Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study Gary K. Ackers is best known for:

Gene
Enzyme
Oxygen

Gary K. Ackers regularly links together related areas like Protein subunit in his Biochemistry studies. As part of his studies on Protein subunit, he often connects relevant subjects like Genetics. Genetics is frequently linked to Function (biology) in his study. His Function (biology) study often links to related topics such as Cell biology. His studies link Hippo signaling pathway with Cell biology. He regularly links together related areas like Regulator in his Gene studies. Regulator is closely attributed to Biochemistry in his research. Gary K. Ackers integrates many fields in his works, including Hemoglobin and Oxygen. Gary K. Ackers incorporates Oxygen and Bohr effect in his studies.

His most cited work include:

EFFECTS OF SITE-SPECIFIC AMINO ACID MODIFICATION ON PROTEIN INTERACTIONS AND BIOLOGICAL FUNCTION (215 citations)
Mutual effects of protons, NaCl, and oxygen on the dimer-tetramer assembly of human hemoglobin. The dimer Bohr effect. (100 citations)
Thermodynamic studies on subunit assembly in human hemoglobin. Temperature dependence of the dimer-tetramer association constants for oxygenated and unliganded hemoglobins. (95 citations)

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

Tetramer and Size-exclusion chromatography are all intrinsically tied to his study in Enzyme. In the subject of Chromatography, he integrates adjacent academic fields such as Partition coefficient and Analytical Chemistry (journal). Analytical Chemistry (journal) and Chromatography are frequently intertwined in his study. His work on Size-exclusion chromatography expands to the thematically related Biochemistry. Gary K. Ackers integrates several fields in his works, including Gene and Function (biology). His work often combines Function (biology) and Gene studies. Gary K. Ackers performs integrative study on Hemoglobin and Allosteric regulation. He merges many fields, such as Allosteric regulation and Cooperativity, in his writings. Gary K. Ackers undertakes multidisciplinary studies into Cooperativity and Hemoglobin in his work.
