2019 - Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS)

Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Biochemistry, Stereochemistry, Thrombin, Allosteric regulation and Enzyme are his primary areas of study. The Proteases and Glycoprotein research he does as part of his general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ice crystals, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. His studies in Stereochemistry integrate themes in fields like Ligand, Macromolecule, Dissociation, Protein structure and Allosteric enzyme.

Enrico Di Cera has researched Thrombin in several fields, including Anticoagulant, Protein C, Pharmacology and Active site. His research integrates issues of Protein engineering and Conformational change in his study of Allosteric regulation. The concepts of his Enzyme study are interwoven with issues in Molecular mechanism, Mutant, Structural biology, Monovalent Cations and Catalysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Evolution of enzyme cascades from embryonic development to blood coagulation (257 citations)
  • Serine proteases (221 citations)
  • Role of Na+ and K+ in Enzyme Function (215 citations)

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

Enrico Di Cera spends much of his time researching Thrombin, Stereochemistry, Biochemistry, Allosteric regulation and Active site. His Thrombin research integrates issues from Protein C, Fibrinogen, Mutant and Enzyme. His work deals with themes such as Ligand, Hydrolase, Crystallography, Protein structure and Binding site, which intersect with Stereochemistry.

The study incorporates disciplines such as Biophysics and Fibrin in addition to Biochemistry. His Allosteric regulation study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Hirudin and Cooperativity. In his work, Prothrombinase is strongly intertwined with Zymogen, which is a subfield of Active site.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Thrombin (51.72%)
  • Stereochemistry (34.48%)
  • Biochemistry (34.98%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2012-2021)?

  • Thrombin (51.72%)
  • Stereochemistry (34.48%)
  • Zymogen (7.39%)

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

Enrico Di Cera focuses on Thrombin, Stereochemistry, Zymogen, Biochemistry and Protein C. The various areas that Enrico Di Cera examines in his Thrombin study include Biophysics, Protease, Gla domain and Active site. Enrico Di Cera interconnects Protein structure, Hydrolase and Allosteric regulation in the investigation of issues within Stereochemistry.

His Zymogen study incorporates themes from Proteases, Structural biology, Clotting factor and Proteolysis. His research on Biochemistry frequently links to adjacent areas such as Thrombomodulin. His Protein C research incorporates elements of Platelet, Fibrinogen, Activator and Pharmacology.

Between 2012 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Conformational selection is a dominant mechanism of ligand binding. (89 citations)
  • Data publication with the structural biology data grid supports live analysis. (80 citations)
  • Essential role of conformational selection in ligand binding. (73 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Biochemistry

Enrico Di Cera mainly focuses on Stereochemistry, Thrombin, Gla domain, Biochemistry and Ligand. His work carried out in the field of Stereochemistry brings together such families of science as Allosteric enzyme and Mechanism. His Thrombin research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Zymogen, Protease and Active site.

His Active site course of study focuses on Trypsin and Proteases and Thromboplastin. His Gla domain research also works with subjects such as

  • Protein structure, which have a strong connection to Plasma protein binding,
  • Prothrombinase and related Cleavage, Crystallography and Structural biology. His study in Biochemistry is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biophysics and Compartmentalization.
