Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • DNA
  • Amino acid

His main research concerns Particle, Tobacco mosaic virus, Crystallography, Molecular physics and Biophysics. His study in Tobacco mosaic virus is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both RNA, Nucleic acid and Nanotechnology. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Protein structure, Protein subunit, Electron density and Electron microscope.

Donald L. D. Caspar combines subjects such as Tropomyosin and Microscopy with his study of Electron microscope. The concepts of his Molecular physics study are interwoven with issues in Scattering, Diffraction and Protein crystallization. In Biophysics, Donald L. D. Caspar works on issues like Recombinant DNA, which are connected to Capsid, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Scanning transmission electron microscopy and Fibril.

His most cited work include:

  • Physical Principles in the Construction of Regular Viruses (1928 citations)
  • Assembly and Stability of the Tobacco Mosaic Virus Particle (461 citations)
  • The structure of small viruses. (292 citations)

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

Donald L. D. Caspar mainly focuses on Crystallography, Diffraction, Molecular physics, X-ray crystallography and Biophysics. His work carried out in the field of Crystallography brings together such families of science as Protein structure, Capsid and Electron microscope.
