Overview

What is he best known for?

The fields of study he is best known for:

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Gerald Litwack spends much of his time researching Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Glucocorticoid receptor, Receptor and Proteases. His research combines In vivo and Biochemistry. His Molecular biology research includes elements of Apoptosis, Protein subunit, Recombinant DNA and Cysteine protease.

His research integrates issues of Size-exclusion chromatography, Pyridoxal phosphate, Dithiothreitol, Phosphate and Triamcinolone acetonide in his study of Glucocorticoid receptor. His research in Receptor intersects with topics in Pyridoxamine, Chromatography, Gel electrophoresis and Kidney metabolism. His Proteases research includes themes of Granzyme B and Protease.

His most cited work include:

  • CPP32, a novel human apoptotic protein with homology to Caenorhabditis elegans cell death protein Ced-3 and mammalian interleukin-1 beta-converting enzyme. (1140 citations)
  • In vitro activation of CPP32 and Mch3 by Mch4, a novel human apoptotic cysteine protease containing two FADD-like domains. (693 citations)
  • Cleavage of lamin A by Mch2 alpha but not CPP32: multiple interleukin 1 beta-converting enzyme-related proteases with distinct substrate recognition properties are active in apoptosis. (495 citations)

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

Gerald Litwack mainly investigates Biochemistry, Glucocorticoid receptor, Internal medicine, Endocrinology and Receptor. As part of his studies on Biochemistry, Gerald Litwack frequently links adjacent subjects like Molecular biology. Gerald Litwack has researched Molecular biology in several fields, including Cell culture, Cysteine protease, Apoptosis, Promoter and Oligonucleotide.

His Apoptosis research incorporates themes from Proteases and Protease. His research in Glucocorticoid receptor tackles topics such as Cell biology which are related to areas like Programmed cell death and Nuclear receptor coactivator 2. His Receptor research integrates issues from Chromatography, Sephadex, Protein kinase A and Binding site.

He most often published in these fields:

  • Biochemistry (49.64%)
  • Glucocorticoid receptor (30.29%)
  • Internal medicine (25.55%)

What were the highlights of his more recent work (between 1995-2018)?

  • Biochemistry (49.64%)
  • Molecular biology (22.63%)
  • Apoptosis (8.76%)

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

The scientist’s investigation covers issues in Biochemistry, Molecular biology, Apoptosis, Internal medicine and Endocrinology. Biochemistry connects with themes related to Antibody in his study. Gerald Litwack has included themes like Cell culture, Cysteine protease, Mineralocorticoid receptor, Oligonucleotide and Glucocorticoid receptor in his Molecular biology study.

His work deals with themes such as Immunology, Glucocorticoid and Cell biology, which intersect with Apoptosis. Many of his research projects under Endocrinology are closely connected to Posterior pituitary with Posterior pituitary, tying the diverse disciplines of science together. His Proteases research is multidisciplinary, relying on both Granzyme B and Protein subunit.

Between 1995 and 2018, his most popular works were:

  • In vitro activation of CPP32 and Mch3 by Mch4, a novel human apoptotic cysteine protease containing two FADD-like domains. (693 citations)
  • Cleavage of lamin A by Mch2 alpha but not CPP32: multiple interleukin 1 beta-converting enzyme-related proteases with distinct substrate recognition properties are active in apoptosis. (495 citations)
  • Molecular ordering of the Fas-apoptotic pathway: The Fas/APO-1 protease Mch5 is a CrmA-inhibitable protease that activates multiple Ced-3/ICE-like cysteine proteases (488 citations)

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

  • Enzyme
  • Gene
  • DNA

Gerald Litwack mostly deals with Molecular biology, Apoptosis, Proteases, Biochemistry and Cell biology. His studies in Molecular biology integrate themes in fields like Caspase 3, Glucocorticoid receptor and Mineralocorticoid receptor. The Apoptosis study combines topics in areas such as Cell culture, Receptor and Glucocorticoid.

His studies examine the connections between Receptor and genetics, as well as such issues in Promoter, with regards to Internal medicine and Endocrinology.
