Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Gabriel Waksman focuses on Biochemistry, Cell biology, Pilus, Chaperone and Secretion. His Biochemistry study frequently links to other fields, such as Biophysics. His Cell biology research includes themes of Complementation, Mutagenesis, Beta sheet and Cytosol.

His work often combines Pilus and Biological sciences studies. His research integrates issues of Pilus assembly, Bacterial outer membrane and Protein subunit in his study of Chaperone. The Secretion study combines topics in areas such as ATPase, Function, Bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria and Virulence.

His most cited work include:

  • Binding of a high affinity phosphotyrosyl peptide to the Src SH2 domain: Crystal structures of the complexed and peptide-free forms (662 citations)
  • Crystal structures of open and closed forms of binary and ternary complexes of the large fragment of Thermus aquaticus DNA polymerase I: structural basis for nucleotide incorporation (593 citations)
  • CRYSTAL-STRUCTURE OF THE PHOSPHOTYROSINE RECOGNITION DOMAIN SH2 OF V-SRC COMPLEXED WITH TYROSINE-PHOSPHORYLATED PEPTIDES (561 citations)

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

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Cell biology, Secretion, Pilus and Biophysics. Biochemistry and Stereochemistry are commonly linked in his work. Gabriel Waksman interconnects Fimbria, Escherichia coli, Virulence and Bacteria in the investigation of issues within Cell biology.

His Secretion study incorporates themes from ATPase, Gram-negative bacteria, Microbiology and Effector. His Pilus research incorporates elements of Periplasmic space, Bacterial outer membrane, Protein subunit and Chaperone. Gabriel Waksman has researched Biophysics in several fields, including Membrane and Membrane protein.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (43.64%)
  • Cell biology (34.36%)
  • Secretion (36.08%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2014-2020)?

  • Secretion (36.08%)
  • Cell biology (34.36%)
  • Pilus (31.62%)

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

Secretion, Cell biology, Pilus, Bacteria and Effector are his primary areas of study. His Secretion research includes elements of ATPase, Bacterial conjugation, DNA, Inner membrane and Structural biology. DNA is the subject of his research, which falls under Biochemistry.

He has included themes like Plasmid, Bacterial outer membrane, Gram-negative bacteria and Virulence in his Cell biology study. Gabriel Waksman combines subjects such as Fimbria, Chaperone and Microbiology with his study of Pilus. The concepts of his Chaperone study are interwoven with issues in Bacterial adhesin and Protein subunit.

Between 2014 and 2020, his most popular works were:

  • Secretion systems in Gram-negative bacteria: structural and mechanistic insights (515 citations)
  • Type IV secretion in Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria. (144 citations)
  • A comprehensive guide to pilus biogenesis in Gram-negative bacteria (130 citations)

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

  • Gene
  • Enzyme
  • DNA

Gabriel Waksman spends much of his time researching Secretion, Bacteria, Pilus, Cell biology and DNA. His studies in Secretion integrate themes in fields like Structural biology, Biophysics and Effector. His Pilus research is multidisciplinary, incorporating elements of Structural protein, Chaperone, Escherichia coli Proteins and Protein quaternary structure.

His Cell biology research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Plasmid, Gram-negative bacteria and Pilin. His Plasmid research incorporates themes from Pilus assembly and Microbiology. His Bacterial conjugation study is concerned with the field of Biochemistry as a whole.
