resonance, Substrate and Analytical chemistry. His studies in Inorganic chemistry integrate themes in fields like Hydrolysis, Stereochemistry and Electron transfer. He combines subjects such as Oxidation reduction, Biochemistry, FeMoco, Acetylene and Carbon dioxide with his study of Vanadium nitrogenase.
