Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

His primary areas of investigation include Biochemistry, Cell wall, Enterococcus faecalis, Microbiology and Autolysis. His research in the fields of Forssman antigen overlaps with other disciplines such as Lysin. Specifically, his work in Cell wall is concerned with the study of Peptidoglycan.

Gerald D. Shockman has researched Enterococcus faecalis in several fields, including Kanamycin, Peptide sequence, Autolysin, Muramidase and Bacillus megaterium. Many of his research projects under Microbiology are closely connected to Lipoteichoic acid and Lactobacillus acidophilus with Lipoteichoic acid and Lactobacillus acidophilus, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. Gerald D. Shockman combines subjects such as Enzyme system, Substrate and Bacterial cell structure, Bacteria with his study of Autolysis.

His most cited work include:

  • Modular design of the Enterococcus hirae muramidase-2 and Streptococcus faecalis autolysin (129 citations)
  • Procaryotic Cell Division with Respect to Wall and Membranes (105 citations)
  • Model for Cell Wall Growth of Streptococcus faecalis (104 citations)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Peptidoglycan, Microbiology, Cell wall and Autolysis. His study on Biochemistry is mostly dedicated to connecting different topics, such as Streptococcus mutans. Gerald D. Shockman has included themes like Bacterial cell structure, Peptide and Lysozyme in his Peptidoglycan study.

His studies deal with areas such as Streptococcus, Bacteria and Lysine as well as Microbiology. His study in Cell wall is interdisciplinary in nature, drawing from both Biophysics, Enterococcus faecalis, Cell division and Protein biosynthesis. His studies in Autolysis integrate themes in fields like Ultrastructure, Cytoplasm and Mutant.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (71.00%)
  • Peptidoglycan (31.00%)
  • Microbiology (30.00%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1987-1998)?

  • Biochemistry (71.00%)
  • Enterococcus hirae (12.00%)
  • Peptidoglycan (31.00%)

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

Gerald D. Shockman mainly focuses on Biochemistry, Enterococcus hirae, Peptidoglycan, Peptide sequence and Muramidase. His Biochemistry study frequently draws connections between related disciplines such as Microbiology. His work deals with themes such as Molecular biology, Cell wall, Gene and Penicillin binding proteins, which intersect with Enterococcus hirae.

His Peptidoglycan study combines topics in areas such as Amidase and Lysozyme. His Peptide sequence study combines topics from a wide range of disciplines, such as Amino acid, Nucleic acid sequence and Autolysin. His study on Muramidase also encompasses disciplines like

  • Gel electrophoresis and related Penicillin binding, Penicillin and Extracellular,
  • Enterococcus faecium that connect with fields like Cell membrane and Carboxypeptidase.

Between 1987 and 1998, his most popular works were:

  • Modular design of the Enterococcus hirae muramidase-2 and Streptococcus faecalis autolysin (129 citations)
  • Modular design of theEnterococcus hiraemuramidase-2 andStreptococcus faecalisautolysin (100 citations)
  • Bacterial walls, peptidoglycan hydrolases, autolysins, and autolysis. (81 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Bacteria
  • Gene

His primary scientific interests are in Biochemistry, Peptidoglycan, Peptide sequence, Enterococcus hirae and Muramidase. His work on Microbiology expands to the thematically related Biochemistry. His work carried out in the field of Peptidoglycan brings together such families of science as Autolysis and Lysozyme.

His Peptide sequence research includes elements of Molecular biology, Restriction enzyme and Sequence analysis. His Enterococcus hirae research is multidisciplinary, incorporating perspectives in Nucleic acid sequence and Restriction map. His Muramidase study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Enterococcus, Extracellular, Enterococcus faecalis, Cell wall and Gel electrophoresis.
