Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Chemotaxis, Calcium, Cell biology and Biophysics. His Enzyme, Pertussis toxin, Cytochalasin B, Lysozyme and Protein kinase C study are his primary interests in Biochemistry. He interconnects Amino acid, Serine and Peptide in the investigation of issues within Chemotaxis.

His Calcium research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in N-Formylmethionine leucyl-phenylalanine and Leukotriene B4. His Cell biology course of study focuses on Secretion and In vitro, Phagocytosis and Immunology. His Biophysics study combines topics in areas such as Extracellular, Calcium in biology, Membrane and Dibucaine.

His most cited work include:

  • The structure-activity relations of synthetic peptides as chemotactic factors and inducers of lysosomal secretion for neutrophils. (601 citations)
  • Purification and identification of formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine as the major peptide neutrophil chemotactic factor produced by Escherichia coli. (449 citations)
  • Demonstration of a receptor on rabbit neutrophils for chemotactic peptides. (285 citations)

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

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Chemotaxis, Enzyme, Molecular biology and Receptor. The various areas that Elmer L. Becker examines in his Biochemistry study include Biophysics and Guinea pig. His Chemotaxis study incorporates themes from Calcium, Extracellular, Cell biology, Cytochalasin B and Peptide.

His Extracellular research incorporates themes from Internal medicine, Stimulation and Endocrinology. In his research, Tripeptide, Residue, Peptide synthesis and Biological activity is intimately related to Stereochemistry, which falls under the overarching field of Peptide. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Protein kinase A and Phosphorylation.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (60.43%)
  • Chemotaxis (41.18%)
  • Enzyme (17.11%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1983-2009)?

  • Biochemistry (60.43%)
  • Chemotaxis (41.18%)
  • Phorbol (8.56%)

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

Elmer L. Becker mainly investigates Biochemistry, Chemotaxis, Phorbol, Pertussis toxin and Molecular biology. His Biochemistry study frequently involves adjacent topics like Leukotriene B4. His Chemotaxis study is related to the wider topic of Receptor.

The Phorbol study combines topics in areas such as Platelet-activating factor and Cytosol. His studies in Pertussis toxin integrate themes in fields like GTP-binding protein regulators, GTPase and Calcium. His Molecular biology research incorporates elements of Cholera toxin, Kinase, Protein kinase A, Phosphorylation and Intracellular pH.

Between 1983 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Purification and identification of formyl-methionyl-leucyl-phenylalanine as the major peptide neutrophil chemotactic factor produced by Escherichia coli. (449 citations)
  • Effect of phorbol 12-myristate 13-acetate and its analogue 4 alpha-phorbol 12,13-didecanoate on protein phosphorylation and lysosomal enzyme release in rabbit neutrophils. (189 citations)
  • Pertussis toxin inhibits the rise in the intracellular concentration of free calcium that is induced by chemotactic factors in rabbit neutrophils: Possible role of the “G proteins” in calcium mobilization (152 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

Elmer L. Becker mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Pertussis toxin, Protein kinase A, Phorbol and Molecular biology. His study in Chemotaxis and Biological activity falls within the category of Biochemistry. His work deals with themes such as Amino acid and Intracellular, which intersect with Chemotaxis.

His research integrates issues of Extracellular, GTP-binding protein regulators and Cytoskeleton in his study of Pertussis toxin. The study incorporates disciplines such as Intracellular pH and Cholera toxin in addition to Phorbol. His Molecular biology study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Signal transduction, Phosphorylation and Tyrosine phosphorylation.
