Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Metabolism

His scientific interests lie mostly in Biochemistry, Trypanosoma brucei, Glycolysis, Glycosome and Microbody. His Biochemistry study is mostly concerned with Phosphoglycerate kinase, Enzyme, Malate dehydrogenase, Dehydrogenase and Phosphofructokinase. His study in Enzyme is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Molecular biology, Protozoa and Leishmania.

His Trypanosoma brucei study incorporates themes from Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase, Hexokinase, Oxidase test, Respiratory chain and Citric acid cycle. His research in the fields of Pyruvate kinase overlaps with other disciplines such as Glucose transporter. Glycosome is a subfield of Genetics that Fred R. Opperdoes explores.

His most cited work include:

  • The Genome of the African Trypanosome Trypanosoma brucei (1391 citations)
  • Localization of nine glycolytic enzymes in a microbody-like organelle in Trypanosoma brucei: the glycosome. (497 citations)
  • Glycolytic enzymes of Trypanosoma brucei. Simultaneous purification, intraglycosomal concentrations and physical properties. (195 citations)

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

Biochemistry, Trypanosoma brucei, Enzyme, Glycosome and Molecular biology are his primary areas of study. His work in Dehydrogenase, Glycolysis, Pyruvate kinase, Glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate dehydrogenase and Phosphoglycerate kinase are all subfields of Biochemistry research. His Trypanosoma brucei study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Cytosol, Hexokinase, Escherichia coli, Aldolase A and Suramin.

His studies deal with areas such as Stereochemistry and Leishmania mexicana as well as Enzyme. His study looks at the intersection of Glycosome and topics like Mitochondrion with Metabolism. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Protein subunit, Endoplasmic reticulum, Acid phosphatase, Phosphodiesterase and Isozyme.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (74.13%)
  • Trypanosoma brucei (46.85%)
  • Enzyme (34.97%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2007-2021)?

  • Biochemistry (74.13%)
  • Genome (6.99%)
  • Gene (13.99%)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Genome, Gene, Leishmania and Genetics. His work on Metabolism, Enzyme and Amino acid as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to Naegleria fowleri, therefore connecting diverse disciplines of science. As a part of the same scientific family, Fred R. Opperdoes mostly works in the field of Genome, focusing on Phytomonas and, on occasion, Genome size, Glycolysis, Alcohol dehydrogenase and Fermentation.

His work in the fields of Gene, such as Clade, intersects with other areas such as Comparative genomics. He focuses mostly in the field of Genetics, narrowing it down to matters related to Trypanosomatina and, in some cases, Leishmania mexicana. His Glycosome study is focused on Trypanosoma brucei in general.

Between 2007 and 2021, his most popular works were:

  • Differential expression of glycosomal and mitochondrial proteins in the two major life-cycle stages of Trypanosoma brucei (77 citations)
  • Leptomonas seymouri: Adaptations to the Dixenous Life Cycle Analyzed by Genome Sequencing, Transcriptome Profiling and Co-infection with Leishmania donovani. (64 citations)
  • Recent advances in trypanosomatid research: genome organization, expression, metabolism, taxonomy and evolution (63 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • Metabolism

His primary areas of study are Trypanosoma, Biochemistry, Trypanosomatina, Genetics and Genome. His Trypanosoma research includes elements of Trypanothione, Peroxisome, Alternative oxidase and Bodo saltans. His work on Enzyme, Trypanosoma brucei, Coenzyme A and Metabolism as part of general Biochemistry study is frequently linked to Pteridine reductase, bridging the gap between disciplines.

His Enzyme study deals with Electron transport chain intersecting with Kinetoplastida. His Trypanosoma brucei research focuses on Glycosome in particular. His Trypanosomatina research incorporates elements of Phytomonas, Gene, Botany and Leishmania.
