Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Edward A. Meighen mostly deals with Biochemistry, Vibrio harveyi, Molecular biology, Vibrio and Bioluminescence. His study involves Fatty acid, Enzyme, Molecular cloning, Fatty alcohol and Wax ester, a branch of Biochemistry. His Vibrio harveyi research integrates issues from Quorum sensing, Gene expression, Microbiology, Peptide sequence and Stereochemistry.

His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of Nucleic acid sequence, Operon, Gene, Escherichia coli and Primer extension. In his research, Homoserine is intimately related to Autoinducer, which falls under the overarching field of Vibrio. His Bioluminescence study which covers Luminescent bacteria that intersects with Bioluminescent bacteria and Regulation of gene expression.

His most cited work include:

  • Purification and structural identification of an autoinducer for the luminescence system of Vibrio harveyi. (345 citations)
  • Bacterial bioluminescence: organization, regulation, and application of the lux genes (233 citations)
  • The natural furanone (5Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-3-butyl-2(5H)-furanone disrupts quorum sensing-regulated gene expression in Vibrio harveyi by decreasing the DNA-binding activity of the transcriptional regulator protein luxR (145 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Vibrio harveyi, Molecular biology, Stereochemistry and Enzyme. His work on Aldehyde, Fatty acid and Bioluminescence as part of general Biochemistry research is frequently linked to Luciferases, thereby connecting diverse disciplines of science. The study incorporates disciplines such as Mutant, Microbiology and Autoinducer in addition to Vibrio harveyi.

His research in Molecular biology intersects with topics in Operon, Gene, Escherichia coli, Repressor and Molecular cloning. His study looks at the relationship between Stereochemistry and topics such as Flavin group, which overlap with Binding site. When carried out as part of a general Enzyme research project, his work on NAD+ kinase, Aldehyde dehydrogenase and Fatty aldehyde is frequently linked to work in Myristic acid, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of study.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (71.54%)
  • Vibrio harveyi (41.54%)
  • Molecular biology (22.31%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1999-2007)?

  • Biochemistry (71.54%)
  • Vibrio harveyi (41.54%)
  • Active site (6.92%)

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

Edward A. Meighen spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Vibrio harveyi, Active site, Quorum sensing and Mutant. His study in the field of Enzyme, Cysteine and FMN reductase also crosses realms of Luciferases and Bacterial luciferase. The concepts of his Vibrio harveyi study are interwoven with issues in Bioluminescence, Microbiology, Autoinducer, Repressor and Vibrio cholerae.

His Bioluminescence research includes elements of Luminescence and Homoserine. He usually deals with Autoinducer and limits it to topics linked to Molecular biology and Molecular cloning, Amidase and Peptide sequence. Edward A. Meighen has included themes like Aldehyde dehydrogenase, Stereochemistry and Dehydrogenase in his Active site study.

Between 1999 and 2007, his most popular works were:

  • The natural furanone (5Z)-4-bromo-5-(bromomethylene)-3-butyl-2(5H)-furanone disrupts quorum sensing-regulated gene expression in Vibrio harveyi by decreasing the DNA-binding activity of the transcriptional regulator protein luxR (145 citations)
  • LitR, a new transcriptional activator in Vibrio fischeri, regulates luminescence and symbiotic light organ colonization (113 citations)
  • Cloning and Characterization of the Bile Salt Hydrolase Genes (bsh) from Bifidobacterium bifidum Strains (73 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Edward A. Meighen focuses on Vibrio harveyi, Quorum sensing, Autoinducer, Vibrio and Microbiology. His work deals with themes such as Biochemistry, Active site, Stereochemistry, Dehydrogenase and Aldehyde dehydrogenase, which intersect with Vibrio harveyi. In general Biochemistry, his work in Amidase, Peptide sequence and Primer extension is often linked to Bifidobacterium longum and Bifidobacterium bifidum linking many areas of study.

His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Response regulator, Mutant, Gene expression and Molecular biology. His Autoinducer research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Promoter, cAMP receptor protein, Repressor, Activator and Catabolite repression. His Vibrio research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Vibrio vulnificus and Vibrio cholerae.
