Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

Esmond E. Snell mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Pyridoxal, Pyridoxine, Vitamin b complex and Amino acid. The various areas that Esmond E. Snell examines in his Biochemistry study include Lactic acid and Bacteria. His biological study deals with issues like Glycine, which deal with fields such as Microbiology.

He focuses mostly in the field of Pyridoxal, narrowing it down to matters related to Catalysis and, in some cases, Metal salts, Serine, Cysteine and Vitamin b6. The Pyridoxine study combines topics in areas such as Vitamin and Transamination. His Vitamin b complex study incorporates themes from Food science and Biotin.

His most cited work include:

  • A General Mechanism for Vitamin B6-catalyzed Reactions1 (566 citations)
  • Spectra and Ionization Constants of the Vitamin B6 Group and Related 3-Hydroxypyridine Derivatives1 (256 citations)
  • A MICROBIOLOGICAL METHOD FOR THE DETERMINATION OF NICOTINIC ACID (232 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Pyridoxine, Enzyme, Pantothenic acid and Pyridoxal are his primary areas of study. The study incorporates disciplines such as Lactic acid and Bacteria in addition to Biochemistry. His research on Pyridoxine also deals with topics like

  • Vitamin b6 that connect with fields like Group,
  • Biotin which connect with Egg white.

His Enzyme study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Chromatography, Stereochemistry and Pseudomonas. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Growth inhibition and Pantethine. His Pyridoxal research includes themes of Vitamin, Catalysis and Metal.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (73.41%)
  • Pyridoxine (19.08%)
  • Enzyme (18.50%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1977-2009)?

  • Biochemistry (73.41%)
  • Histidine decarboxylase (13.29%)
  • Pyridoxal phosphate (14.45%)

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

His main research concerns Biochemistry, Histidine decarboxylase, Pyridoxal phosphate, Enzyme and Stereochemistry. In the field of Biochemistry, his study on Amino acid, Pyridoxal and Vitamin b6 overlaps with subjects such as Cyanogen bromide. His Histidine decarboxylase research incorporates elements of Decarboxylation, Carboxy-lyases, Serine and Alpha chain.

His Pyridoxal phosphate research also works with subjects such as

  • Microbiological assay, which have a strong connection to Vitamin b and Isolation,
  • Tyrosine decarboxylase which intersects with area such as Pyridoxine, Indole test, Aromatic L-amino acid decarboxylase and Tryptophan. He has researched Enzyme in several fields, including Ionic bonding, Adduct, Chromatography and Crystallography. His work carried out in the field of Stereochemistry brings together such families of science as Residue, Active site, Succinic acid, Flavin group and Cytochrome.

Between 1977 and 2009, his most popular works were:

  • Pyruvoyl-dependent histidine decarboxylase. Active site structure and mechanistic analysis. (68 citations)
  • Conversion of prohistidine decarboxylase to histidine decarboxylase: Peptide chain cleavage by nonhydrolytic serinolysis (55 citations)
  • Pyridoxal phosphate-dependent histidine decarboxylases. Cloning, sequencing, and expression of genes from Klebsiella planticola and Enterobacter aerogenes and properties of the overexpressed enzymes. (41 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Biochemistry
  • Amino acid

His scientific interests lie mostly in Histidine decarboxylase, Biochemistry, Histidine, Enzyme and Serine. His Histidine decarboxylase research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Pyridoxal, Decarboxylation, Stereochemistry and Active site. He has included themes like Biosynthesis, Pyridoxal phosphate, Adduct, Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and Mutant protein in his Pyridoxal study.

He combines subjects such as Enterobacter aerogenes and Enterobacter with his study of Histidine. The Sedimentation equilibrium research Esmond E. Snell does as part of his general Enzyme study is frequently linked to other disciplines of science, such as Ionic strength, therefore creating a link between diverse domains of science. He interconnects Cleavage, Carboxy-lyases, Peptide and Threonine in the investigation of issues within Amino acid.
