Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

Aqueous solution, Crystallography, Analytical chemistry, Micelle and Fibril are his primary areas of study. His work carried out in the field of Aqueous solution brings together such families of science as Inorganic chemistry, Chromatography, Statistical physics and Phase diagram. His Chromatography research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Phase transition, Binodal, Lens protein and Phase.

His research integrates issues of Salt and Nucleation in his study of Micelle. His studies in Fibril integrate themes in fields like Amyloid and Monomer. His Amyloid research includes elements of Biophysics and Biochemistry, Circular dichroism.

His most cited work include:

  • Amyloid β-protein (Aβ) assembly: Aβ40 and Aβ42 oligomerize through distinct pathways (993 citations)
  • Amyloid β-protein fibrillogenesis. Structure and biological activity of protofibrillar intermediates (927 citations)
  • Theory of Transparency of the Eye (773 citations)

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

George B. Benedek spends much of his time researching Light scattering, Chromatography, Crystallography, Optics and Aqueous solution. George B. Benedek usually deals with Chromatography and limits it to topics linked to Analytical chemistry and Lens protein. His Crystallography research includes themes of Crystallization, Nucleation, Protein structure, Crystallin and Binodal.

George B. Benedek studies Micelle which is a part of Aqueous solution. As part of one scientific family, George B. Benedek deals mainly with the area of Micelle, narrowing it down to issues related to the Inorganic chemistry, and often Sodium dodecyl sulfate. In his study, Amyloid, Normal lens, Lens crystalline and Protein aggregation is inextricably linked to Biophysics, which falls within the broad field of Lens.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Light scattering (18.06%)
  • Chromatography (17.18%)
  • Crystallography (15.42%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 2003-2017)?

  • Crystallography (15.42%)
  • Phase (7.93%)
  • Biochemistry (9.69%)

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

George B. Benedek mainly investigates Crystallography, Phase, Biochemistry, Phase transition and Solubility. His Crystallography research integrates issues from Molecule, Self assembling, Phase diagram and Spring. The Phase study combines topics in areas such as Crystallin and Analytical chemistry.

His Crystallin study incorporates themes from Mutation, Aqueous solution and Escherichia coli. His Biochemistry study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Neurotoxicity and Amyloid. In his study, Crystal structure, Kinetics, Chromatography and Nucleation is strongly linked to Crystallization, which falls under the umbrella field of Chemical physics.

Between 2003 and 2017, his most popular works were:

  • Lysine-Specific Molecular Tweezers Are Broad-Spectrum Inhibitors of Assembly and Toxicity of Amyloid Proteins (186 citations)
  • C-terminal peptides coassemble into Aβ42 oligomers and protect neurons against Aβ42-induced neurotoxicity (129 citations)
  • Decrease in Protein Solubility and Cataract Formation Caused by the Pro23 to Thr Mutation in Human γD-Crystallin†,‡ (76 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Organic chemistry
  • Biochemistry

George B. Benedek mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Amyloid, Phase, Solubility and Peptide. His work in Biochemistry covers topics such as Neurotoxicity which are related to areas like Biophysics. His work carried out in the field of Amyloid brings together such families of science as Fibril, Lysine and Monomer.

His work deals with themes such as Blood proteins, Chromatography, Human serum albumin and Monoclonal antibody, which intersect with Phase. His biological study spans a wide range of topics, including Crystallin and Mutant. His Peptide research includes themes of C-terminus and Stereochemistry.
