Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Microbiology, Enzyme, Cofactor and Listeria monocytogenes. He integrates many fields, such as Biochemistry and Dimer, in his works. His Microbiology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Human pathogen, Receptor, Transmembrane protein and Type three secretion system.

Dirk W. Heinz has included themes like Mutation, Radical SAM and Heme in his Cofactor study. His studies deal with areas such as Pathogen and Virulence as well as Listeria monocytogenes. His studies in Pathogen integrate themes in fields like Mutagenesis, Leucine-rich repeat and Cell biology.

His most cited work include:

  • Structure of Internalin, a Major Invasion Protein of Listeria Monocytogenes, in Complex with its Human Receptor E-Cadherin (248 citations)
  • Crystal Structure of Coproporphyrinogen III Oxidase Reveals Cofactor Geometry of Radical Sam Enzymes (212 citations)
  • Structure and function of enzymes in heme biosynthesis. (182 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Enzyme, Protein structure and Microbiology. In general Biochemistry, his work in Cofactor, Reductase, Binding site and Heme is often linked to Glutamyl-tRNA reductase linking many areas of study. Within one scientific family, Dirk W. Heinz focuses on topics pertaining to Radical SAM under Cofactor, and may sometimes address concerns connected to Radical.

His Stereochemistry research also works with subjects such as

  • Active site which is related to area like Porphobilinogen and Histidine,
  • Coproporphyrinogen III oxidase, which have a strong connection to Coproporphyrinogen III. His Enzyme research incorporates themes from Mutagenesis and Escherichia coli. His Microbiology study incorporates themes from Listeria monocytogenes, Human pathogen, Yersinia enterocolitica and Bacteria.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (45.26%)
  • Stereochemistry (28.47%)
  • Enzyme (12.41%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2010-2019)?

  • Biochemistry (45.26%)
  • Stereochemistry (28.47%)
  • Cell biology (9.49%)

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

Dirk W. Heinz mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Cell biology, Protein structure and Effector. All of his Biochemistry and Heme, Binding site, Plasma protein binding, Active site and Virulence investigations are sub-components of the entire Biochemistry study. His Stereochemistry study combines topics in areas such as Amino acid, Substrate analog and Cofactor.

Dirk W. Heinz interconnects Wound healing and Cell culture, Cell migration, HaCaT in the investigation of issues within Cell biology. His work carried out in the field of Protein structure brings together such families of science as Photosynthetic bacteria, Photochemistry, Biophysics and Oxidoreductase. His Effector research also works with subjects such as

  • DNA and Inducer most often made with reference to Binding domain,
  • Transcription, which have a strong connection to Bacteria, Enzyme and Bacillus subtilis.

Between 2010 and 2019, his most popular works were:

  • Targeting DnaN for tuberculosis therapy using novel griselimycins (168 citations)
  • In situ structural analysis of the Yersinia enterocolitica injectisome (95 citations)
  • Polysaccharide synthesis of the levansucrase SacB from Bacillus megaterium is controlled by distinct surface motifs. (71 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Amino acid

Dirk W. Heinz mainly investigates Protein structure, Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Biophysics and Polyketide. Dirk W. Heinz has researched Protein structure in several fields, including Photosynthesis, Photosynthetic bacteria, Transduction and Oxidoreductase, Oxidoreductase complex. His study in Stereochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Macromolecule, Protease inhibitor, Peptide backbone, Peptide and Hydrolase inhibitor.

As part of his studies on Biochemistry, Dirk W. Heinz frequently links adjacent subjects like Bacillus megaterium. His Biophysics study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Bacterial outer membrane, Type three secretion system, Microbiology and Transmembrane protein. His research integrates issues of Carbon fixation and Mutational analysis in his study of Polyketide.
