Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid
  • Organic chemistry

His primary areas of investigation include Stereochemistry, Biophysics, Cyclic peptide, Gramicidin A and Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Elkan R. Blout performs integrative study on Stereochemistry and Beta. His research integrates issues of Protein structure, Native state, Lipid bilayer and Folding in his study of Biophysics.

His Cyclic peptide research includes themes of Triple-resonance nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Molecular conformation. His work in Gramicidin A covers topics such as Crystallography which are related to areas like Peptide. His study in Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Peptide bond, Vesicle, Dimer and Proline.

His Circular dichroism research is within the category of Crystallography.

His Crystallography research includes elements of Side chain and Disulfide bond. His work deals with themes such as Amino acid, Nanotechnology and Enzyme model, which intersect with Cyclic peptide. His Protein structure study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Sodium dodecyl sulfate and Aqueous solution.

Between 1979 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Conformations of (X-L-Pro-Y)2 cyclic hexapeptides. Preferred beta-turn conformers and implications for beta turns in proteins. (176 citations)
  • Conformation of gramicidin A in phospholipid vesicles: circular dichroism studies of effects of ion binding, chemical modification, and lipid structure (130 citations)
  • Circular dichroism spectroscopy of bovine pancreatic trypsin inhibitor and five altered conformational states. Relationship of conformation and the refolding pathway of the trypsin inhibitor. (78 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Amino acid
  • Organic chemistry

His scientific interests lie mostly in Circular dichroism, Stereochemistry, Native protein, Gramicidin and Conformational isomerism. His Circular dichroism research incorporates themes from Size-exclusion chromatography, Phenylalanine, Lipid structure and Biophysics. Elkan R. Blout has researched Stereochemistry in several fields, including Tyrosine and Chromophore.
