Overview

What is she best known for?

The fields of study she is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • DNA
  • Biochemistry

Elena Conti mostly deals with Cell biology, Biochemistry, Protein structure, Exosome Multienzyme Ribonuclease Complex and TRAMP complex. Her studies deal with areas such as Karyopherins, Importin and Karyopherin as well as Cell biology. Her work in the fields of Biochemistry, such as Importin-alpha, Alpha Karyopherins, Active site and Multifunctional Enzymes, intersects with other areas such as Firefly luciferin.

Her biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Molecular biology, Enzyme complex and Binding site. Her research in Exosome Multienzyme Ribonuclease Complex intersects with topics in Exoribonuclease, RNase P, RNase PH and Exosome complex. Her TRAMP complex study combines topics in areas such as Stereochemistry, Sequence alignment and Exoribonuclease complex.

Her most cited work include:

  • Crystallographic analysis of the recognition of a nuclear localization signal by the nuclear import factor karyopherin alpha. (680 citations)
  • Structural basis for the activation of phenylalanine in the non-ribosomal biosynthesis of gramicidin S. (555 citations)
  • Crystal structure of firefly luciferase throws light on a superfamily of adenylate-forming enzymes. (490 citations)

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

Her primary areas of study are Cell biology, Biochemistry, Exosome complex, Genetics and RNA-binding protein. Elena Conti has researched Cell biology in several fields, including Exosome, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Helicase, Molecular biology and Protein structure. The various areas that Elena Conti examines in her Biochemistry study include Biophysics and Importin.

She interconnects TRAMP complex, Large ribosomal subunit and Exosome Multienzyme Ribonuclease Complex in the investigation of issues within Exosome complex. Her Genetics research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Nonsense-mediated decay and Exon junction complex. Her RNA-binding protein study deals with Nuclear export signal intersecting with Nuclear pore.

She most often published in these fields:

  • Cell biology (50.62%)
  • Biochemistry (25.31%)
  • Exosome complex (22.22%)

What were the highlights of her more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Cell biology (50.62%)
  • Exosome complex (22.22%)
  • RNA-binding protein (17.90%)

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

Her scientific interests lie mostly in Cell biology, Exosome complex, RNA-binding protein, Helicase and Genetics. Her Cell biology study incorporates themes from Protein structure, Biochemistry and Ribosome. Her Protein structure research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Plasma protein binding, CCR4-NOT complex and Binding site.

Her study in Exosome complex is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both TRAMP complex, Large ribosomal subunit, Computational biology and Exosome Multienzyme Ribonuclease Complex. She combines subjects such as Polyadenylation and Ribonucleoprotein with her study of RNA-binding protein. In her work, G-domain is strongly intertwined with Effector, which is a subfield of Genetics.

Between 2014 and 2020, her most popular works were:

  • RNA degradation paths in a 12-subunit nuclear exosome complex. (88 citations)
  • The cryo-EM structure of a ribosome-Ski2-Ski3-Ski8 helicase complex (71 citations)
  • Structure of a Human 4E-T/DDX6/CNOT1 Complex Reveals the Different Interplay of DDX6-Binding Proteins with the CCR4-NOT Complex (64 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • DNA
  • Biochemistry

Her primary areas of investigation include Cell biology, Exosome complex, TRAMP complex, Helicase and Genetics. Her Cell biology study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Ribosome, Ski complex, Exosome Multienzyme Ribonuclease Complex, RNA-binding protein and RNA Helicase A. Her Exosome Multienzyme Ribonuclease Complex research integrates issues from Cytoplasm and Conserved sequence.

Her work in Exosome complex tackles topics such as Large ribosomal subunit which are related to areas like Ribosomal protein. Her research integrates issues of Protein structure, Psychological repression and Ternary complex in her study of Genetics. Her RNase P research incorporates elements of KH domain, Biochemistry and RNA Stability.
